10 // The replace_malloc facility allows an external library to replace or
11 // supplement the jemalloc implementation.
12 //
13 // The external library may be hooked by setting one of the following
14 // environment variables to the library path:
15 //   - LD_PRELOAD on Linux,
16 //   - DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES on OSX,
17 //   - MOZ_REPLACE_MALLOC_LIB on Windows and Android.
18 //
19 // An initialization function is called before any malloc replacement
20 // function, and has the following declaration:
21 //
22 //   void replace_init(malloc_table_t*, ReplaceMallocBridge**)
23 //
24 // The malloc_table_t pointer given to that function is a table containing
25 // pointers to the original allocator implementation, so that replacement
26 // functions can call them back if they need to. The initialization function
27 // needs to alter that table to replace the function it wants to replace.
28 // If it needs the original implementation, it thus needs a copy of the
29 // original table.
30 //
31 // The ReplaceMallocBridge* pointer is an outparam that allows the
32 // replace_init function to return a pointer to its ReplaceMallocBridge
33 // (see replace_malloc_bridge.h).
34 //
35 // The functions to be implemented in the external library are of the form:
36 //
37 //   void* replace_malloc(size_t size)
38 //   {
39 //     // Fiddle with the size if necessary.
40 //     // orig->malloc doesn't have to be called if the external library
41 //     // provides its own allocator, but in this case it will have to
42 //     // implement all functions.
43 //     void *ptr = orig->malloc(size);
44 //     // Do whatever you want with the ptr.
45 //     return ptr;
46 //   }
47 //
48 // where "orig" is a pointer to a copy of the table replace_init got.
49 //
50 // See malloc_decls.h for a list of functions that can be replaced this
51 // way. The implementations are all in the form:
52 //   return_type replace_name(arguments [,...])
53 //
54 // They don't all need to be provided.
55 //
56 // Building a replace-malloc library is like rocket science. It can end up
57 // with things blowing up, especially when trying to use complex types, and
58 // even more especially when these types come from XPCOM or other parts of the
59 // Mozilla codebase.
60 // It is recommended to add the following to a replace-malloc implementation's
61 // moz.build:
62 //   DISABLE_STL_WRAPPING = True # Avoid STL wrapping
63 //
64 // If your replace-malloc implementation lives under memory/replace, these
65 // are taken care of by memory/replace/defs.mk.
