This code provides a 'shim' to intercept memory allocation and free calls. Very useful for microcontrollers where valgrind can't be used to track down memory leaks!

Library can be compiled with any compiler that has stdlib.h. Calls to malloc(), realloc(), calloc(), and free() can be appended with _t to make calls to the tracking functions malloc_t(), realloc_t(), calloc_t(), and free_t() or use the -Wl,-wrap feature of binutils for existing calls to malloc(), realloc(), calloc(), and free() without changing source code...
