Summary
Added the
mimallocfeature flag to the Cairo test runner in the CI workflow to improve memory allocation performance.Type of change
Please check one:
Why is this change needed?
The Cairo test runner can benefit from using the mimalloc memory allocator, which generally provides better performance characteristics than the default system allocator. This change enables the mimalloc feature in CI, which should result in faster test execution and potentially reduced memory usage.
What was the behavior or documentation before?
Previously, the CI workflow was running Cairo tests without the mimalloc allocator:
What is the behavior or documentation after?
Now the CI workflow runs Cairo tests with the mimalloc allocator enabled:
Additional context
Mimalloc is a compact general purpose allocator with excellent performance characteristics. This change should help improve CI performance without affecting test behavior.
