This adds a check on Windows when starting Gaffer to verify that the TBB allocator has been installed correctly. Other platforms don't perform the check and the check method is not present.
I don't actually know what circumstances the allocator would fail to install itself. If I just remove the
tbbmalloc_proxy.dll
file from the installation, Gaffer immediately and silently fails to open at all.But I think this is still worthwhile as an easy box to check off when debugging performance problems.
