#ifndef KMP_WRAPPER_MALLOC_H

/* This header serves for 3 purposes:
   1. Declaring standard memory allocation routines in OS-independent way.
   2. Passing source location info through memory allocation wrappers.
   3. Enabling native memory debugging capabilities.
 
   1. Declaring standard memory allocation routines in OS-independent way.
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------
   On Linux* OS, alloca() function is declared in <alloca.h> header, while on
   Windows* OS there is no <alloca.h> header, function _alloca() (note
   underscore!) is declared in <malloc.h>. This header eliminates these
   differences, so client code including "kmp_wrapper_malloc.h" can rely on
   following routines:
 
        malloc
        calloc
        realloc
        free
        alloca
 
   in OS-independent way. It also enables memory tracking capabilities in debug
   build. (Currently it is available only on Windows* OS.)
 
   2. Passing source location info through memory allocation wrappers.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------
   Some tools may help debugging memory errors, for example, report memory
   leaks. However, memory allocation wrappers may hinder source location.
   For example:
 
   void * aligned_malloc( int size ) {
     void * ptr = malloc( size ); // All the memory leaks will be reported at
                                  // this line.
     // some adjustments...
     return ptr;
   };
 
   ptr = aligned_malloc( size ); // Memory leak will *not* be detected here. :-(
 
   To overcome the problem, information about original source location should
   be passed through all the memory allocation wrappers, for example:
 
   void * aligned_malloc( int size, char const * file, int line ) {
     void * ptr = _malloc_dbg( size, file, line );
     // some adjustments...
     return ptr;
   };
   void * ptr = aligned_malloc( size, __FILE__, __LINE__ );
 
   This is a good idea for debug, but passing additional arguments impacts
   performance. Disabling extra arguments in release version of the software
   introduces too many conditional compilation, which makes code unreadable.
   This header defines few macros and functions facilitating it:
 
   void * _aligned_malloc( int size KMP_SRC_LOC_DECL ) {
     void * ptr = malloc_src_loc( size KMP_SRC_LOC_PARM );
     // some adjustments...
     return ptr;
   };
   #define aligned_malloc( size ) _aligned_malloc( (size) KMP_SRC_LOC_CURR )
   // Use macro instead of direct call to function.
 
   void * ptr = aligned_malloc( size );  // Bingo! Memory leak will be
                                         // reported at this line.
 
   3. Enabling native memory debugging capabilities.
   -------------------------------------------------
   Some platforms may offer memory debugging capabilities. For example, debug
   version of Microsoft RTL tracks all memory allocations and can report memory
   leaks. This header enables this, and makes report more useful (see "Passing
   source location info through memory allocation wrappers").

   Compiler issues warning/error "too few arguments in macro invocation".
   Declaring two macros, malloc_src_loc() and _malloc_src_loc(), overcomes the
