Build will warn but not stop if the dependency is missing. + + +## Advanced configuration + +The 'configure' script supports numerous options that allow control of which +functionality is enabled, where jemalloc is installed, etc. Optionally, pass +any of the following arguments (not a definitive list) to 'configure': + +* `--help` + + Print a definitive list of options. + +* `--prefix=<install-root-dir>` + + Set the base directory in which to install. For example: + + ./configure --prefix=/usr/local + + will cause files to be installed into /usr/local/include, /usr/local/lib, + and /usr/local/man. + +* `--with-version=(<major>.<minor>.<bugfix>-<nrev>-g<gid>|VERSION)` + + The VERSION file is mandatory for successful configuration, and the + following steps are taken to assure its presence: + 1) If --with-version=<major>.<minor>.<bugfix>-<nrev>-g<gid> is specified, + generate VERSION using the specified value. + 2) If --with-version is not specified in either form and the source + directory is inside a git repository, try to generate VERSION via 'git + describe' invocations that pattern-match release tags. + 3) If VERSION is missing, generate it with a bogus version: + 0.0.0-0-g0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 + + Note that --with-version=VERSION bypasses (1) and (2), which simplifies + VERSION configuration when embedding a jemalloc release into another + project's git repository. + +* `--with-rpath=<colon-separated-rpath>` + + Embed one or more library paths, so that libjemalloc can find the libraries + it is linked to. This works only on ELF-based systems. + +* `--with-mangling=<map>` + + Mangle public symbols specified in <map> which is a comma-separated list of + name:mangled pairs. + + For example, to use ld's --wrap option as an alternative method for + overriding libc's malloc implementation, specify something like: + + --with-mangling=malloc:__wrap_malloc,free:__wrap_free[...] + + Note that mangling happens prior to application of the prefix specified by + --with-jemalloc-prefix, and mangled symbols are then ignored when applying + the prefix. + +* `--with-jemalloc-prefix=<prefix>` + + Prefix all public APIs with <prefix>. For example, if <prefix> is + "prefix_", API changes like the following occur: + + malloc() --> prefix_malloc() + malloc_conf --> prefix_malloc_conf + /etc/malloc.conf --> /etc/prefix_malloc.conf + MALLOC_CONF --> PREFIX_MALLOC_CONF + + This makes it possible to use jemalloc at the same time as the system + allocator, or even to use multiple copies of jemalloc simultaneously. + + By default, the prefix is "", except on OS X, where it is "je_". On OS X, + jemalloc overlays the default malloc zone, but makes no attempt to actually + replace the "malloc", "calloc", etc. symbols. + +* `--without-export` + + Don't export public APIs. This can be useful when building jemalloc as a + static library, or to avoid exporting public APIs when using the zone + allocator on OSX. + +* `--with-private-namespace=<prefix>` + + Prefix all library-private APIs with <prefix>je_. For shared libraries, + symbol visibility mechanisms prevent these symbols from being exported, but + for static libraries, naming collisions are a real possibility. By + default, <prefix> is empty, which results in a symbol prefix of je_ . + +* `--with-install-suffix=<suffix>` + + Append <suffix> to the base name of all installed files, such that multiple + versions of jemalloc can coexist in the same installation directory. For + example, libjemalloc.so.0 becomes libjemalloc<suffix>.so.0. + +* `--with-malloc-conf=<malloc_conf>` + + Embed `<malloc_conf>` as a run-time options string that is processed prior to + the malloc_conf global variable, the /etc/malloc.conf symlink, and the + MALLOC_CONF environment variable. For example, to change the default decay + time to 30 seconds: + + --with-malloc-conf=decay_ms:30000 + +* `--enable-debug` + + Enable assertions and validation code. This incurs a substantial + performance hit, but is very useful during application development. + +* `--disable-stats` + + Disable statistics gathering functionality. See the "opt.stats_print" + option documentation for usage details. + +* `--enable-prof` + + Enable heap profiling and leak detection functionality. See the "opt.prof" + option documentation for usage details. When enabled, there are several + approaches to backtracing, and the configure script chooses the first one + in the following list that appears to function correctly: + + + libunwind (requires --enable-prof-libunwind) + + libgcc (unless --disable-prof-libgcc) + + gcc intrinsics (unless --disable-prof-gcc) + +* `--enable-prof-libunwind` + + Use the libunwind library (http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/) for stack + backtracing. + +* `--disable-prof-libgcc` + + Disable the use of libgcc's backtracing functionality. + +* `--disable-prof-gcc` + + Disable the use of gcc intrinsics for backtracing. + +* `--with-static-libunwind=<libunwind.a>` + + Statically link against the specified libunwind.a rather than dynamically + linking with -lunwind. + +* `--disable-fill` + + Disable support for junk/zero filling of memory. See the "opt.junk" and + "opt.zero" option documentation for usage details. + +* `--disable-zone-allocator` + + Disable zone allocator for Darwin. This means jemalloc won't be hooked as + the default allocator on OSX/iOS. + +* `--enable-utrace` + + Enable utrace(2)-based allocation tracing. This feature is not broadly + portable (FreeBSD has it, but Linux and OS X do not). + +* `--enable-xmalloc` + + Enable support for optional immediate termination due to out-of-memory + errors, as is commonly implemented by "xmalloc" wrapper function for malloc. + See the "opt.xmalloc" option documentation for usage details. + +* `--enable-lazy-lock` + + Enable code that wraps pthread_create() to detect when an application + switches from single-threaded to multi-threaded mode, so that it can avoid + mutex locking/unlocking operations while in single-threaded mode. In + practice, this feature usually has little impact on performance unless + thread-specific caching is disabled. + +* `--disable-cache-oblivious` + + Disable cache-oblivious large allocation alignment by default, for large + allocation requests with no alignment constraints. If this feature is + disabled, all large allocations are page-aligned as an implementation + artifact, which can severely harm CPU cache utilization. However, the + cache-oblivious layout comes at the cost of one extra page per large + allocation, which in the most extreme case increases physical memory usage + for the 16 KiB size class to 20 KiB. + +* `--disable-syscall` + + Disable use of syscall(2) rather than {open,read,write,close}(2). This is + intended as a workaround for systems that place security limitations on + syscall(2). + +* `--disable-cxx` + + Disable C++ integration. This will cause new and delete operator + implementations to be omitted. + +* `--with-xslroot=<path>` + + Specify where to find DocBook XSL stylesheets when building the + documentation. + +* `--with-lg-page=<lg-page>` + + Specify the base 2 log of the allocator page size, which must in turn be at + least as large as the system page size. By default the configure script + determines the host's page size and sets the allocator page size equal to + the system page size, so this option need not be specified unless the + system page size may change between configuration and execution, e.g. when + cross compiling. + +* `--with-lg-hugepage=<lg-hugepage>` + + Specify the base 2 log of the system huge page size. This option is useful + when cross compiling, or when overriding the default for systems that do + not explicitly support huge pages. + +* `--with-lg-quantum=<lg-quantum>` + + Specify the base 2 log of the minimum allocation alignment. jemalloc needs + to know the minimum alignment that meets the following C standard + requirement (quoted from the April 12, 2011 draft of the C11 standard): + + > The pointer returned if the allocation succeeds is suitably aligned so + that it may be assigned to a pointer to any type of object with a + fundamental alignment requirement and then used to access such an object + or an array of such objects in the space allocated [...] + + This setting is architecture-specific, and although jemalloc includes known + safe values for the most commonly used modern architectures, there is a + wrinkle related to GNU libc (glibc) that may impact your choice of + <lg-quantum>. On most modern architectures, this mandates 16-byte + alignment (<lg-quantum>=4), but the glibc developers chose not to meet this + requirement for performance reasons. An old discussion can be found at + <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206> . Unlike glibc, + jemalloc does follow the C standard by default (caveat: jemalloc + technically cheats for size classes smaller than the quantum), but the fact + that Linux systems already work around this allocator noncompliance means + that it is generally safe in practice to let jemalloc's minimum alignment + follow glibc's lead. If you specify `--with-lg-quantum=3` during + configuration, jemalloc will provide additional size classes that are not + 16-byte-aligned (24, 40, and 56). + +* `--with-lg-vaddr=<lg-vaddr>` + + Specify the number of significant virtual address bits. By default, the + configure script attempts to detect virtual address size on those platforms + where it knows how, and picks a default otherwise. This option may be + useful when cross-compiling. + +* `--disable-initial-exec-tls` + + Disable the initial-exec TLS model for jemalloc's internal thread-local + storage (on those platforms that support explicit settings). This can allow + jemalloc to be dynamically loaded after program startup (e.g. using dlopen). + Note that in this case, there will be two malloc implementations operating + in the same process, which will almost certainly result in confusing runtime + crashes if pointers leak from one implementation to the other. + +* `--disable-libdl` + + Disable the usage of libdl, namely dlsym(3) which is required by the lazy + lock option. This can allow building static binaries. + +The following environment variables (not a definitive list) impact configure's +behavior: + +* `CFLAGS="?"` +* `CXXFLAGS="?"` + + Pass these flags to the C/C++ compiler. Any flags set by the configure + script are prepended, which means explicitly set flags generally take + precedence. Take care when specifying flags such as -Werror, because + configure tests may be affected in undesirable ways. + +* `EXTRA_CFLAGS="?"` +* `EXTRA_CXXFLAGS="?"` + + Append these flags to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, without passing them to the + compiler(s) during configuration. This makes it possible to add flags such + as -Werror, while allowing the configure script to determine what other + flags are appropriate for the specified configuration. + +* `CPPFLAGS="?"` + + Pass these flags to the C preprocessor. Note that CFLAGS is not passed to + 'cpp' when 'configure' is looking for include files, so you must use + CPPFLAGS instead if you need to help 'configure' find header files. + +* `LD_LIBRARY_PATH="?"` + + 'ld' uses this colon-separated list to find libraries. + +* `LDFLAGS="?"` + + Pass these flags when linking. + +* `PATH="?"` + + 'configure' uses this to find programs. + +In some cases it may be necessary to work around configuration results that do +not match reality. For example, Linux 4.5 added support for the MADV_FREE flag +to madvise(2), which can cause problems if building on a host with MADV_FREE +support and deploying to a target without. To work around this, use a cache +file to override the relevant configuration variable defined in configure.ac, +e.g.: + + echo "je_cv_madv_free=no" > config.cache && ./configure -C + + +## Advanced compilation + +To build only parts of jemalloc, use the following targets: + + build_lib_shared + build_lib_static + build_lib + build_doc_html + build_doc_man + build_doc + +To install only parts of jemalloc, use the following targets: + + install_bin + install_include + install_lib_shared + install_lib_static + install_lib_pc + install_lib + install_doc_html + install_doc_man + install_doc + +To clean up build results to varying degrees, use the following make targets: + + clean + distclean + relclean + + +## Advanced installation + +Optionally, define make variables when invoking make, including (not +exclusively): + +* `INCLUDEDIR="?"` + + Use this as the installation prefix for header files. + +* `LIBDIR="?"` + + Use this as the installation prefix for libraries. + +* `MANDIR="?"` + + Use this as the installation prefix for man pages. + +* `DESTDIR="?"` + + Prepend DESTDIR to INCLUDEDIR, LIBDIR, DATADIR, and MANDIR. This is useful + when installing to a different path than was specified via --prefix. + +* `CC="?"` + + Use this to invoke the C compiler. + +* `CFLAGS="?"` + + Pass these flags to the compiler. + +* `CPPFLAGS="?"` + + Pass these flags to the C preprocessor. + +* `LDFLAGS="?"` + + Pass these flags when linking. + +* `PATH="?"` + + Use this to search for programs used during configuration and building. + + +## Development + +If you intend to make non-trivial changes to jemalloc, use the 'autogen.sh' +script rather than 'configure'. This re-generates 'configure', enables +configuration dependency rules, and enables re-generation of automatically +generated source files. + +The build system supports using an object directory separate from the source +tree. For example, you can create an 'obj' directory, and from within that +directory, issue configuration and build commands: + + autoconf + mkdir obj + cd obj + ../configure --enable-autogen + make + + +## Documentation + +The manual page is generated in both html and roff formats. Any web browser +can be used to view the html manual. The roff manual page can be formatted +prior to installation via the following command: + + nroff -man -t doc/jemalloc.3 |
