Tue Feb 8 09:57:17 2005 Google Inc. <opensource@google.com> * google-perftools: initial release: The google-perftools package contains some utilities to improve and analyze the performance of C++ programs. This includes an optimized thread-caching malloc() and cpu and heap profiling utilities. Tue May 31 08:14:38 2005 Google Inc. <opensource@google.com> * google-perftools: version 0.2 release * Use mmap2() instead of mmap(), to map more memory (menage) * Do correct pthread-local checking in heap-checker! (maxim) * Avoid overflow on 64-bit machines in pprof (sanjay) * Add a few more GetPC() functions, including for AMD (csilvers) * Better method for overriding pthread functions (menage) * (Hacky) fix to avoid overwriting profile files after fork() (csilvers) * Crashing bugfix involving dumping heaps on small-stack threads (tudor) * Allow library versions with letters at the end (csilvers) * Config fixes for systems that don't define PATH_MAX (csilvers) * Confix fixes so we no longer need config.h after install (csilvers) * Fix to pprof to correctly read very big cpu profiles (csilvers) * Fix to pprof to deal with new commandline flags in modern gv's * Better error reporting when we can't access /proc/maps (etune) * Get rid of the libc-preallocate code (which could crash on some systems); no longer needed with local-threads fix (csilvers) Fri Jun 24 18:02:26 2005 Google Inc. <opensource@google.com> * Add missing errno include for one of the unittests (csilvers) * Reduce tcmalloc startup memory from 5M to 256K (sanjay) * Add support for mallopt() and mallinfo (sanjay) * Improve stacktrace's performance on some 64-bit systems (etune) * Improve the stacktrace unittest (etune) Wed Oct 26 15:19:16 2005 Google Inc. <opensource@google.com> * Decrease fragmentation in tcmalloc (lefevere) * Support for ARM in some of the thread-specific code (markus) * Turn off heap-checker for statically-linked binaries, which cause error leak reports now (etune) * Many pprof improvements, including a command-line interface (jeff) * CPU profiling now automatically affects all threads in linux 2.6. (Kernel bugs break CPU profiling and threads in linux 2.4 a bit.) ProfilerEnable() and ProfilerDisable() are deprecated. (sanjay) * tcmalloc now correctly intercepts memalign (m3b, maxim) * Syntax fix: added missing va_end()s. Helps non-gcc compiling (etune) * Fixed a few coredumper bugs: race condition after PTRACE_DETACH, ignore non-aligned stackframe pointers (markus, menage) * 64-bit cleanup, especially for spinlock code (etune) and mmap (sanjay) * Better support for finding threads in linux (markus) * tcmalloc now tracks those stack traces that allocate memory (sanjay) * Work around a weird setspecific problem (sanjay) * Fix tcmalloc overflow problems when an alloc is close to 2G/4G (sanjay)
