gperftools 2.5 is out!

Just single bugfix was merged after rc2. Which was fix for issue #777.

== 5 Mar 2016 ==

gperftools 2.5rc2 is out!

New release contains just few commits on top of first release
candidate. One of them is build fix for Visual Studio. Another
significant change is that dynamic sized delete is now disabled by
default. It turned out that IFUNC relocations are not supporting our
advanced use case on all platforms and in all cases.

== 21 Feb 2016 ==

gperftools 2.5rc is out!

Here are major changes since 2.4:

* we've moved to github!

* Bryan Chan has contributed s390x support

* stacktrace capturing via libgcc's _Unwind_Backtrace was implemented
  (for architectures with missing or broken libunwind).

* "emergency malloc" was implemented. Which unbreaks recursive calls
  to malloc/free from stacktrace capturing functions (such us glib'c
  backtrace() or libunwind on arm). It is enabled by
  --enable-emergency-malloc configure flag or by default on arm when
  --enable-stacktrace-via-backtrace is given. It is another fix for a
  number common issues people had on platforms with missing or broken
  libunwind.

* C++14 sized-deallocation is now supported (on gcc 5 and recent
  clangs). It is off by default and can be enabled at configure time
  via --enable-sized-delete. On GNU/Linux it can also be enabled at
  run-time by either TCMALLOC_ENABLE_SIZED_DELETE environment variable
  or by defining tcmalloc_sized_delete_enabled function which should
  return 1 to enable it.

* we've lowered default value of transfer batch size to 512. Previous
  value (bumped up in 2.1) was too high and caused performance
  regression for some users. 512 should still give us performance
  boost for workloads that need higher transfer batch size while not
  penalizing other workloads too much.

* Brian Silverman's patch finally stopped arming profiling timer
  unless profiling is started.

* Andrew Morrow has contributed support for obtaining cache size of the
  current thread and softer idling (for use in MongoDB).

* we've implemented few minor performance improvements, particularly
  on malloc fast-path.

A number of smaller fixes were made. Many of them were contributed:

* issue that caused spurious profiler_unittest.sh failures was fixed.

* Jonathan Lambrechts contributed improved callgrind format support to
  pprof.

* Matt Cross contributed better support for debug symbols in separate
  files to pprof.

* Matt Cross contributed support for printing collapsed stack frame
  from pprof aimed at producing flame graphs.

* Angus Gratton has contributed documentation fix mentioning that on
  windows only tcmalloc_minimal is supported.

* Anton Samokhvalov has made tcmalloc use mi_force_{un,}lock on OSX
  instead of pthread_atfork. Which apparently fixes forking
  issues tcmalloc had on OSX.

* Milton Chiang has contributed support for building 32-bit gperftools
  on arm8.

* Patrick LoPresti has contributed support for specifying alternative
  profiling signal via CPUPROFILE_TIMER_SIGNAL environment variable.

* Paolo Bonzini has contributed support configuring filename for
  sending malloc tracing output via TCMALLOC_TRACE_FILE environment
  variable.

* user spotrh has enabled use of futex on arm.

* user mitchblank has contributed better declaration for arg-less
  profiler functions.

* Tom Conerly contributed proper freeing of memory allocated in
  HeapProfileTable::FillOrderedProfile on error paths.

* user fdeweerdt has contributed curl arguments handling fix in pprof

* Frederik Mellbin fixed tcmalloc's idea of mangled new and delete
  symbols on windows x64

* Dair Grant has contributed cacheline alignment for ThreadCache
  objects

* Fredrik Mellbin has contributed updated windows/config.h for Visual
  Studio 2015 and other windows fixes.

* we're not linking libpthread to libtcmalloc_minimal anymore. Instead
  libtcmalloc_minimal links to pthread symbols weakly. As a result
  single-threaded programs remain single-threaded when linking to or
  preloading libtcmalloc_minimal.so.

* Boris Sazonov has contributed mips compilation fix and printf misue
  in pprof.

* Adhemerval Zanella has contributed alignment fixes for statically
  allocated variables.

* Jens Rosenboom has contributed fixes for heap-profiler_unittest.sh

* gshirishfree has contributed better description for GetStats method.

* cyshi has contributed spinlock pause fix.

* Chris Mayo has contributed --docdir argument support for configure.

* Duncan Sands has contributed fix for function aliases.

* Simon Que contributed better include for malloc_hook_c.h

* user wmamrak contributed struct timespec fix for Visual Studio 2015.

* user ssubotin contributed typo in PrintAvailability code.


== 10 Jan 2015 ==

gperftools 2.4 is out! The code is exactly same as 2.4rc.

== 28 Dec 2014 ==

gperftools 2.4rc is out!

Here are changes since 2.3:

* enabled aggressive decommit option by default. It was found to
  significantly improve memory fragmentation with negligible impact on
  performance. (Thanks to investigation work performed by Adhemerval
  Zanella)

* added ./configure flags for tcmalloc pagesize and tcmalloc
  allocation alignment. Larger page sizes have been reported to
  improve performance occasionally. (Patch by Raphael Moreira Zinsly)

* sped-up hot-path of malloc/free. By about 5% on static library and
  about 10% on shared library. Mainly due to more efficient checking
  of malloc hooks.

* improved stacktrace capturing in cpu profiler (due to issue found by
  Arun Sharma). As part of that issue pprof's handling of cpu profiles
  was also improved.

== 7 Dec 2014 ==

gperftools 2.3 is out!

Here are changes since 2.3rc:

* (issue 658) correctly close socketpair fds on failure (patch by glider)

* libunwind integration can be disabled at configure time (patch by
  Raphael Moreira Zinsly)

* libunwind integration is disabled by default for ppc64 (patch by
  Raphael Moreira Zinsly)

* libunwind integration is force-disabled for OSX. It was not used by
  default anyways. Fixes compilation issue I saw.

== 2 Nov 2014 ==

gperftools 2.3rc is out!

Most small improvements in this release were made to pprof tool.

New experimental Linux-only (for now) cpu profiling mode is a notable
big improvement.

Here are notable changes since 2.2.1:

* (issue-631) fixed debugallocation miscompilation on mmap-less
  platforms (courtesy of user iamxujian)

* (issue-630) reference to wrong PROFILE (vs. correct CPUPROFILE)
  environment variable was fixed (courtesy of WenSheng He)

* pprof now has option to display stack traces in output for heap
  checker (courtesy of Michael Pasieka)

* (issue-636) pprof web command now works on mingw

* (issue-635) pprof now handles library paths that contain spaces
  (courtesy of user mich...@sebesbefut.com)

* (issue-637) pprof now has an option to not strip template arguments
  (patch by jiakai)

* (issue-644) possible out-of-bounds access in GetenvBeforeMain was
  fixed (thanks to user abyss.7)

* (issue-641) pprof now has an option --show_addresses (thanks to user
  yurivict). New option prints instruction address in addition to
  function name in stack traces

* (issue-646) pprof now works around some issues of addr2line
  reportedly when DWARF v4 format is used (patch by Adam McNeeney)

* (issue-645) heap profiler exit message now includes remaining memory
  allocated info (patch by user yurivict)

* pprof code that finds location of /proc/<pid>/maps in cpu profile
  files is now fixed (patch by Ricardo M. Correia)

* (issue-654) pprof now handles "split text segments" feature of
  Chromium for Android. (patch by simonb)

* (issue-655) potential deadlock on windows caused by early call to
  getenv in malloc initialization code was fixed (bug reported and fix
  proposed by user zndmitry)

* incorrect detection of arm 6zk instruction set support
  (-mcpu=arm1176jzf-s) was fixed. (Reported by pedronavf on old
  issue-493)

* new cpu profiling mode on Linux is now implemented. It sets up
  separate profiling timers for separate threads. Which improves
  accuracy of profiling on Linux a lot. It is off by default. And is
  enabled if both librt.f is loaded and CPUPROFILE_PER_THREAD_TIMERS
  environment variable is set. But note that all threads need to be
  registered via ProfilerRegisterThread.

== 21 Jun 2014 ==

gperftools 2.2.1 is out!

Here's list of fixes:

* issue-626 was closed. Which fixes initialization statically linked
  tcmalloc.

* issue 628 was closed. It adds missing header file into source
  tarball. This fixes for compilation on PPC Linux.

== 3 May 2014 ==

gperftools 2.2 is out!

Here are notable changes since 2.2rc:

* issue 620 (crash on windows when c runtime dll is reloaded) was
  fixed

== 19 Apr 2014 ==

gperftools 2.2rc is out!

Here are notable changes since 2.1:

* a number of fixes for a number compilers and platforms. Notably
  Visual Studio 2013, recent mingw with c++ threads and some OSX
  fixes.

* we now have mips and mips64 support! (courtesy of Jovan Zelincevic,
  Jean Lee, user xiaoyur347 and others)

* we now have aarch64 (aka arm64) support! (contributed by Riku
  Voipio)

* there's now support for ppc64-le (by Raphael Moreira Zinsly and
  Adhemerval Zanella)

* there's now some support of uclibc (contributed by user xiaoyur347)

* google/ headers will now give you deprecation warning. They are
  deprecated since 2.0

* there's now new api: tc_malloc_skip_new_handler (ported from chromium
  fork)

* issue-557: added support for dumping heap profile via signal (by
  Jean Lee)

* issue-567: Petr Hosek contributed SysAllocator support for windows

* Joonsoo Kim contributed several speedups for central freelist code

* TCMALLOC_MAX_TOTAL_THREAD_CACHE_BYTES environment variable now works

* configure scripts are now using AM_MAINTAINER_MODE. It'll only
  affect folks who modify source from .tar.gz and want automake to
  automatically rebuild Makefile-s. See automake documentation for
  that.

* issue-586: detect main executable even if PIE is active (based on
  patch by user themastermind1). Notably, it fixes profiler use with
  ruby.

* there is now support for switching backtrace capturing method at
  runtime (via TCMALLOC_STACKTRACE_METHOD and
  TCMALLOC_STACKTRACE_METHOD_VERBOSE environment variables)

* there is new backtrace capturing method using -finstrument-functions
  prologues contributed by user xiaoyur347

* few cases of crashes/deadlocks in profiler were addressed. See
  (famous) issue-66, issue-547 and issue-579.

* issue-464 (memory corruption in debugalloc's realloc after
  memallign) is now fixed

* tcmalloc is now able to release memory back to OS on windows
  (issue-489). The code was ported from chromium fork (by a number of
  authors).

* Together with issue-489 we ported chromium's "aggressive decommit"
  mode. In this mode (settable via malloc extension and via
  environment variable TCMALLOC_AGGRESSIVE_DECOMMIT), free pages are
  returned back to OS immediately.

* MallocExtension::instance() is now faster (based on patch by
  Adhemerval Zanella)

* issue-610 (hangs on windows in multibyte locales) is now fixed

The following people helped with ideas or patches (based on git log,
some contributions purely in bugtracker might be missing): Andrew

== 30 July 2013 ==

gperftools 2.1 is out!

Just few fixes where merged after rc. Most notably:

* Some fixes for debug allocation on POWER/Linux

== 20 July 2013 ==

gperftools 2.1rc is out!

As a result of more than a year of contributions we're ready for 2.1
release.

But before making that step I'd like to create RC and make sure people
have chance to test it.

Here are notable changes since 2.0:

* fixes for building on newer platforms. Notably, there's now initial
  support for x32 ABI (--enable-minimal only at this time))

* new getNumericProperty stats for cache sizes

* added HEAP_PROFILER_TIME_INTERVAL variable (see documentation)

* added environment variable to control heap size (TCMALLOC_HEAP_LIMIT_MB)

* added environment variable to disable release of memory back to OS
  (TCMALLOC_DISABLE_MEMORY_RELEASE)

* cpu profiler can now be switched on and off by sending it a signal
  (specified in CPUPROFILESIGNAL)

* (issue 491) fixed race-ful spinlock wake-ups

* (issue 496) added some support for fork-ing of process that is using
  tcmalloc

* (issue 368) improved memory fragmentation when large chunks of
  memory are allocated/freed

I've just released gperftools 2.0

The `google-perftools` project has been renamed to `gperftools`.  I
(csilvers) am stepping down as maintainer, to be replaced by
David Chappelle.  Welcome to the team, David!  David has been an
an active contributor to perftools in the past -- in fact, he's the
only person other than me that already has commit status.  I am
pleased to have him take over as maintainer.

I have both renamed the project (the Google Code site renamed a few
weeks ago), and bumped the major version number up to 2, to reflect
the new community ownership of the project.  Almost all the
[http://gperftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/gperftools-2.0/ChangeLog changes]
are related to the renaming.

The main functional change from google-perftools 1.10 is that
I've renamed the `google/` include-directory to be `gperftools/`
instead.  New code should `#include <gperftools/tcmalloc.h>`/etc.
(Most users of perftools don't need any perftools-specific includes at
all, so this is mostly directed to "power users.")  I've kept the old
names around as forwarding headers to the new, so `#include
<google/tcmalloc.h>` will continue to work.

(The other functional change which I snuck in is getting rid of some
bash-isms in one of the unittest driver scripts, so it could run on
Solaris.)

Note that some internal names still contain the text `google`, such as
the `google_malloc` internal linker section.  I think that's a
trickier transition, and can happen in a future release (if at all).


=== 31 January 2012 ===

I've just released perftools 1.10

There is an API-incompatible change: several of the methods in the
`MallocExtension` class have changed from taking a `void*` to taking a
`const void*`.  You should not be affected by this API change
unless you've written your own custom malloc extension that derives
from `MallocExtension`, but since it is a user-visible change, I have
upped the `.so` version number for this release.

This release focuses on improvements to linux-syscall-support.h,
including ARM and PPC fixups and general cleanups.  I hope this will
magically fix an array of bugs people have been seeing.

There is also exciting news on the porting front, with support for
patching win64 assembly contributed by IBM Canada!  This is an
important step -- perhaps the most difficult -- to getting perftools
to work on 64-bit windows using the patching technique (it doesn't
affect the libc-modification technique).  `premable_patcher_test` has
been added to help test these changes; it is meant to compile under
x86_64, and won't work under win32.

For the full list of changes, including improved `HEAP_PROFILE_MMAP`
support, see the
[http://gperftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/google-perftools-1.10/ChangeLog ChangeLog].


=== 24 January 2011 ===

The `google-perftools` Google Code page has been renamed to
`gperftools`, in preparation for the project being renamed to
`gperftools`.  In the coming weeks, I'll be stepping down as
maintainer for the perftools project, and as part of that Google is
relinquishing ownership of the project; it will now be entirely
community run.  The name change reflects that shift.  The 'g' in
'gperftools' stands for 'great'. :-)

=== 23 December 2011 ===

I've just released perftools 1.9.1

I missed including a file in the tarball, that is needed to compile on
ARM.  If you are not compiling on ARM, or have successfully compiled
perftools 1.9, there is no need to upgrade.


=== 22 December 2011 ===

I've just released perftools 1.9

This change has a slew of improvements, from better ARM and freebsd
support, to improved performance by moving some code outside of locks,
to better pprof reporting of code with overloaded functions.

The full list of changes is in the
[http://google-perftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/google-perftools-1.9/ChangeLog ChangeLog].


=== 26 August 2011 ===

I've just released perftools 1.8.3

The star-crossed 1.8 series continues; in 1.8.1, I had accidentally
removed some code that was needed for FreeBSD.  (Without this code
many apps would crash at startup.)  This release re-adds that code.
If you are not on FreeBSD, or are using FreeBSD with perftools 1.8 or
earlier, there is no need to upgrade.

=== 11 August 2011 ===

I've just released perftools 1.8.2

I was incorrectly calculating the patch-level in the configuration
step, meaning the TC_VERSION_PATCH #define in tcmalloc.h was wrong.
Since the testing framework checks for this, it was failing.  Now it
should work again.  This time, I was careful to re-run my tests after
upping the version number. :-)

If you don't care about the TC_VERSION_PATCH #define, there's no
reason to upgrae.

=== 26 July 2011 ===

I've just released perftools 1.8.1

I was missing an #include that caused the build to break under some
compilers, especially newer gcc's, that wanted it.  This only affects
people who build from source, so only the .tar.gz file is updated from
perftools 1.8.  If you didn't have any problems compiling perftools
1.8, there's no reason to upgrade.

=== 15 July 2011 ===

I've just released perftools 1.8

Of the many changes in this release, a good number pertain to porting.
I've revamped OS X support to use the malloc-zone framework; it should
now Just Work to link in tcmalloc, without needing
`DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE` or the like.  (This is a pretty major
change, so please feel free to report feedback at
google-perftools@googlegroups.com.)  64-bit Windows support is also
improved, as is ARM support, and the hooks are in place to improve
FreeBSD support as well.

On the other hand, I'm seeing hanging tests on Cygwin.  I see the same
hanging even with (the old) perftools 1.7, so I'm guessing this is
either a problem specific to my Cygwin installation, or nobody is
trying to use perftools under Cygwin.  If you can reproduce the
problem, and even better have a solution, you can report it at
google-perftools@googlegroups.com.

Internal changes include several performance and space-saving tweaks.
One is user-visible (but in "stealth mode", and otherwise
undocumented): you can compile with `-DTCMALLOC_SMALL_BUT_SLOW`.  In
this mode, tcmalloc will use less memory overhead, at the cost of
running (likely not noticeably) slower.

There are many other changes as well, too numerous to recount here,
but present in the
[http://google-perftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/google-perftools-1.8/ChangeLog ChangeLog].


=== 7 February 2011 ===

Thanks to endlessr..., who
[http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/issues/detail?id=307 identified]
why some tests were failing under MSVC 10 in release mode.  It does not look
like these failures point toward any problem with tcmalloc itself; rather, the
problem is with the test, which made some assumptions that broke under the
some aggressive optimizations used in MSVC 10.  I'll fix the test, but in
the meantime, feel free to use perftools even when compiled under MSVC
10.

=== 4 February 2011 ===

I've just released perftools 1.7

I apologize for the delay since the last release; so many great new
patches and bugfixes kept coming in (and are still coming in; I also
apologize to those folks who have to slip until the next release).  I
picked this arbitrary time to make a cut.

Among the many new features in this release is a multi-megabyte
reduction in the amount of tcmalloc overhead uder x86_64, improved
performance in the case of contention, and many many bugfixes,
especially architecture-specific bugfixes.  See the
[http://google-perftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/google-perftools-1.7/ChangeLog ChangeLog]
for full details.

One architecture-specific change of note is added comments in the
[http://google-perftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/perftools-1.7/README README]
for using tcmalloc under OS X.  I'm trying to get my head around the
exact behavior of the OS X linker, and hope to have more improvements
for the next release, but I hope these notes help folks who have been
having trouble with tcmalloc on OS X.

*Windows users*: I've heard reports that some unittests fail on
Windows when compiled with MSVC 10 in Release mode.  All tests pass in
Debug mode.  I've not heard of any problems with earlier versions of
MSVC.  I don't know if this is a problem with the runtime patching (so
the static patching discussed in README_windows.txt will still work),
a problem with perftools more generally, or a bug in MSVC 10.  Anyone
with windows expertise that can debug this, I'd be glad to hear from!


=== 5 August 2010 ===

I've just released perftools 1.6

This version also has a large number of minor changes, including
support for `malloc_usable_size()` as a glibc-compatible alias to
`malloc_size()`, the addition of SVG-based output to `pprof`, and
experimental support for tcmalloc large pages, which may speed up
tcmalloc at the cost of greater memory use.  To use tcmalloc large
pages, see the
[http://google-perftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/perftools-1.6/INSTALL
INSTALL file]; for all changes, see the
[http://google-perftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/perftools-1.6/ChangeLog
ChangeLog].

OS X NOTE: improvements in the profiler unittest have turned up an OS
X issue: in multithreaded programs, it seems that OS X often delivers
the profiling signal (from sigitimer()) to the main thread, even when
it's sleeping, rather than spawned threads that are doing actual work.
If anyone knows details of how OS X handles SIGPROF events (from
setitimer) in threaded programs, and has insight into this problem,
please send mail to google-perftools@googlegroups.com.

To see if you're affected by this, look for profiling time that pprof
attributes to `___semwait_signal`.  This is work being done in other
threads, that is being attributed to sleeping-time in the main thread.


=== 20 January 2010 ===

I've just released perftools 1.5

This version has a slew of changes, leading to somewhat faster
performance and improvements in portability.  It adds features like
`ITIMER_REAL` support to the cpu profiler, and `tc_set_new_mode` to
mimic the windows function of the same name.  Full details are in the
[http://google-perftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/perftools-1.5/ChangeLog
ChangeLog].


=== 11 September 2009 ===

I've just released perftools 1.4

The major change this release is the addition of a debugging malloc
library!  If you link with `libtcmalloc_debug.so` instead of
`libtcmalloc.so` (and likewise for the `minimal` variants) you'll get
a debugging malloc, which will catch double-frees, writes to freed
data, `free`/`delete` and `delete`/`delete[]` mismatches, and even
(optionally) writes past the end of an allocated block.

We plan to do more with this library in the future, including
supporting it on Windows, and adding the ability to use the debugging
library with your default malloc in addition to using it with
tcmalloc.

There are also the usual complement of bug fixes, documented in the
ChangeLog, and a few minor user-tunable knobs added to components like
the system allocator.


=== 9 June 2009 ===

I've just released perftools 1.3

Like 1.2, this has a variety of bug fixes, especially related to the
Windows build.  One of my bugfixes is to undo the weird `ld -r` fix to
`.a` files that I introduced in perftools 1.2: it caused problems on
too many platforms.  I've reverted back to normal `.a` files.  To work
around the original problem that prompted the `ld -r` fix, I now
provide `libtcmalloc_and_profiler.a`, for folks who want to link in
both.

The most interesting API change is that I now not only override
`malloc`/`free`/etc, I also expose them via a unique set of symbols:
`tc_malloc`/`tc_free`/etc.  This enables clients to write their own
memory wrappers that use tcmalloc:
{{{
   void* malloc(size_t size) { void* r = tc_malloc(size); Log(r); return r; }
}}}


=== 17 April 2009 ===

I've just released perftools 1.2.

This is mostly a bugfix release.  The major change is internal: I have
a new system for creating packages, which allows me to create 64-bit
packages.  (I still don't do that for perftools, because there is
still no great 64-bit solution, with libunwind still giving problems
and --disable-frame-pointers not practical in every environment.)

Another interesting change involves Windows: a
[http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/issues/detail?id=126 new
patch] allows users to choose to override malloc/free/etc on Windows
rather than patching, as is done now.  This can be used to create
custom CRTs.

My fix for this
[http://groups.google.com/group/google-perftools/browse_thread/thread/1ff9b50043090d9d/a59210c4206f2060?lnk=gst&q=dynamic#a59210c4206f2060
bug involving static linking] ended up being to make libtcmalloc.a and
libperftools.a a big .o file, rather than a true `ar` archive.  This
should not yield any problems in practice -- in fact, it should be
better, since the heap profiler, leak checker, and cpu profiler will
now all work even with the static libraries -- but if you find it
does, please file a bug report.

Finally, the profile_handler_unittest provided in the perftools
testsuite (new in this release) is failing on FreeBSD.  The end-to-end
test that uses the profile-handler is passing, so I suspect the
problem may be with the test, not the perftools code itself.  However,
I do not know enough about how itimers work on FreeBSD to be able to
debug it.  If you can figure it out, please let me know!

=== 11 March 2009 ===

I've just released perftools 1.1!

It has many changes since perftools 1.0 including

  * Faster performance due to dynamically sized thread caches
  * Better heap-sampling for more realistic profiles
  * Improved support on Windows (MSVC 7.1 and cygwin)
  * Better stacktraces in linux (using VDSO)
  * Many bug fixes and feature requests

Note: if you use the CPU-profiler with applications that fork without
doing an exec right afterwards, please see the README.  Recent testing
has shown that profiles are unreliable in that case.  The problem has
existed since the first release of perftools.  We expect to have a fix
for perftools 1.2.  For more details, see
[http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/issues/detail?id=105 issue 105].

Everyone who uses perftools 1.0 is encouraged to upgrade to perftools
1.1.  If you see any problems with the new release, please file a bug
report at http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/issues/list.

Enjoy!
