The replacement functions are running on the simulated CPU.
The code on the simulated CPU does not necessarily use
all arguments. E.g. args can be ignored and/or only given
to a NON SIMD call.
The definedness of such 'unused' arguments will not be verified
by memcheck.
A call to 'trigger_memcheck_error_if_undefined' allows
memcheck to detect such errors for the otherwise unused args.
Apart of allowing memcheck to detect an error, the function
trigger_memcheck_error_if_undefined has no effect and
has a minimal cost for other tools replacing malloc functions.
(suggestion of the 'no operation check' from Julian).
tested on f12/x86, debian6/amd64, f18/ppc64
Note that some Darwin specific code has been modified
in coregrind/m_replace_malloc/vg_replace_malloc.c.
(Some of) this code has not been compiled (no access to a
Darwin system). The code changed is trivial, so there is
some chance it will compile and even maybe work.
Added a new test verifying that various malloc related
functions undefined args are triggering an error in memcheck.
