2. Link your program explicitly with `mimalloc-override.dll` library.
To ensure the `mimalloc-override.dll` is loaded at run-time it is easiest to insert some
call to the mimalloc API in the `main` function, like `mi_version()`
(or use the `/INCLUDE:mi_version` switch on the linker). See the `mimalloc-override-test` project
for an example on how to use this.

(or use the `/INCLUDE:mi_version` switch on the linker, or
use `#pragma comment(linker, "/include:mi_version")` in some source file).
See the `mimalloc-override-test` project for an example on how to use this.
3. The `mimalloc-redirect.dll` (or `mimalloc-redirect32.dll`, or `mimalloc-redirect-arm64.dll`) must be put
3. The `mimalloc-redirect.dll` (x64) (or `mimalloc-redirect32.dll` (x86), or `mimalloc-redirect-arm64.dll` (arm64)) must be put
in the same folder as the main `mimalloc-override.dll` at runtime (as it is a dependency of that DLL).
The redirection DLL ensures that all calls to the C runtime malloc API get redirected to
mimalloc functions (which reside in `mimalloc-override.dll`).
