--  This version contains allocation tracking capability.
--  The object file corresponding to this instrumented version is to be found
--  in libgmem.
--  When enabled, the subsystem logs all the calls to __gnat_malloc and
--  __gnat_free. This log can then be processed by gnatmem to detect
--  dynamic memory leaks.
--
--  To use this functionality, you must compile your application with -g
--  and then link with this object file:
--
--     gnatmake -g program -largs -lgmem
--
--  After compilation, you may use your program as usual except that upon
--  completion, it will generate in the current directory the file gmem.out.
--
--  You can then investigate for possible memory leaks and mismatch by calling
--  gnatmem with this file as an input:
--
--    gnatmem -i gmem.out program
--
--  See gnatmem section in the GNAT User's Guide for more details.
--
--  NOTE: This capability is currently supported on the following targets:
--
--    Windows
--    GNU/Linux
--    HP-UX
--    Irix
--    Solaris
--    Tru64
