Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: describe XMALLOC_POISON
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2016 22:56:44 +0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1452704204-1928-1-git-send-email-kuleshovmail@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1452686255-8757-1-git-send-email-kuleshovmail@gmail.com>
The do_xmalloc() functions may fill an allocated buffer with the
known value (0xA5) for debugging if we will pass the XMALLOC_POISON
option during build.
This patch adds description of this option to the Makefile and
adds it to BASIC_CFLAGS if it was provided.
