blender/intern/guardedalloc/MEM_guardedalloc.h
Brecht Van Lommel e7d6537f1c Added support for threadsafe MEM_mallocN/MEM_freeN in the guardedalloc
module itself, replacing the special MEM_mallocT/MEM_freeT functions.
Mutex locking is only enabled when threads are running.

There was no good reason to have these separate, it just led to ugly
hacks when calling functions with non-threadsafe malloc from threads.

*
* @mainpage MEM - c-style guarded memory allocation
*
* @section about About the MEM module
*
* MEM provides guarded malloc/calloc calls. All memory is enclosed by
* pads, to detect out-of-bound writes. All blocks are placed in a
* linked list, so they remain reachable at all times. There is no
* back-up in case the linked-list related data is lost.
*
* @section issues Known issues with MEM
*
* There are currently no known issues with MEM. Note that there is a
* second intern/ module with MEM_ prefix, for use in c++.
*
* @section dependencies Dependencies
*
* - stdlib
*
* - stdio
