// VLDEnable - Enables Visual Leak Detector's memory leak detection at runtime.
//   If memory leak detection is already enabled, which it is by default, then
//   calling this function has no effect.
//
//  Note: In multithreaded programs, this function operates on a per-thread
//    basis. In other words, if you call this function from one thread, then
//    memory leak detection is only enabled for that thread. If memory leak
//    detection is disabled for other threads, then it will remain disabled for
//    those other threads. It was designed to work this way to insulate you,
//    the programmer, from having to ensure thread synchronization when calling
//    VLDEnable() and VLDDisable(). Without this, calling these two functions
//    unsychronized could result in unpredictable and unintended behavior.
//    But this also means that if you want to enable memory leak detection
//    process-wide, then you need to call this function from every thread in
//    the process.
//
//  Return Value:
//
//    None.
