Debug_check_empty now empties the free lists, and checks it empties all the
queues in the allocator. This does not require statistic tracking to
work anymore.
This additionally can check internal regression that cause leaks that
are not the clients fault.
If the first call to alloc uses the minimum size class, then we end up
leaking a whole page of allocations. We fill the small_fast_free_list,
in a call to build the message_queue. But this means the
small_fast_free_list[0] is not empty. But the code was staying on the
slow path, and overwriting it.
If some tests on Windows are co-scheduled, then they run out of commit
space and crash. For example, in func-memory,
test_external_pointer_large can cause the small CI machines to run out
of commit space on Windows.
HEADER_GLOBAL was using non-standard attributes to achieve what C++17
now permits with a keyword. Use the standard formulation.
Update the README to note that gcc is still not recommended, but because
of its poor codegen for 128-bit atomic compare and exchange, rather than
because it doesn't support the attribute used for HEADER_GLOBAL.
The pagemap global is now an inline static of a template class, so that
we will see different symbols for the different types.
Issue #84 showed that it's possible to compile two compilation units
with different pagemaps, link them together, and have them attempt to
interpret the global pagemap as two different types. This change should
make that impossible.
Also make the `pagemap()` function static so that it can be used from
static functions, avoiding other things that directly reference the
global pagemap.
Pull out a generic POSIX PAL as a superclass for the Linux and generic
BSD PALs. Now we have FreeBSD and Linux adding OS-specific behaviour,
OpenBSD as a named subclass of the generic BSD PAL that doesn't add any
behaviour.
I believe a NetBSD PAL should now be identical to the OpenBSD one -
patches welcome if anyone wants to test one!
