Module dlib.core.memory
Tools for manual memory management
New/Delete for classes, structs and arrays. It utilizes dlib.memory for actual memory allocation, so it is possible to switch allocator that is being used. By default, dlib.memory.mallocator.Mallocator is used.
Module includes a simple memory profiler that can be turned on with enableMemoryProfiler function. If active, it will store information about every allocation (type and size), and will mark those which are leaked (haven't been deleted).
