+Building and installing a packaged release of jemalloc can be as simple as
+typing the following while in the root directory of the source tree:
+
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
+
+If building from unpackaged developer sources, the simplest command sequence
+that might work is:
+
+ ./autogen.sh
+ make
+ make install
+
+You can uninstall the installed build artifacts like this:
+
+ make uninstall
+
+Notes:
+ - "autoconf" needs to be installed
+ - Documentation is built by the default target only when xsltproc is
+available. 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
