<div dir="ltr">Haskell doesn't use `glibc` (or any other libc) `malloc`,it uses its own heap which is managed separately. Even Haskell's `malloc` (used with FFI) uses Haskell's heap; it allocates a "pinned" block that can't be moved but can still be garbage collected. Any fragmentation issues would need to be fixed in the garbage collector.<div><br></div><div>Donations are via the Open Software Collective, <a href="https://opencollective.com/xmonad">https://opencollective.com/xmonad</a></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Feb 18, 2025 at 3:49 PM <<a href="mailto:amd.mobile@virgilio.it">amd.mobile@virgilio.it</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
