# This script is only really useful for running on Linux. It tests the code to
# free temps in order to make an allocation work. In order to see it work, I
# suggest adding code after the following line in src/vm.c:
#
# if (BC_ERR(ptr == NULL)) bc_vm_fatalError(BC_ERR_FATAL_ALLOC_ERR);
#
# The code you should add is the following:
#
# bc_file_printf(&vm.ferr, "If you see this, the code worked.\n");
# bc_file_flush(&vm.ferr, bc_flush_none);
#
# If you do not see the that message printed, the code did not work. Or, in the
# case of some allocators, like jemalloc, the allocator just isn't great with
# turning a bunch of small allocations into a bigger allocation,

# This script is designed to allocate lots of memory with a lot of caching of
