The newer API (Windows 10 and newer) allows the allocator to ask for
strongly aligned memory.
This is enabled only if the `WINVER` macro is set to target Windows 10
or newer. There is now a CMake option to target older versions of
Windows, so we can test both code paths.
The Azure Pipelines config now includes a test of the compatibility
version. This runs only the release build, because it's mainly there as
a sanity check - 99% of the code is the same as the default Windows
config.
Only the malloc/free/... interface is exported.
This allows all of C++'s weak ODR symbols to be resolved at
compile-time, rather than staying weak and resolved at load-time.
Since internal calls don't need to go through the PLT anymore, we get a
nice speedup, at least on small objects.
RTTI makes the binaries bigger, exceptions make life harder for
optimisers. Neither are actually used.
This doesn't preclude anything #including snmalloc.h with RTTI enabled,
it just disables it in the shim libraries and tests.
The FreeBSD libc builds were already doing this with no ill effect.
The encoding in the top bits for the size class did not respect kernel
pointers. Using an intptr_t means, we can use a signed shift to
maintain the kernel pointers.
