Well as I see it EP memory is not a problem we only use one chunk (10M) During the life time of a packet so memory efficency isn't a big issue. But when dealing with large files waisting +30% of the memory is not an option I think. A way to still test se_alloc() could be to let the buildbot doing fuzz test use canaries forinstance. I don't see that a new allocator would solve the problem, when to use it?
We could add a preference item which lets the user disable SE canaries. Maybe a slider with "fast" on one end and "safe" on the other, just to let them know what they're getting into. :) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
