That is not possible without installing your own memory manager that tracks all
allocations. Also k

Is there a way I can tell if an arbitrary address is within the heap or
stack?
I want to do something like:
Assert(ValidHeapAddress(a))
Assert(ValidStackAddress(a))
to catch potential errors in the code.
I'm guessing any address b
