Hi, In r37027 I've commited basic slab allocator (based on macros from slab.h) It's NOT thread safe allocator, but it should be good replacement for g_mem_chunk_alloc_*(). It might be also used as replacement for g_slice_*() It has simillar function like g_mem_chunk to free all used memory (sl_free_all()). I wanted to cleanup code like: #if GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(2,10,0) ptr = g_slice_new(...); #else ptr = g_mem_chunk_alloc(...); #endif with single: ptr = sl_alloc(...); sl_ allocator already passed multiple fuzz testing so it should be stable. I know about near 1.6 release (and it looks like bigger change). And maybe in 1.[78] we finally drop older glib release which would remove all g_mem_chunk_alloc().
