How to make sure mimalloc-override actually works?

Hello,

Win10 x64, VS2022.

I'm building the mimalloc-override project and then I'm using this code in order to utilize it in my project (MFC-based application):

MimallocConnector.h

#pragma once

#include "..\mimalloc\include\mimalloc.h"

#ifndef _MFC_VER
	// mimalloc explicit operator overloads conflict with MFC new/delete operators (linker
	// errors), do not use explicit operator overloads in conjunction with MFC.
	#include "..\mimalloc\include\mimalloc-new-delete.h"
#endif

MimallocConnector.cpp

#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "MimallocConnector.h"

#if defined(_WIN64)
	#pragma comment(linker, "/include:ReferenceMimalloc")
#else
	#pragma comment(linker, "/include:_ReferenceMimalloc")
#endif

extern "C" void ReferenceMimalloc(void)
{
	const volatile int nVersion = mi_version();
}

Of course, mimalloc-override.dll and mimalloc-redirect.dll are copied into the build destination folder.

Then I'm using the minject --list in order to make sure mimalloc-override.dll is in the list, it actually is:

0: mimalloc-override.dll
1: mfc140u.dll
2: KERNEL32.dll
3: USER32.dll
4: GDI32.dll
5: ADVAPI32.dll
6: COMCTL32.dll
...

I'm running my program and it works just fine, I can see that mimalloc-override.dll and mimalloc-redirect.dll are loaded upon startup.

However, I don't underdstand how to make sure the standard library memory calls are actually redirected to mimalloc.

Doing something obvious like "void* p = malloc(100)", but the debugger does not go into the malloc, so I have no idea whether mimalloc is actually utilized.

Thank you.

Start by reproducing the Windows x64 setup using MimallocConnector.h and MimallocConnector.cpp, then inspect the loaded modules with minject --list. Investigate how the malloc call can be observed in this configuration and define a reliable check that confirms whether standard-library allocations reach mimalloc.
