 src/lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c lines 19-21 seem to be pointless, as the preprocessor would attempt to undefine an already undefined symbol, or simply skip the lines if the symbol was already defined. I note the lines in question were picked up by someone else in FreeBSD's code back in 2005, before the massive malloc rewrite. That's nine years it had been in THAT code before removal. I've emailed the original author to ask about it; his reply is below: From phk (phk@freebsd.org) :They used to control some very paranoid consistency check code that :was removed pretty early on, unfortunately, those three lines got :missed somehow. No doubt you may have had others noticing the same thing, so here's another to add to the pile. Thanks.      |
