Re: [Gnash-dev] question: jmalloc

[Hong Yu]

Thanks for the information! So to enable it, I only need to add 
'--enable-jemalloc' in build, right? And this works for both malloc/free 
and new/delete, right? Is '--enable-jemalloc' a new feature in gnash-0.8.3?

Where are the white papers related? I am interested to read about. Thanks!

Best regards,

Hong Yu
