As part of the EDB debugger, we want to make sure that the debugger works even in presence of mocks.
For this, we added two functions to the EDB server to allow "module substitution".
A mocking library such as meck would need to invoke these two functions during initialization/termination, as showcased in this PR which was originally designed by @jcpetruzza and @agastyabahl.
If the direct reference to
edb_serveris not acceptable, we can use an env variable or equivalent approach to configure the "hook".
