Function lisp_malloc adds information for an allocated + block to the red-black tree with calls to mem_insert, and function + lisp_free removes it with mem_delete. Functions live_string_p etc + call mem_find to lookup information about a given pointer in the + tree, and use that to determine if the pointer points to a Lisp + object or not. */ + /* Initialize this part of alloc.c. */ static void
