This is a tool that can be used to detect usage of the global or system versions
of operator new() and operator delete() (and their other allocating
variants). This tool is useful for finding and preventing calls that go around
a library's or application's custom allocator.
- Support
malloc()andfree() - Filtering for false positives
- Support
std::make_unique(),std::make_shared(), and other allocating library functions
