![]() Previously, MemoryBlock automatically extends a requested buffer size to a multiple of page size because (I believe) doing it was thought to be harmless and with that you could get more memory (on average 2KiB on 4KiB-page systems) "for free". That programming interface turned out to be error-prone. If you request N bytes, you usually expect that a resulting object returns N for `size()`. That's not the case for MemoryBlock. Looks like there is only one place where we take the advantage of allocating more memory than the requested size. So, with this patch, I simply removed the automatic size expansion feature from MemoryBlock and do it on the caller side when needed. MemoryBlock now always returns a buffer whose size is equal to the requested size. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D56941 llvm-svn: 351916 |

llvm/lib/Support/Unix README =========================== This directory provides implementations of the lib/System classes that are common to two or more variants of UNIX. For example, the directory structure underneath this directory could look like this: Unix - only code that is truly generic to all UNIX platforms Posix - code that is specific to Posix variants of UNIX SUS - code that is specific to the Single Unix Specification SysV - code that is specific to System V variants of UNIX As a rule, only those directories actually needing to be created should be created. Also, further subdirectories could be created to reflect versions of the various standards. For example, under SUS there could be v1, v2, and v3 subdirectories to reflect the three major versions of SUS.
