There was never any investigation done to determine whether using
jemalloc was actually a net benefit for nvim. It has been a portability
limitation and adds another factor to consider when triaging issues.
The main purpose of this build-type was to avoid unwanted ~/.nvimlog
files (which could get really big, and also affects performance) for
non-devs. But that is no longer necessary since the log system now
avoids non-critical logging by default (#6827).
This essentially reverts 87e5a41316
- Establish ERROR log level as "critical". Such errors are rare and will
be valuable when users encounter unusual circumstances.
- Set -DMIN_LOG_LEVEL=3 for release-type builds
We use a Makefile which in turn uses cmake. If we wanted to set the install
prefix for cmake, we had to do this so far:
make CMAKE_FLAGS="-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/nvim"
That's long and hard to remember. Following the conventions of other Makefiles,
this now works as well and is equivalent:
make PREFIX=/tmp/nvim
- Check if MIN_LOG_LEVEL value is a number 0-3, default to
INFO (1) or ignore it in Release mode
- When TRAVIS_CI_BUILD is ON the default is DEBUG (0)
- Add local.mk.example
Introduce new build type Dev that replaces RelWithDebInfo for development
builds off master and has optimizations, debug info, and logging enabled.
Keep assertions enabled for RelWithDebInfo.
