How do I trace a custom allocator using xperf's heap profiling tools?

Question

xperf (part of Windows Performance Analysis Toolkit) is very helpful in tracking memory usage with its heap analysis. However, my app uses a custom allocator -- it grabs chunks via VirtualAlloc directly and manages its own heap. I'd like to generate HeapAlloc/HeapFree/etc. events myself from my own allocation functions, so that I can use the tools as is, without having to define a bunch of custom ETW events. Is it possible to do this?

Try using leakdiag
