#           Allocspy -- Monitoring Memory Allocation in Lua          #

##                           Introduction                           ##

If you are interested when Lua allocates how much memory for what,

this helper module is for you. It replaces the standard memory

allocator for Lua values and counts the allocated memory. It may also

log all (de-)allocations to `stderr`.

##                          Getting Started                         ##

This module can be `require`d as a normal Lua module. It provides two

functions:

*   `enable( verbose )`

    Start counting the number of bytes allocated by Lua. If the

    `verbose` flag is truish, every (de-)allocation is logged to

    `stderr`.

*   `disable()`

    Stop counting the number of bytes allocated by Lua. Returns the

    number of bytes allocated since this module was last `enable`d.
