Description: C malloc debug library
Provides routines that can be plugged in to replace malloc(),
realloc(), calloc(), and free().
.
If you're not debugging, and an allocation fails, FDA will call user
supplied callbacks to allow you to free up some memory or shut down
the program cleanly -- this means you don't have to check the
return values from malloc if you don't want to.
.
For debugging FDA provides a nice toolkit for validating pointers,
checking for leaks, gathering memory statistics, bounds checking and
other nice things. FDA uses shredding, prefix and postfix signatures,
and a liberal amount of predicate asserts.
