The Memprof Library. Used to track malloc and free.
WARNING: To compile the library, you must have a copy of the kernel module in ../module and a copy of the parser in ../parser. See https://github.com/Memprof to get the module and the parser.

The library will write text files in /tmp at the end of the run. Make sure that you have the rights to write in /tmp.

By default, the library uses backtrace() to collect callchains. If your application is configured to use frame pointers (i.e., compiled with -fno-omit-frame-pointers), then you can enable frame pointers; it will speed up the data collection (see ldlib.c).
