Console interaction with dmalloc

The FreeSCI console proivdes an interface to the dmalloc memory debugger/profiler, if the interpreter was compiled with dmalloc support enabled. The following commands are provided:

dm_log_heap
Prints the current heap state into the dmalloc log file.
dm_stats
Prints memory usage statistics to the output file.
dm_log_unfreed
Lists unfreed pointers in the dmalloc output file.
dm_verify (pointer)
Verifies a pointer and prints the result to the dmalloc output file. Specifying 0 instead of a pointer will verify all pointers currently known to dmalloc.
dm_debug (mode)
Sets the dmalloc debug flags (please refer to the dmalloc documentation for a description).
dm_mark
Gets a mark describing the current heap situation (see also 'dm_chmark').
dm_chmark (mark)
Compares a mark retreived by 'dm_mark' with the current heap situation, and prints the results to the dmalloc output file.
dm_print (output)
Prints arbitrary output to the dmalloc output file.
