Product:Mac OS X Product Version:10.9.0 13A603
Classification:Other Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Under all previous OS releases, source for the malloc implementation was released. Traditionally, it had been part of Libc.

https://www.opensource.apple.com/source/Libc/Libc-825.40.1/gen/malloc.c (10.8.5)

As of 10.9 (“Mavericks”), malloc has been broken out from /usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib into its own library, /usr/lib/system/libsystem_malloc.dylib. malloc source is now absent from the Libc package.

https://www.opensource.apple.com/source/Libc/Libc-997.1.1/ (10.9.0)

Please release the source code for malloc.

Notes:
Regression: malloc source was formerly available
