/***
* @Nm Memory
* @Nd Smart memory management.
* @Dd January 9 2023
*
* .Nm
* is an API that allows for smart memory management and profiling. It
* wraps the standard library functions
* .Xr malloc 3 ,
* .Xr realloc 3 ,
* and
* .Xr free 3 ,
* and offers identical semantics, while providing functionality that
* the standard library doesn't have, such as getting statistics on the
* total memory allocated on the heap, and getting the size of a block
* given a pointer. Additionally, thanks to preprocessor macros, the
* exact file and line number at which an allocation, re-allocation, or
* free occured can be obtained given a pointer. Finally, all the
* blocks allocated on the heap can be iterated and evaluated, and a
* callback function can be executed every time a memory operation
* occurs.
* .Pp
* In the future, this API could include a garbage collector that
* automatically frees memory it detects as being no longer in use.
* However, this feature does not yet exist.
* .Pp
* A number of macros are available, which make the
* .Nm
* API much easier to use. They are as follows:
* .Bl -bullet -offset indent
* .It
* .Fn Malloc "x"
* .It
* .Fn Realloc "x" "y"
* .It
* .Fn Free "x"
* .El
* .Pp
* These macros expand to
* .Fn MemoryAllocate ,
* .Fn MemoryReallocate ,
* and
* .Fn MemoryFree
* with the second and third parameters set to __FILE__ and __LINE__.
* This allows
* .Nm
* to be used exactly how the standard library functions would be
* used. In fact, the functions to which these macros expand are not
* intended to be used directly; for the best results, use these
* macros.
