## Memory allocation
The module provides its own memory allocation library called **MagicMemory**. The library can be used to create MagicMemory contexts. All memory allocation calls must be performed through this library. If a function allocates memory, it has to take a MagicMemory context (that has the type `mm_ctx`) as its first parameter and perform the memory allocation inside that context. Before the program exits, all of the contexts must be freed up.

# CAFF previewer wrapper
