https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252858 Bug ID: 252858 Summary: calloc manual page has become useless Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: benkasminbullock@gmail.com CC: doc@FreeBSD.org The manual page for calloc and friends spends lots of time blathering on about how great jemalloc is and very little time actually documenting what calloc does. For example, it does not actually say what the return value of calloc might be if given arguments of zero. The old manual pages for calloc and malloc on FreeBSD were quite good, yet they have been replaced with the Jason Evans advertising in the guise of a manual page. Please either make Jason Evans at least document what calloc does or replace the current jemalloc drivel with the proper documentation that used to exist. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.home | help
