Hi Mark,

2 questions for the spec file...
1) Isn't it safer to "Require" the library even if it could be installed by default?
Requires: gperftools-libs
2) It might be useful to define the global variable
%global use_tcmalloc 1
and put the enabling code in %if %{use_tcmalloc} ?

Thanks!

Hi Mark,

Requires: gperftools-libs

But it is required to do the "build" which is why I used BuildRequires. As long as "Requires" is sufficient I'll change it.

2) It might be useful to define the global variable
%global use_tcmalloc 1
and put the enabling code in %if %{use_tcmalloc} ?

Yeah I thought about that, but eventually decided against it. I have no problem adding it though :)

I'll start on a new patch...

Thanks!

Oh, if you have a reason to drop it, I respect it. They are my "questions". :)

I think we need both?

Sorry, Mark. My comment was not clear...

I meant to add "Requires: gperftools-libs" for the installation.
148 +%if %{use_tcmalloc}
149 +BuildRequires: gperftools-devel
1?? +Requires: gperftools-libs
150 +TCMALLOC_FLAGS="--with-tcmalloc"
151 +%endif

Well I add the global flag for tcmalloc in the spec file. However, I'm still unsure about BuilldRequires vs Requires. When I said that it was required to build the server it was because "make install" fails if libtcmalloc was not present on the system. But it is also definitely needed for the server after compiling.

---> I just saw your comment about Requires. Okay - that makes sense. I'll work on a new patch :)

Thank you, Mark! You have my ack.

This fixes some issues with tcmalloc and the new NS bundling. Additionally, this resolves an issue with tcmalloc with ASAN, and tcmalloc on s390.
