As described in PR libstdc++/113258 there are old versions of tcmalloc which replace malloc and related APIs, but do not repalce aligned_alloc because it didn't exist at the time they were released. This means that when operator new(size_t, align_val_t) uses aligned_alloc to obtain memory, it comes from libc's aligned_alloc not from tcmalloc. But when operator delete(void*, size_t, align_val_t) uses free to deallocate the memory, that goes to tcmalloc's replacement version of free, which doesn't know how to free it. If we give preference to the older posix_memalign instead of aligned_alloc then we're more likely to use a function that will be compatible with the replacement version of free. Because posix_memalign has been around for longer, it's more likely that old third-party malloc replacements will also replace posix_memalign alongside malloc and free. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: PR libstdc++/113258 * libsupc++/new_opa.cc: Prefer to use posix_memalign if available.
This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the individual source files for details. The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed individually.
