I would like to request a change of the Packaging Guidelines, advising
packagers not to interpose malloc.
The reasons are:
* We have resources to support glibc malloc, but not for other mallocs.
* Other mallocs do not follow ABI and provide insufficient alignment.
* Choosing a malloc is workload-dependent and forcing a non-default
malloc takes options away from system administrators.
This does not concern other allocators, such as Boehm GC or APR, only
the standard malloc interfaces.
Comments?
Thanks,
Florian
