18 /* This header serves for 3 purposes:
19  1. Declaring standard memory allocation rourines in OS-independent way.
20  2. Passing source location info through memory allocation wrappers.
21  3. Enabling native memory debugging capabilities.
22 
23  1. Declaring standard memory allocation rourines in OS-independent way.
24  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
25  On Linux* OS, alloca() function is declared in <alloca.h> header, while on
26  Windows* OS there is no <alloca.h> header, function _alloca() (note
27  underscore!) is declared in <malloc.h>. This header eliminates these
28  differences, so client code incluiding "kmp_wrapper_malloc.h" can rely on
29  following routines:
30 
31  malloc
32  calloc
33  realloc
34  free
35  alloca
36 
37  in OS-independent way. It also enables memory tracking capabilities in debug
38  build. (Currently it is available only on Windows* OS.)
39 
40  2. Passing source location info through memory allocation wrappers.
41  -------------------------------------------------------------------
42  Some tools may help debugging memory errors, for example, report memory
43  leaks. However, memory allocation wrappers may hinder source location.
44  For example:
45 
46  void * aligned_malloc( int size ) {
47  void * ptr = malloc( size ); // All the memory leaks will be reported at
48  // this line.
49  // some adjustments...
50  return ptr;
51  };
52 
53  ptr = aligned_malloc( size ); // Memory leak will *not* be detected here. :-(
54 
55  To overcome the problem, information about original source location should
56  be passed through all the memory allocation wrappers, for example:
57 
58  void * aligned_malloc( int size, char const * file, int line ) {
59  void * ptr = _malloc_dbg( size, file, line );
60  // some adjustments...
61  return ptr;
62  };
63  void * ptr = aligned_malloc( size, __FILE__, __LINE__ );
64 
65  This is a good idea for debug, but passing additional arguments impacts
66  performance. Disabling extra arguments in release version of the software
67  introduces too many conditional compilation, which makes code unreadable.
68  This header defines few macros and functions facilitating it:
69 
70  void * _aligned_malloc( int size KMP_SRC_LOC_DECL ) {
71  void * ptr = malloc_src_loc( size KMP_SRC_LOC_PARM );
72  // some adjustments...
73  return ptr;
74  };
75  #define aligned_malloc( size ) _aligned_malloc( (size) KMP_SRC_LOC_CURR )
76  // Use macro instead of direct call to function.
77 
78  void * ptr = aligned_malloc( size ); // Bingo! Memory leak will be
79  // reported at this line.
80 
81  3. Enabling native memory debugging capabilities.
82  -------------------------------------------------
83  Some platforms may offer memory debugging capabilities. For example, debug
84  version of Microsoft RTL tracks all memory allocations and can report memory
85  leaks. This header enables this, and makes report more useful (see "Passing
86  source location info through memory allocation wrappers").
