This project has begun being ported to Windows. A working solution
|
|
|
|
|
file exists in this directory:
|
|
|
|
|
google-perftools.sln
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can load this solution file into either VC++ 7.1 (Visual Studio
|
|
|
|
|
2003) or VC++ 8.0 (Visual Studio 2005) -- in the latter case, it will
|
|
|
|
|
automatically convert the files to the latest format for you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you build the solution, it will create a number of unittests,
|
|
|
|
|
which you can run by hand (or, more easily, under the Visual Studio
|
|
|
|
|
debugger) to make sure everything is working properly on your system.
|
|
|
|
|
The binaries will end up in a directory called "debug" or "release" in
|
|
|
|
|
the top-level directory (next to the .sln file).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that these systems are set to build in Debug mode by default.
|
|
|
|
|
You may want to change them to Release mode.

|
To use tcmalloc_minimal in your own projects, you should only need to
|
|
|
|
|
build the dll and install it someplace, so you can link it into
|
2007-08-17 20:56:15 +00:00
|
|
|
further binaries. Note that the tcmalloc DLL is compiled with
|
|
|
|
|
the "Multithreaded DLL" CRT library -- this is required so we can
|
|
|
|
|
override malloc in user applications. This means, to use the tcmalloc
|
|
|
|
|
DLL, your applcation must link in the "Multithreaded DLL" CRT library
|
|
|
|
|
as well. (It is a TODO to try to remove this restriction in the
|
|
|
|
|
future.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also link tcmalloc code in statically -- see the example
|
|
|
|
|
project tcmalloc_minimal_unittest-static, which does this. For this
|
|
|
|
|
to work, you'll need to add "/D PERFTOOLS_DLL_DECL=" to the compile
|
|
|
|
|
line of every perftools .cc file. For reasons I don't fully
|
|
|
|
|
understand yet, you still need to use the "DLL" CRT library even when
|
|
|
|
|
statically linking. Again, you can look at the
|
|
|
|
|
tcmalloc_minimal_unittest-static project, which does this.

I have little experience with Windows programming, so there may be
|
|
|
|
|
better ways to set this up than I've done! If you run across any
|
|
|
|
|
problems, please post to the google-perftools Google Group, or report
|
|
|
|
|
them on the google-perftools Google Code site:
