18 /** Implementation note on the mallocators:
20 * Mallocators and memory mess introduced by model-checking do not mix well together: the mallocator will give
21 * standard memory when we are using raw memory (so these blocks are killed on restore) and the contrary (so these
22 * blocks will leak across restores).
24 * In addition, model-checking is activated when the command-line arguments are parsed, at the beginning of main, while
25 * most of the mallocators are created during the constructor functions launched from xbt_preinit, before the beginning
26 * of the main function.
28 * We want the code as fast as possible when they are active while we can deal with a little slow-down when they are
29 * inactive. So we start the mallocators as inactive. When they are so, they check at each use whether they should
30 * switch to the fast active mode or should stay in inactive mode. Finally, we give external elements a way to switch
31 * them all to the active mode (through xbt_mallocator_initialization_is_done).
33 * This design avoids to store all mallocators somewhere for later conversion, which would be hard to achieve provided
34 * that all our data structures use some mallocators internally...
