VOID Handler(VOID * val, CONTEXT * ctxt, VOID * ip, THREADID tid)
{
    INSTLIB::ALARM_ICOUNT * al = static_cast<INSTLIB::ALARM_ICOUNT *>(val);
    
    std::cout << "Alarm fired, resetting" << endl;
    al->SetAlarm(50000, Handler, al);
}
    
// argc, argv are the entire command line, including pin -t <toolname> -- ...
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
    // Initialize pin
    PIN_Init(argc, argv);

    // Activate alarm, must be done before PIN_StartProgram
    ialarm.Activate();

    ialarm.SetAlarm(50000, Handler, &ialarm);
    
    // Start the program, never returns
    PIN_StartProgram();
    
    return 0;
