gperfools - inclusion of a patch until upstream fixes it

[natale-p]

Hello,

with Monterey, tcmalloc (provided in the gperftool package) stopped working. The relevant link is gperftools/gperftools#1312, in which a simple program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    void *ptr = malloc(128);
    printf("malloc(128) returned %p\n",ptr);
    free(ptr);
    return 0;
}

Segfault when linked against tcmalloc (in the formula of gperftool, it is a similar program, except it uses tc_* versions of malloc and free, which never fails). The patch is provided here gperftools/gperftools#1315.

Can we please have this patch in the formula until upstream releases a new version? (it seems the project is dead, the maintainer is not answering nor reviewing PRs).
Thank you!

Thanks for the report. I've opened Homebrew/homebrew-core#89637. Next time, please open a pull request directly.
