commit abde9fb426c7d6d0dbdaccc724c3b4257d99ad30
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm(a)torproject.org>
Date: Wed Jul 11 09:28:23 2018 -0400
Add a --with-malloc option.
Based on a patch from Hello71 on ticket 20424.
This patch additionally fixes openbsd-malloc support, switches
our tcmalloc support to use pkgconfig, and tells the compiler to
omit system malloc implementations as appropriate.
squash! Add a --with-malloc option.
Edit changelog file to fix a typo and credit Alex Xu in preferred format.

+ o Minor features (compilation):
+ - Tor's configure script now supports a --with-malloc= option to select
+ your malloc implementation. Supported options are "tcmalloc",
+ "jemalloc", "openbsd", and "system" (the default). Addresses part of
+ ticket 20424. Based on a patch from Alex Xu.
