A few years ago, I had a similar need. I made a small library which overload
malloc (and free) and display caller (using backtrace_symbols function).
Next I loaded it using LD_PRELOAD. The main problems are :
* it only work for malloced memory (not mmaped memory)
* It is difficult to interpred efficiently information provided. Name of
caller may not be sufficient to understand why memory is allocated.
