From 9fa78ca99e32c0f27b6071cc2ddffdf43cb9b9d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Haberkorn Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2021 17:16:11 +0200 Subject: use memory polling (--disable-malloc-replacement) on Mac OS X * I could not get malloc replacement via dlmalloc to work. This does not work like on Linux by overwriting weak malloc() functions. It should theoretically be possible to overwrite the default malloc zone but I could not properly debug this since I can only build for Mac OS via CI. * memory polling seems to work though - test suite runs through and it includes memory limiting test cases. --- README | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README index 03f6902..53f4bd5 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -28,10 +28,11 @@ Others might work as well.
