"""chattymalloc allocator

This shared library is no functional allocator. It is used to retrieve a trace
of the allocator usage of the executed programm. It overrides the malloc API
and writes each call and its result to an output file.
See src/chattymalloc.c and chattyparser.py for its implementation and usage.
