* livepatch-shadow-fix1.c - Shadow variables, livepatch demo
*
* Purpose
* -------
*
* Fixes the memory leak introduced in livepatch-shadow-mod through the
* use of a shadow variable. This fix demonstrates the "extending" of
* short-lived data structures by patching its allocation and release
* functions.
*
*
* Usage
* -----
*
* This module is not intended to be standalone. See the "Usage"
* section of livepatch-shadow-mod.c.
