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