Subject: [PATCH v2 05/10] grep/pcre2: add GREP_PCRE2_DEBUG_MALLOC debug mode

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2021 01:07:23 +0100

Add optional printing of PCREv2 allocations to stderr for a developer
who manually changes the GREP_PCRE2_DEBUG_MALLOC definition to "1".

You need to manually change the definition in the source file similar
to the DEBUG_MAILMAP, there's no Makefile knob for this.

This will be referenced a subsequent commit, and is generally useful
to manually see what's going on with PCREv2 allocations while working
on that code.
