Analyzer libc-dump-mem

# Name

libc-dump-mem - Dump the used memory allocated by malloc and related functions

This analyzer dumps the contents of memory regions allocated by malloc and related functions in C-based applications. It captures memory addresses and sizes of allocated blocks, and retrieves their contents for analysis. The analyzer generates output files containing the dumped memory data, enabling detailed inspection of in-use memory regions. This is particularly useful for debugging memory leaks.
