From allbery.b at gmail.com Tue Feb 18 20:57:46 2025 From: allbery.b at gmail.com (Brandon Allbery) Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2025 15:57:46 -0500 Subject: [xmonad] Just a quesion about an old glibc issue In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: 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.
