Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000054 There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
55 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
56 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +000057 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000058 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
59 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
60 behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
61 earlier.

605 -----------------------
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000606 This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric
Eric Andersen88c916b2003-10-22 09:58:56 +0000607 fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
Eric Andersenc7bda1c2004-03-15 08:29:22 +0000608 your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000609 accesses. This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger
Eric Andersenc7bda1c2004-03-15 08:29:22 +0000610 and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless
Eric Andersenc9f20d92002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000611 you are hunting a hard to find memory problem.
