That NDK bug has been fixed since r8c, and we now require something more
recent than that. This effectively reverts the changes from bug 720621
and bug 734832.
So far, logalloc has avoided logging calls that e.g. return null
pointers, but both to make the code more generic and to enable logging
of error conditions, we now log every call.
Now that replace_init can opt-out of registering the replace-malloc
functions, don't do so when MALLOC_LOG was not set in the environment.
While one would normally set MALLOC_LOG alongside one of the environment
variable necessary to load the replace-malloc library, we're also going,
in a subsequent change, to allow statically linking replace-malloc
libraries, taking full advantage of this change.
The original purpose of those declarations was to avoid the function
definitions being wrong, as well as forcing them being exported
properly (as extern "C", as weak symbols when necessary, etc.), but:
- The implementations being C++, function overloads simply allowed
functions with the same name to have a different signature.
- As of bug 1420353, the functions don't need to be exported anymore,
nor do we care whether their symbols are mangled. Furthermore, they're
now being assigned to function table fields, meaning there is type
checking in place, now.
So all in all, these declarations can be removed.
Also, as further down the line we're going to statically link the
replace-malloc libraries, avoid symbol conflicts by making those
functions static.

Because one entry point is simpler than two, we make replace_init fulfil
both the roles of replace_init and replace_get_bridge.
Note this should be binary compatible with older replace-malloc
libraries, albeit not detecting their bridge (and with the
previous change, they do not register anyways). So loading older
replace-malloc libraries should do nothing, but not crash in awful ways.
The allocator API is a moving target, and every time we change it, the
surface for replace-malloc libraries grows. This causes some build
system problems, because of the tricks in replace_malloc.mk, which
require the full list of symbols.
Considering the above and the goal of moving some of the replace-malloc
libraries into mozglue, it becomes simpler to reduce the replace-malloc
exposure to the initialization functions.
So instead of the allocator poking into replace-malloc libraries for all
the functions, we expect their replace_init function to alter the table
of allocator functions it's passed to register its own functions.
This means replace-malloc implementations now need to copy the original
table, which is not a bad thing, as it allows function calls with one
level of indirection less. It also replace_init functions to not
actually register the replace-malloc functions in some cases, which will
be useful when linking some replace-malloc libraries into mozglue.
Note this is binary compatible with previously built replace-malloc
libraries, but because those libraries wouldn't update the function
table, they would stay disabled.
