I'm proposing that obmalloc is changed to know better than system malloc on systems supporting anonymous mmap, and Windows, and that the call malloc(ARENA_SIZE) is replaced by mmap. This has the advantage of doing better than system malloc on Solaris, plus it also might guarantee that arenas will be POOL_SIZE aligned. OTOH, the calls realloc(arenas, nbytes) malloc(nbytes) should continue to go to system malloc, because they are typically not multiples of the system page size. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3526> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
