Eric Andersen | 5360182 | 2002-12-05 21:12:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 18 | There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations: |
| 19 | - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc. |
| 20 | - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack |
| 21 | space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine. |
| 22 | - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real |
| 23 | MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This |
| 24 | behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and |
| 25 | earlier. |

| 342 | Say Y here if you wish to compile BusyBox with debugging symbols. |
| 343 | This will allow you to use a debugger to examine BusyBox internals |
Eric Andersen | c7bda1c | 2004-03-15 08:29:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 344 | while applets are running. This increases the size of the binary |
Eric Andersen | c9f20d9 | 2002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 345 | considerably and should only be used when doing development. |

Eric Andersen | f086ed8 | 2004-05-25 11:30:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 355 | Using an additional debugging library will make BusyBox become |
| 356 | considerable larger and will cause it to run more slowly. You |
| 357 | should always leave this option disabled for production use. |

| 359 | dmalloc support: |
| 360 | ---------------- |
Eric Andersen | c9f20d9 | 2002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 361 | This enables compiling with dmalloc ( http://dmalloc.com/ ) |
| 362 | which is an excellent public domain mem leak and malloc problem |
| 363 | detector. To enable dmalloc, before running busybox you will |
| 364 | want to properly set your environment, for example: |
| 365 | export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile |
| 366 | The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command |
| 367 | dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space -p log-elapsed-time \ |
| 368 | -p check-fence -p check-heap -p check-lists -p check-blank \ |
| 369 | -p check-funcs -p realloc-copy -p allow-free-null |

Eric Andersen | c9f20d9 | 2002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 373 | This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric |
Eric Andersen | 88c916b | 2003-10-22 09:58:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 374 | fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses |
Eric Andersen | c7bda1c | 2004-03-15 08:29:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 375 | your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory |
| 376 | accesses. This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger |
| 377 | and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless |
Eric Andersen | c9f20d9 | 2002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 378 | you are hunting a hard to find memory problem. |
