<p>Starting with gcc 3.3, if you want to globally disable memory
caching within the library for the default allocator (i.e.
the one you get for all library objects when you do not specify
- which one to use), merely set GLIBCPP_FORCE_NEW (at this time,
+ which one to use), merely set GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW (at this time,
with any value) into your environment before running the
program. You will obtain a similar effect without having to
recompile your entire program and the entire library (the new
operator in gcc is a light wrapper around malloc). If your
- program crashes with GLIBCPP_FORCE_NEW in the environment,
+ program crashes with GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW in the environment,
it likely means that you linked against objects built against
the older library. Code to support this extension is fully
- compatible with 3.2 code if GLIBCPP_FORCE_NEW is not in the
- environment.
