Enable jemalloc in rest of app
Table of contents
High-level Feature Goal
Reduce the amount of memory Songbird requires on Linux and Windows. Songbird currently only uses jemalloc for XULRunner-level allocations.
We should be able to cease shipping the Microsoft CRTs when this work is complete, as both XULRunner and Songbird will be using the custom Mozilla CRT or the application will be statically linked against the system CRTs (crashreporter.exe, updater.exe, etc.)
Engineering Assumptions
- This work has been costed on the basic assumption that switching to jemalloc in the core introduces no regressions, crashes, or other anomalies outside the scope of switching to the new allocator itself.
- After fixing bug 9519, the app will always be in a state where it can be built without jemalloc, so as to reduce risk and still allow Fugazi to ship without jemalloc if the above assumption is found to be incorrect.
