Description Mark Lam 2016-12-07 16:21:32 PST
1. WebKitTestRunner does not have equivalent behavior to that which is implemented in CheckedMalloc.
2. bmalloc does not honor the settings of CheckedMalloc.

The only time CheckedMalloc comes into play is when DRT uses gmalloc or system malloc.  As a result, DRT exhibits different behavior from the normal way we run our tests.  We should obsolete CheckedMalloc and make DRT behave consistently with WKTR.

For reference, this code was added in bug 7655 to silence noise in the logs. We eitehr no longer have such tests, or don't care about the noise as much as before.
