When building with MOZ_CRT (which is more or less the default when building on Windows with MSVC2013), building e.g. XPCOM components requires linking against mozcrt.lib, so it needs to be shipped in the SDK. On the other hand, mozglue.lib, which is currently shipped, is not useful because it lacks the necessary hacks from mozcrt.lib avoiding crashes for memory allocator mismatch.

#
|
|
# Linking Mozilla itself to jemalloc is not particularly difficult. To do this
|
|
# we avoid linking directly to the Microsoft-provided CRT import libraries.
|
|
# Instead, we link to our own import library which we generate here. To
|
|
# replace the CRT's malloc/free/other memory management symbols we export
|
|
# our own versions out of jemalloc.dll. We then take the import library that
|
|
# the compiler generates for jemalloc.dll and combine it with the MS CRT import
|
|
# libraries. We put our library on the command line first, and the CRT symbols
|
|
# are discarded in favor of our versions!
|
|
#
|
|
# Unfortunately that was too easy. The CRT import library is not a standard
|
|
# import library that contains a list of symbols and whatnot. It also includes
|
|
# object files that are linked into generated programs. One of these,
|
|
# crtdll.obj is (as one might expect) linked into all DLLs that link against
|
|
# the CRT. This file does things like run static C++ constructors when the
|
|
# DLL is attached, call DllMain, etc.
|
|
#
|
|
# In the CRT source all malloc/free calls are made to malloc_crt and free_crt.
|
|
# In debug builds these are both defined to malloc_dbg and free_dbg. In opt
|
|
# builds malloc_crt is an actual function, implemented and exposed from the
|
|
# CRT. free_crt is, however, defined to be just plain old free. This works
|
|
# fine inside the CRT where malloc_crt and free operate on the same heap.
|
|
# Outside the CRT malloc_crt is in the CRT's heap, but free is in jemalloc's
|
|
# heap. This causes much pain at shutdown :-(
|
|
#
|
|
# The obvious solution here is to override malloc_crt too. Unfortunately,
|
|
# that doesn't work because the CRT expects to be able to call msize on this
|
|
# piece of memory deep inside the CRT, which will fail because it'll call the
|
|
# CRT's msize on a pointer in jemalloc's heap.
|
|
#
|
|
# Our solution to this is quite devious. We take apart the CRT's import lib
|
|
# and remove the problematic object file. We then poke at the object file's
|
|
# symbol table and replace '__imp__free' (which means grab free from some
|
|
# other DLL) with '__imp__frex'. Then we define our own dummy no-op function
|
|
# in jemalloc.dll and export it as frex. Then we put the CRT import lib
|
|
# back together with the patched crtdll.obj, glue it to the end of jemalloc's
|
|
# import library and link the rest of Mozilla to that.
|
|
#
|
|
# The result? A binary that uses jemalloc, doesn't crash, and leaks a tiny
|
|
# amount of memory (32 words per DLL in the 2010 CRT) at shutdown.
