Name        : google-perftools
Product     : Fedora 9
Version     : 0.98
Release     : 1.fc9
URL         : http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/
Summary     : Very fast malloc and performance analysis tools
Description :
Perf Tools is a collection of performance analysis tools, including a
high-performance multi-threaded malloc() implementation that works
particularly well with threads and STL, a thread-friendly heap-checker,
a heap profiler, and a cpu-profiler.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

* Add ProfilerStartWithOptions() (cgd)  * Change tcmalloc_minimal to not do any
stack-tracing at all (csilvers)  * Prefer mmap to sbrk for 64-buit debug mode
(sanjay)  * Fix accounting for some tcmalloc stats (sanjay)  * Use setrlimit()
to keep unittests from killing the machine (odo)  * Fix a bug when sbrk-ing near
address 4G (csilvers)  * Make MallocHook thread-safe (jyasskin)  * Fix CPU-
profiler docs to mention correct libs (csilvers)  * Fix for GetHeapProfile()
when heap-profiling is off (maxim)  * Avoid realloc resizing ping-pongs using
hysteresis (csilvers)  * Add --callgrind output support to pprof (klimek)  * Fix
profiler.h and heap-profiler.h to be C-compatible (csilvers)  * Break
malloc_hook.h into two parts to reduce dependencies (csilvers)  * Better handle
systems that don't implement mmap (csilvers)  * Refactor GetHeapProfile to avoid
using malloc (maxim)  * Fix heap-checker and heap-profiler hook interactions
(maxim)  * Fix a data race in MemoryRegionMap::Lock (jyasskin)  * Improve
thread-safety of leak checker (maxim)  * Fix mmap profile to no longer deadlock
(maxim)  * major atomicops rewrite; fixed atomic ops code for linux/ppc (vchen)
* nix the stacktrace library; now build structure is simpler (csilvers)  * Speed
up heap-checker, and reduce extraneous logging (maxim)  * Improve itimer code
for NPTL case (cgd)  * Add source code annotations for use by valgrind, etc
(kcc)
