SV: WinHeap

[erik@... (Erik Hougaard)]

The main reason for my interest, is the fact that it directly aimed at
multithreaded/Multi CPU Win32 applications. Must of the free software heap
managers are not finetuned for Win32 multithreaded applications.

But this should turn into a proprietary vs. open source discusion. I'm
developing commercial software and if I can buy something that makes me earn
a bigger paycheck - I will go for that (Need to eat and make
house-payments)! And my customers wants Win32 applications so thats what I'm
developing - So please drop the political attitude - I'm looking for
technical information!

Sorry, but that site was a waste of time to me. There are tons of other
"heap managers" -read malloc() implementations- out there, many of them
free software, and most of them better than those of Microsoft.
It's one of the reasons non-MS OSes usually run faster. I'll take
amply-tested open software solutions, like Lua or a GNU malloc, over
some obscure proprietary product with rather absurd claims.
