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.

617 The compiler's optimization of source code can eliminate and reorder
618 code, resulting in an executable that's hard to understand when
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000619 stepping through it with a debugger. This switches it off, resulting
Denis Vlasenkobd8390a2008-06-12 20:23:03 +0000620 in a much bigger executable that more closely matches the source
621 code.

Eric Andersenf086ed82004-05-25 11:30:22 +0000635 Using an additional debugging library will make BusyBox become
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000636 considerable larger and will cause it to run more slowly. You

639 dmalloc support:
640 ----------------
Eric Andersenc9f20d92002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000641 This enables compiling with dmalloc ( http://dmalloc.com/ )
642 which is an excellent public domain mem leak and malloc problem
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000643 detector. To enable dmalloc, before running busybox you will
Eric Andersenc9f20d92002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000644 want to properly set your environment, for example:
645 export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile
646 The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000647 dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space \
648 -p log-elapsed-time -p check-fence -p check-heap \
649 -p check-lists -p check-blank -p check-funcs -p realloc-copy \

Eric Andersenf086ed82004-05-25 11:30:22 +0000652 Electric-fence support:
653 -----------------------
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000654 This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric
Eric Andersen88c916b2003-10-22 09:58:56 +0000655 fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
Eric Andersenc7bda1c2004-03-15 08:29:22 +0000656 your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000657 accesses. This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger
Eric Andersenc7bda1c2004-03-15 08:29:22 +0000658 and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless
Eric Andersenc9f20d92002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000659 you are hunting a hard to find memory problem.
