Specify patterns for function wrapping or replacement.
To use a non-libc malloc library that is

Step 5 test the program: Note: whether the current user has the execution permission is required

Valgrind -- tool = memcheck -- leak-check = full -- log-file = log./main tests the compiled C program using the corresponding parameters.

Step 6:

The above configuration will generate a log file in the current directory to view the log file.
