#ifndef replace_malloc_h
#define replace_malloc_h
// The replace_malloc facility allows an external library to replace or
// supplement the jemalloc implementation.
//
// The external library may be hooked by setting one of the following
// environment variables to the library path:
// - LD_PRELOAD on Linux,
// - DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES on OSX,
// - MOZ_REPLACE_MALLOC_LIB on Windows and Android.
//
// An initialization function is called before any malloc replacement
// function, and has the following declaration:
//
// void replace_init(const malloc_table_t *)
//
// The const malloc_table_t pointer given to that function is a table
// containing pointers to the original jemalloc implementation, so that
// replacement functions can call them back if they need to. The pointer
// itself can safely be kept around (no need to copy the table itself).
//
// The functions to be implemented in the external library are of the form:
//
// void *replace_malloc(size_t size)
// {
// // Fiddle with the size if necessary.
// // orig->malloc doesn't have to be called if the external library
// // provides its own allocator, but in this case it will have to
// // implement all functions.
// void *ptr = orig->malloc(size);
// // Do whatever you want with the ptr.
// return ptr;
// }
//
// where "orig" is the pointer obtained from replace_init.
//
// See malloc_decls.h for a list of functions that can be replaced this
// way. The implementations are all in the form:
// return_type replace_name(arguments [,...])
//
// They don't all need to be provided.
//
// Building a replace-malloc library is like rocket science. It can end up
// with things blowing up, especially when trying to use complex types, and
// even more especially when these types come from XPCOM or other parts of the
// Mozilla codebase.
// It is recommended to add the following to a replace-malloc implementation's
// moz.build:
// DISABLE_STL_WRAPPING = True # Avoid STL wrapping
//
// If your replace-malloc implementation lives under memory/replace, these
// are taken care of by memory/replace/defs.mk.
