So we're talking RAII as modulo exceptions - unless longjmp() is alos an 
exception...

So you *haven't* thought about it, then? It's not exactly rocket
surgery. I am just enumerating my assumptions in responding to your 
post, not *accusing* you of anything.

Essentially replace malloc()/free() with something that tracks 
allocation and provides instrumentation about the state of the heap.
This is much simpler than it sounds...

Given all the rash about it, I am surprised 'C' doesn't offer this 
natively, and that there were never commercial products of the same
stripe.

There's this:

Very slanted towards some variant of Windows style, but
it should give you the general idea.
