Subject: [9fans] Sam arena allocators
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2021 22:18:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <A8574A32-41AB-4E08-8E0A-5125B948C9F6@hotmail.co.uk> (raw)

Hi,

Recently discovered a blog post[1] stating Sam used to have arena
based allocators.

Having difficulty finding more about this - does anyone know what the
allocator looked like and why the source returned to using the
standard allocators.

Silas
