Yeah, I discovered afterwards that tcmalloc injects itself and "infects" any
application that links to it, whether directly or indirectly. It suggests
somewhere in its instructions that you shouldn't link it to plugins, which makes
me wonder a bit if the leveldb used by QtWebEngine is linked to tcmalloc.
FWIW I had a deadlock in KDevelop on Linux too, yesterday. Sadly I didn't get to
verify if it was for the same reason as reported here on Mac. It it was then the
underlying cause is probably an oversight somewhere in my code (a class
reimplementing the basic QFile functionality to store key/value pairs in a
database rather than in individual files; it involves storing and retrieving byte
arrays via QByteArrays and std::strings).
