faster malloc

[revelator]

utility library thats seen used in more and more engines nowadays.

look up my ftp ip in general in the mingw compiler thread and grab this nedmalloc.7z if you want to try it out.

upto 125% faster than msvc malloc.

uses the same methods as dlmalloc.

to use in your own engine add nedmalloc.h at the start of quakedef.h

then add this to the compiler defines REPLACE_SYSTEM_ALLOCATOR

and add nedmalloc.lib to libraries.

Ehh, include files shouldn't include other include files. It creates a dependency hell situation, and can make the c preprocessor take longer than necessary, as it would process the same header more than needed.

My 2 cents about that.

[revelator]

actually for most purposes and intents thats what headers do "besides holding structs etc"

if the idea disgust you that much you can also include the nedmalloc.h header in any file that uses a malloc function but as you might soon discover that includes allmost 90% of the engine

quakedef.h is included by pretty much all the files in quake so if you put it there it will be globally accessible sort of a win-win situation.

btw the normal way of including nedmalloc is by including its source in whatever project you want to use it on. i just made it a library for convinience.

That's what I'm doing with my engine right now, I'm fixing all of the included include files... It's PITA.

Well best of luck with GNU stdlib.h then!

Gahhh, don't remind me..

I may use lunix (I use windows 7 too), but that doesn't mean I like the crap gnu pushes out, or lunix for that matter..
