Does it work to use the equivalent of math_opt_barrier from <math_private.h>?

Yes, that it should work, too.

Yes, the following works as well.


What's the best place to put this barrier in? Put it into include/malloc.h?

Which is the better way? A barrier like below or setting -fno-builtin-malloc?
