Subject: [PATCH] hl_mod: don't memoize highlight::codeGenerator objects
Date: Mon,  4 Oct 2021 06:10:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211004061021.5825-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)

Making them immortal doesn't seem worth it, since doing immortal
allocations after process startup leads to fragmentation.  While
the allocations made by highlight are small, those small
allocations can break up contiguous regions and prevent
consolidation by the malloc.

Since instantiating code generators doesn't seem too expensive,
just use and delete them ASAP.
