It's definately interesting, but doubtful will ever be imported to
replace libc's malloc for one reason.. the CDDL is effectively the
GPL:
3.1. Availability of Source Code.
Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make available in
Executable form must also be made available
in Source Code form and that Source Code form must be distributed only
under the terms of this License. You must
include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code form of
the Covered Software You distribute or
otherwise make available. You must inform recipients of any such Covered
Software in Executable form as to how they
can obtain such Covered Software in Source Code form in a reasonable manner
on or through a medium customarily used
for software exchange.
(why sun decided that the .txt version of the license should have a
column length >80 is beyond me)
That's why I started work on rewriting a allocated based upon the
paper so that it'd have a BSD license... I haven't worked on it much,
and now that jemalloc is here, who knows...
