alloc.rs

//! Memory allocation APIs.
//!
//! In a given program, the standard library has one “global” memory allocator
//! that is used for example by `Box<T>` and `Vec<T>`.
//!
//! Currently the default global allocator is unspecified. Libraries, however,
//! like `cdylib`s and `staticlib`s are guaranteed to use the [`System`] by
//! default.
//!
//! # The `#[global_allocator]` attribute
//!
//! This attribute allows configuring the choice of global allocator.
//! You can use this to implement a completely custom global allocator
//! to route all default allocation requests to a custom object.
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::alloc::{GlobalAlloc, System, Layout};
//!
//! struct MyAllocator;
//!
//! unsafe impl GlobalAlloc for MyAllocator {
//!     unsafe fn alloc(&self, layout: Layout) -> *mut u8 {
//!         System.alloc(layout)
//!     }
//!
//!     unsafe fn dealloc(&self, ptr: *mut u8, layout: Layout) {
//!         System.dealloc(ptr, layout)
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! #[global_allocator]
//! static GLOBAL: MyAllocator = MyAllocator;
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     // This `Vec` will allocate memory through `GLOBAL` above
//!     let mut v = Vec::new();
//!     v.push(1);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The attribute is used on a `static` item whose type implements the
//! [`GlobalAlloc`] trait. This type can be provided by an external library:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore (demonstrates crates.io usage)
//! use jemallocator::Jemalloc;
//!
//! #[global_allocator]
//! static GLOBAL: Jemalloc = Jemalloc;
//!
//! fn main() {}
//! ```
//!
//! The `#[global_allocator]` can only be used once in a crate
//! or its recursive dependencies.

///
/// ```rust
/// use std::alloc::{System, GlobalAlloc, Layout};
/// use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicUsize, Ordering::SeqCst};

/// static A: Counter = Counter;
///
/// fn main() {
///     println!("allocated bytes before main: {}", ALLOCATED.load(SeqCst));
/// }
/// ```
///
/// It can also be used directly to allocate memory independently of whatever
/// global allocator has been selected for a Rust program. For example if a Rust
/// program opts in to using jemalloc as the global allocator, `System` will
/// still allocate memory using `malloc` and `HeapAlloc`.
