Hi all, There’s some discussion in GLib about dropping GSlice and adding a new ‘generic allocator’ interface to replace it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/1815 We’re pretty convinced we’re going to drop GSlice. Less convinced about the need for a generic allocator interface. There were some thoughts that such an interface would be useful for bindings, so they could integrate their language runtime allocator with the allocations done by native C libraries which use GLib. There were also some thoughts about such an interface allowing profiling of allocations for various purposes (garbage collection, for example). How useful would this be? If you haven’t done so already, please read and comment on the issue above. Thanks, Philip
