Hi Group,
   I have applied a malloc wrapper patch made available  here
<http://valgrind.10908.n7.nabble.com/Patch-to-add-malloc-wrappers-tt43652.html> 
) to test my own malloc library. Very useful functionality that adds a
VG_(needs_malloc_wrap) similar to replacing VG_(needs_malloc_replacements).
It works great with the glibc malloc, however; I have a simple
liballocator.so shared libary for my application. It's just a test really to
see it work.

The question is: How do I make Valgrind aware to look for that particular
library?

I looked at the option --soname-synonym=somalloc=?, but I'm very confused as
to how to redirect valgrind to the approapriate library. Any ideas or hints
that could help me look in the right direction? I looked at pub_tool_redir.h
but I'm not sure what I'm exactly looking for either. 
In addition to setting that properly is there anything else that I need to
do to get that to work? 

Thanks!
