+/* Memento: A library to aid debugging of memory leaks/heap corruption.
+ *
+ * Usage (with C):
+ * First, build your project with MEMENTO defined, and include this
+ * header file wherever you use malloc, realloc or free.
+ * This header file will use macros to point malloc, realloc and free to
+ * point to Memento_malloc, Memento_realloc, Memento_free.
+ *
+ * Run your program, and all mallocs/frees/reallocs should be redirected
+ * through here. When the program exits, you will get a list of all the
+ * leaked blocks, together with some helpful statistics. You can get the
+ * same list of allocated blocks at any point during program execution by
+ * calling Memento_listBlocks();
+ *
+ * Every call to malloc/free/realloc counts as an 'allocation event'.
+ * On each event Memento increments a counter. Every block is tagged with
+ * the current counter on allocation. Every so often during program
+ * execution, the heap is checked for consistency. By default this happens
+ * after 1024 events, then after 2048 events, then after 4096 events, etc.
+ * This can be changed at runtime by using Memento_setParanoia(int level).
+ * 0 turns off such checking, 1 sets checking to happen on every event,
+ * any positive number n sets checking to happen once every n events,
+ * and any negative number n sets checking to happen after -n events, then
+ * after -2n events etc.
+ *
+ * The default paranoia level is therefore -1024.
+ *
+ * Memento keeps blocks around for a while after they have been freed, and
+ * checks them as part of these heap checks to see if they have been
+ * written to (or are freed twice etc).
+ *
+ * A given heap block can be checked for consistency (it's 'pre' and
+ * 'post' guard blocks are checked to see if they have been written to)
+ * by calling Memento_checkBlock(void *blockAddress);
+ *
+ * A check of all the memory can be triggered by calling Memento_check();
+ * (or Memento_checkAllMemory(); if you'd like it to be quieter).
+ *
+ * A good place to breakpoint is Memento_breakpoint, as this will then
+ * trigger your debugger if an error is detected. This is done
+ * automatically for debug windows builds.
+ *
+ * If a block is found to be corrupt, information will be printed to the
+ * console, including the address of the block, the size of the block,
+ * the type of corruption, the number of the block and the event on which
+ * it last passed a check for correctness.
+ *
+ * If you rerun, and call Memento_paranoidAt(int event); with this number
+ * the code will wait until it reaches that event and then start
+ * checking the heap after every allocation event. Assuming it is a
+ * deterministic failure, you should then find out where in your program
+ * the error is occurring (between event x-1 and event x).
+ *
+ * Then you can rerun the program again, and call
+ * Memento_breakAt(int event); and the program will call
+ * Memento_Breakpoint() when event x is reached, enabling you to step
+ * through.
+ *
+ * Memento_find(address) will tell you what block (if any) the given
+ * address is in.
+ *
+ * An example:
+ * Suppose we have a gs invocation that crashes with memory corruption.
+ * * Build with -DMEMENTO.
+ * * In your debugger put a breakpoint on Memento_breakpoint.
+ * * Run the program. It will stop in Memento_inited.
+ * * Execute Memento_setParanoia(1); (In VS use Ctrl-Alt-Q). (Note #1)
+ * * Continue execution.
+ * * It will detect the memory corruption on the next allocation event
+ * after it happens, and stop in Memento_breakpoint. The console should
+ * show something like:
+ *
+ * Freed blocks:
+ * 0x172e610(size=288,num=1415) index 256 (0x172e710) onwards corrupted
+ * Block last checked OK at allocation 1457. Now 1458.
+ *
+ * * This means that the block became corrupted between allocation 1457
+ * and 1458 - so if we rerun and stop the program at 1457, we can then
+ * step through, possibly with a data breakpoint at 0x172e710 and see
+ * when it occurs.
+ * * So restart the program from the beginning. When we stop after
+ * initialisation execute Memento_breakAt(1457); (and maybe
+ * Memento_setParanoia(1), or Memento_setParanoidAt(1457))
+ * * Continue execution until we hit Memento_breakpoint.
+ * * Now you can step through and watch the memory corruption happen.
+ *
+ * Note #1: Using Memento_setParanoia(1) can cause your program to run
+ * very slowly. You may instead choose to use Memento_setParanoia(100)
+ * (or some other figure). This will only exhaustively check memory on
+ * every 100th allocation event. This trades speed for the size of the
+ * average allocation event range in which detection of memory corruption
+ * occurs. You may (for example) choose to run once checking every 100
+ * allocations and discover that the corruption happens between events
+ * X and X+100. You can then rerun using Memento_paranoidAt(X), and
+ * it'll only start exhaustively checking when it reaches X.
+ *
+ * More than one memory allocator?
+ *
+ * If you have more than one memory allocator in the system (like for
+ * instance the ghostscript chunk allocator, that builds on top of the
+ * standard malloc and returns chunks itself), then there are some things
+ * to note:
+ *
+ * * If the secondary allocator gets its underlying blocks from calling
+ * malloc, then those will be checked by Memento, but 'subblocks' that
+ * are returned to the secondary allocator will not. There is currently
+ * no way to fix this other than trying to bypass the secondary
+ * allocator. One way I have found to do this with the chunk allocator
+ * is to tweak its idea of a 'large block' so that it puts every
+ * allocation in its own chunk. Clearly this negates the point of having
+ * a secondary allocator, and is therefore not recommended for general
+ * use.
+ *
+ * * Again, if the secondary allocator gets its underlying blocks from
+ * calling malloc (and hence Memento) leak detection should still work
+ * (but whole blocks will be detected rather than subblocks).
+ *
+ * * If on every allocation attempt the secondary allocator calls into
+ * Memento_failThisEvent(), and fails the allocation if it returns true
+ * then more useful features can be used; firstly memory squeezing will
+ * work, and secondly, Memento will have a "finer grained" paranoia
+ * available to it.
+ *
+ * Usage with C++:
+ *
+ * Memento has some experimental code in it to trap new/delete (and
+ * new[]/delete[] if required) calls.
+ *
+ * In order for this to work, either:
+ *
+ * 1) Build memento.c with the c++ compiler.
+ *
+ * or
+ *
+ * 2) Build memento.c as normal with the C compiler, then from any
+ * one of your .cpp files, do:
+ *
+ * #define MEMENTO_CPP_EXTRAS_ONLY
+ * #include "memento.c"
+ *
+ * In the case where MEMENTO is not defined, this will not do anything.
+ *
+ * Both Windows and GCC provide separate new[] and delete[] operators
+ * for arrays. Apparently some systems do not. If this is the case for
+ * your system, define MEMENTO_CPP_NO_ARRAY_CONSTRUCTORS.
+ *
+ * "libbacktrace.so failed to load"
+ *
+ * In order to give nice backtraces on unix, Memento will try to use
+ * a libbacktrace dynamic library. If it can't find it, you'll see
+ * that warning, and your backtraces won't include file/line information.
+ *
+ * To fix this you'll need to build your own libbacktrace. Don't worry
+ * it's really easy:
+ * git clone git://github.com/ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace
+ * cd libbacktrace
+ * ./configure
+ * make
+ *
+ * This leaves the build .so as .libs/libbacktrace.so
+ *
+ * Memento will look for this on LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or in /opt/lib/,
+ * or in /lib/, or in /usr/lib/, or in /usr/local/lib/. I recommend
+ * using /opt/lib/ as this won't conflict with anything that you
+ * get via a package manager like apt.
+ *
+ * sudo mkdir /opt
+ * sudo mkdir /opt/lib
+ * sudo cp .libs/libbacktrace.so /opt/lib/
