< p > You can set extra environment variables to check that mimalloc is running, like: < / p > < div class = "fragment" > < div class = "line" > env MIMALLOC_VERBOSE=1 LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libmimalloc.so myprogram< / div > < / div > <!-- fragment --> < p > or run with the debug version to get detailed statistics: < / p > < div class = "fragment" > < div class = "line" > env MIMALLOC_STATS=1 LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libmimalloc-debug.so myprogram< / div > < / div > <!-- fragment --> < h3 > Windows< / h3 >
< p > On Windows you need to link your program explicitly with the mimalloc DLL, and use the C-runtime library as a DLL (the < code > /MD< / code > or < code > /MDd< / code > switch). To ensure the mimalloc DLL gets loaded it is easiest to insert some call to the mimalloc API in the < code > main< / code > function, like < code > mi_version()< / code > .< / p >
< p > Due to the way mimalloc intercepts the standard malloc at runtime, it is best to link to the mimalloc import library first on the command line so it gets loaded right after the universal C runtime DLL (< code > ucrtbase< / code > ). See the < code > mimalloc-override-test< / code > project for an example.< / p >
< h2 > Static override< / h2 >
< p > On Unix systems, you can also statically link with < em > mimalloc< / em > to override the standard malloc interface. The recommended way is to link the final program with the < em > mimalloc< / em > single object file (< code > mimalloc-override.o< / code > ). We use an object file instead of a library file as linkers give preference to that over archives to resolve symbols. To ensure that the standard malloc interface resolves to the < em > mimalloc< / em > library, link it as the first object file. For example:< / p >
< div class = "fragment" > < div class = "line" > gcc -o myprogram mimalloc-< span class = "keyword" > override< / span > .o myfile1.c ...< / div > < / div > <!-- fragment --> < h2 > List of Overrides:< / h2 >
< p > The specific functions that get redirected to the < em > mimalloc< / em > library are:< / p >
< div class = "fragment" > < div class = "line" > < span class = "comment" > // C< / span > < / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * malloc(< span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > size);< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * calloc(< span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > size, < span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > n);< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * realloc(< span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * p, < span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > newsize);< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > free(< span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * p);< / div > < div class = "line" > < / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "comment" > // C++< / span > < / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > < span class = "keyword" > operator< / span > < span class = "keyword" > delete< / span > (< span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * p);< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > < span class = "keyword" > operator< / span > < span class = "keyword" > delete< / span > [](< span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * p);< / div > < div class = "line" > < / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * < span class = "keyword" > operator< / span > < span class = "keyword" > new< / span > (std::size_t n) noexcept(< span class = "keyword" > false< / span > );< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * < span class = "keyword" > operator< / span > < span class = "keyword" > new< / span > [](std::size_t n) noexcept(< span class = "keyword" > false< / span > );< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * < span class = "keyword" > operator< / span > < span class = "keyword" > new< / span > ( std::size_t n, std::align_val_t align) noexcept(< span class = "keyword" > false< / span > );< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * < span class = "keyword" > operator< / span > < span class = "keyword" > new< / span > []( std::size_t n, std::align_val_t align) noexcept(< span class = "keyword" > false< / span > );< / div > < div class = "line" > < / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * < span class = "keyword" > operator< / span > < span class = "keyword" > new< / span > ( std::size_t count, < span class = "keyword" > const< / span > std::nothrow_t& tag);< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * < span class = "keyword" > operator< / span > < span class = "keyword" > new< / span > []( std::size_t count, < span class = "keyword" > const< / span > std::nothrow_t& tag);< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * < span class = "keyword" > operator< / span > < span class = "keyword" > new< / span > ( std::size_t count, std::align_val_t al, < span class = "keyword" > const< / span > std::nothrow_t& );< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * < span class = "keyword" > operator< / span > < span class = "keyword" > new< / span > []( std::size_t count, std::align_val_t al, < span class = "keyword" > const< / span > std::nothrow_t& );< / div > < div class = "line" > < / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "comment" > // Posix< / span > < / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > int< / span > posix_memalign(< span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > ** p, < span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > alignment, < span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > size);< / div > < div class = "line" > < / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "comment" > // Linux< / span > < / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * memalign(< span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > alignment, < span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > size);< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * aligned_alloc(< span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > alignment, < span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > size);< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * valloc(< span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > size);< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * pvalloc(< span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > size);< / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > size_t< / span > malloc_usable_size(< span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > *p);< / div > < div class = "line" > < / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "comment" > // BSD< / span > < / div > < div class = "line" > < span class = "keywordtype" > void< / span > * r
