There are four requirements to make the overriding work robustly:
1. Use the C-runtime library as a DLL (using the `/MD` or `/MDd` switch).
2. Link your program explicitly with `mimalloc-override.dll` library.
To ensure the `mimalloc-override.dll` is loaded at run-time it is easiest to insert some
call to the mimalloc API in the `main` function, like `mi_version()`
(or use the `/INCLUDE:mi_version` switch on the linker). See the `mimalloc-override-test` project
for an example on how to use this.
3. The `mimalloc-redirect.dll` (or `mimalloc-redirect32.dll`) must be put
in the same folder as the main `mimalloc-override.dll` at runtime (as it is a dependency of that DLL).
The redirection DLL ensures that all calls to the C runtime malloc API get redirected to
mimalloc functions (which reside in `mimalloc-override.dll`).
4. Ensure the `mimalloc-override.dll` comes as early as possible in the import
list of the final executable (so it can intercept all potential allocations).
