Hi folks,
I made a little test program to se what dump_memory_stats would look
like. Nothing happened, and I saw that GCRYCTL_DUMP_MEMORY_STATS is a
no-op right now:
$ grep -n -A2 GCRYCTL_DUMP_MEMORY_STATS `find . -name *.c`
./src/global.c:361: case GCRYCTL_DUMP_MEMORY_STATS:
./src/global.c-362- /*m_print_stats("[fixme: prefix]");*/
./src/global.c-363- break;
I can't find the function m_print_stats() anywhere either.
Laters,
