c++ - Problem in overriding malloc

Question

I am trying to override malloc by doing this.

#define malloc(X) my_malloc((X))

void* my_malloc(size_t size)
{

    void *p = malloc(size);
    printf ("Allocated = %s, %s, %s, %x
",__FILE__, __LINE__, __FUNCTION__, p);
    return p;
}

However, this is indefinitely calling my_malloc recursively (because of malloc call inside my_malloc). I wanted to call C malloc function inside my_malloc and not the macro implementation. Could you please let me know how to do that?

Thanks.

Problem solved:

void* my_malloc(size_t size, const char *file, int line, const char *func)
{

    void *p = malloc(size);
    printf ("Allocated = %s, %i, %s, %p[%li]
", file, line, func, p, size);
    return p;
}
#define malloc(X) my_malloc( X, __FILE__, __LINE__, __FUNCTION__)
