// memrw provides a simulation of an application
// reading and writing memory, for the sake of tuning helgrind.
// It is a very simple (simplistic) model:
//  * only one thread
//  * only one exe context reading or writing the memory
//  * the working set of the application is unrealistically
//    concentrated on a consecutive nr of MB.
// At this moment, it was just used to tune the EvM data structure
// of helgrind.
// It would be nice to enhance this program to cope with a richer
// model e.g. multiple threads, many different stack traces touching
// the memory, better working set distribution, ...

static int nr_b; // total nr of blocks used by the program

static int nr_thr; // nr of threads (hardcoded to 1 currently)
static int nr_repeat; // nr of times we will allocate, use, then free total+ws

// Note: the total nr of MB is what is explicitely allocated.
// On top of that, we have the stacks, local vars, lib vars, ...
