You can simply place your version of malloc() in your program, and it will be used instead of the
library's malloc() version. If you want to make it available for other programs as well then you
may consider making it a library/shared object (-shared option of gcc), or simply a .o object (-c
option of gcc). You can then link your program with the library/shared object or the .o object. If
you want to make it available to unknown programs then you may also consider making your malloc()
version thread-safe. Hope this helps.
