Hi, Do we still need Trace Malloc? I suspect it's barely used these days. For memory profiling, we have about:memory and DMD. For shutdown leak detection we have ASAN and Valgrind.
Trace Malloc is documented here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Debugging/Debugging_memory_leaks#Trace_Malloc Trace Malloc is enabled for all TBPL debug builds. I'm not sure why; I did a try run today where I disabled it and it was green. It's used to get stacks within the deadlock detector, but I'm not sure if that's necessary, and it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to replace if it is necessary. There's also Leaky, which is documented on the abovementioned wiki page. I think it works in tandem with Trace Malloc, and may be a candidate for removal as well. Thanks.
