Hi @daanx, just a general question - why mimalloc doesn't provide overrides for malloc-like function on Windows when built as an object file.
Specifically, this code block:
#elif defined(_MSC_VER)
// cannot override malloc unless using a dll.
// we just override new/delete which does work in a static library.
#else
Could override publicly available functions from ucrt/corecrt_malloc.h
, like
_Check_return_ _Ret_maybenull_ _Post_writable_byte_size_(_Size)
_ACRTIMP _CRTALLOCATOR _CRT_JIT_INTRINSIC _CRTRESTRICT _CRT_HYBRIDPATCHABLE
void* __cdecl malloc(
_In_ _CRT_GUARDOVERFLOW size_t _Size
)
{
return mi_malloc(_Size);
}
Any caveats in such approach? It seems to work just fine in our scenario. (When we link mimalloc as an object file + using static CRT)
Thanks!
