# TCMalloc

This repository contains the TCMalloc C++ code.

TCMalloc is Google's customized implementation of C's `malloc()` and C++'s
`operator new` used for memory allocation within our C and C++ code. TCMalloc is
a fast, multi-threaded malloc implementation.

## Building TCMalloc

[Bazel](https://bazel.build) is the official build system for TCMalloc.

The [TCMalloc Platforms Guide](platforms.md) contains information on platform
support for TCMalloc.

## Documentation

All users of TCMalloc should consult the following documentation resources:

* The [TCMalloc Overview](overview.md) covers the basic architecture of
  TCMalloc, and how that may affect configuration choices.
* The [TCMalloc Reference](reference.md) covers the C and C++ TCMalloc API
  endpoints.

More advanced usages of TCMalloc may find the following documentation useful:

* The [TCMalloc Tuning Guide](tuning.md) covers the configuration choices in
  more depth, and also illustrates other ways to customize TCMalloc.
* The [TCMalloc Design Doc](design.md) covers how TCMalloc works underneath the
  hood, and why certain design choices were made. Most developers
  will not need this level of implementation detail.
