This will cause a number of special checks to be 30performed when Berkeley DB is running. This flag should not be defined when 31configuring to build production binaries because it degrades performance.</ul> 32<b><a href="../../ref/build_unix/conf.html#--enable-umrw">--enable-umrw</a></b><ul compact><li>When compiling Berkeley DB for use in run-time memory consistency checkers 33(in particular, programs that look for reads and writes of uninitialized 34memory), use --enable-umrw as an argument to configure.
