+ * Now you have 3 ways for the malloc function:
+ *
+ * 1. Do not change anything, use the original malloc
+ *
+ * 2. Use the clear_malloc function instead of the original malloc.
+ * In this case you must use the following define:

+ * 3. Use the fill_malloc function instead of the original malloc.
+ * In this case you must use the following define:

+ * We have figured out that there could exist some malloc problems
+ * where variables are using without to be initialise. To find this
+ * places, use the fill_malloc function. With this function we want
+ * to initialize memory to some known bad state. This is quite easily
+ * spotted in the debugger and will trap to an invalid address.
+ *
+ * clear_malloc can be used if you want to set not initialise
+ * variable to 0.
+ *
+ * If you do not want to change the malloc function, to not use one of
+ * the following macros. Which is the default way.
