Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000065 There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
66 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
67 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +000068 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000069 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
70 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
71 behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
72 earlier.

593 The compiler's optimization of source code can eliminate and reorder
594 code, resulting in an executable that's hard to understand when
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000595 stepping through it with a debugger. This switches it off, resulting
Denis Vlasenkobd8390a2008-06-12 20:23:03 +0000596 in a much bigger executable that more closely matches the source
597 code.

Eric Andersenf086ed82004-05-25 11:30:22 +0000611 Using an additional debugging library will make BusyBox become
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000612 considerable larger and will cause it to run more slowly. You
Eric Andersenf086ed82004-05-25 11:30:22 +0000613 should always leave this option disabled for production use.

615 dmalloc support:
616 ----------------
Eric Andersenc9f20d92002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000617 This enables compiling with dmalloc ( http://dmalloc.com/ )
618 which is an excellent public domain mem leak and malloc problem
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000619 detector. To enable dmalloc, before running busybox you will
Eric Andersenc9f20d92002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000620 want to properly set your environment, for example:
621 export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile
622 The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000623 dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space \
624 -p log-elapsed-time -p check-fence -p check-heap \
625 -p check-lists -p check-blank -p check-funcs -p realloc-copy \

Eric Andersenf086ed82004-05-25 11:30:22 +0000628 Electric-fence support:
629 -----------------------
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000630 This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric
Eric Andersen88c916b2003-10-22 09:58:56 +0000631 fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
Eric Andersenc7bda1c2004-03-15 08:29:22 +0000632 your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000633 accesses. This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger
Eric Andersenc7bda1c2004-03-15 08:29:22 +0000634 and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless
Eric Andersenc9f20d92002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000635 you are hunting a hard to find memory problem.
