libc_alloc

A simple global allocator for Rust which hooks into libc. Useful when linking no_std + alloc code into existing embedded C code.

On Unix-like OSs, use posix_memalign for allocations, realloc for reallocations, and free for deallocations.

On Windows, use native _aligned_malloc for allocations, _aligned_realloc for reallocations, and _aligned_free for deallocations.

Example

use libc_alloc::LibcAlloc;

#[global_allocator]
static ALLOCATOR: LibcAlloc = LibcAlloc;

Project Status

Given how dead-simple this crate is, I doubt it will need to be updated very often (if at all).

Please file an issue and/or open a PR if you spot a bug / if something stops working.
