Description
Some desirables are not research-interesting, and don't substantially affect the core functionality or performance or reliability of liballocs, but are relatively small changes that could make an outsized difference to the ability of others to pick up liballocs and use it in practical contexts. This meta-issue collects such issues.
- Nix build support could be very useful #60
- Support debuginfod for just-in-time metadata creation #75
- Make use of LLVM allocation site information in DWARF #106
- gdb macros for interacting with liballocs #142
- Post-hoc allocation site analysis #99
To these, I would add the following possible contributions to other codebases:
- contribute a version of liballocs's
dumpallocs.mlallocation site ("sizeofness") analysis to LLVM and/or GCC - record calls to
__builtin_alloca()in the DWARF generated by LLVM and/or GCC, probably as aninlined_subroutine
... which collectively would enable liballocs to work fully/reliably without the use of a compiler wrapper, given binaries built with these improved compilers.
