There are 4 functions which you need to implement on your system:
int liballoc_lock();
int liballoc_unlock();
void* liballoc_alloc(int);
int liballoc_free(void*,int);
1) Have a look at liballoc.h for information about what each function is
supposed to do.
2) Have a look at linux.c for an example of how to implement the library
on linux.
NOTE: There are two ways to build the library.
1) Compile the library with a new system file. For example, I've
left linux.c with the default distribution. It gets compiled
directly into the liballoc_linux.so file.
2) Implement the functions in your application and then just
link against the default liballoc.so library when you compile
your app.
QUICK START
-------------
You can simply type: "make linux" to build the linux shared
library. Thereafter, you can link it directly into your applications
during build or afterwards by export the LD_PRELOAD environment
variable.
To run bash with the library, for example:
LD_PRELOAD=/full/path/to/liballoc.so bash
The above command will pre-link the library into the application,
essentially replacing the default malloc/free calls at runtime. It's
quite cool.
