138  * The default callback outputs trace data using 'printf', in a format that's
139  * easily parsable by an external tool. For each memory operation, the callback
140  * outputs a line that begins with "#<op>:<0xresult>;<0xcaller>-":

144  * @param res (base 16) is the result of the memory operation. This is always NULL
145  * for 'free', since 'free' doesn't return anything.
146  * @param caller (base 16) is the caller of the memory operation. Note that the value
147  * of 'caller' might be unreliable.
148  *
149  * The rest of the output depends on the operation being traced:
150  *
151  * - for 'malloc': 'size', where 'size' is the original argument to 'malloc'.
152  * - for 'realloc': '0xptr;size', where 'ptr' (base 16) and 'size' are the original arguments to 'realloc'.
153  * - for 'calloc': 'nmemb;size', where 'nmemb' and 'size' are the original arguments to 'calloc'.
154  * - for 'free': '0xptr', where 'ptr' (base 16) is the original argument to 'free'.
155  *
156  * Examples:
157  *
158  * - "#m:0x20003240;0x600d-50" encodes a 'malloc' that returned 0x20003240, was called
159  * by the instruction at 0x600D with a the 'size' argument equal to 50.
160  * - "#f:0x0;0x602f-0x20003240" encodes a 'free' that was called by the instruction at
161  * 0x602f with the 'ptr' argument equal to 0x20003240.
