I'd like to get rid of all the memory profiling and debugging stuff
in GLib:
- It's a source of confusion and bug reports (from the way that
it doesn't free memory, etc.)
- Its far less good than possible replacements in terms of
ease-of-use and power.
- You can replace it using either LD_PRELOAD without any recompilation,
or using the new GLib malloc vtable stuff.
It just doesn't make sense for us to try and support and enhance such
a crude facility when it doesn't need to be in GLib.
Regards,
Owen
