Discussing these concerns during the next available MM Alignment session makes sense. At a minimum, Suren and Kent can present their reasons for believing the current approach is superior to the previously proposed alternatives. However, delaying the discussion and feature merge until after LSF/MM seems unnecessary. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, we've already leveraged the concepts within this feature to debug unexplained memory overhead, saving us many terabytes of memory. This was just the initial benefit; we haven't even explored its full potential to track every allocation path. Pasha
