    <p>I'm trying to figure out a way to globally override malloc and related functions in visual c++ (2005). My setup is a dll with statically linked runtime library that consists of both my own c++ code, external c++ and c code. What I want to accomplish is to allow a user of the dll to set their own implementations of the memory allocation functions.</p> <p>Solutions that I can't use:</p> <ul> <li>Overriding new and delete globally, there is lots of external C libraries in my code base which means this won't capture many allocations.</li> <li><h1>defining malloc to a different symbol. This would force me to push this define into the build settings of all external libraries used and I really want to avoid this.</h1></li> </ul> <p>Things I don't care about</p> <ul> <li>If any of the external libraries are allocating memory in some other way (HeapAlloc, memory mapped files or whatever they come up with), I accept that this won't be tracked properly by overriding malloc.</li> </ul> <p>The most reasonable solution I can come up with is somehow interfering with the link process and making sure my own malloc is being linked instead of the standard ones, preferably I'd like to be able to use the old malloc functions as default.</p> <p>In google <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/" rel="noreferrer">perf-tools</a> it seems like they patch the code of the functions manually at runtime to allow a hook function to be called before calling the original function. Is this really the best way of doing this?</p>

    1. COAre you trying to do the same thing as LD_PRELOAD on Linux ?

    2. COI'm not that familiar with LD_PRELOAD, but it seems to be related to dynamic linking, in my case malloc, free and their friends are statically linked.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
