rusty_alloc: pure-Rust memory allocator
Pure-Rust memory allocator — a mimalloc reimplementation with safer double-free behavior
Replaces: mimalloc / glibc malloc
What is rusty_alloc, the pure-Rust memory allocator?
rusty_alloc is a pure-Rust memory allocator. It is a mimalloc reimplementation with safer double-free behavior, and it replaces mimalloc and glibc malloc for processes that want that allocator in Rust.
What rusty_alloc replaces
rusty_alloc is a pure-Rust memory allocator. It reimplements mimalloc, and double-free behavior is safer than the C allocator it follows.
Why rusty_alloc is a pure-Rust memory allocator
What rusty_alloc keeps from mimalloc / glibc malloc
rusty_alloc keeps a general-purpose allocator as the job. mimalloc and glibc malloc are what it replaces. rusty_alloc_default is the small crate that installs it as the process global allocator.
Where rusty_alloc fits
rusty_alloc is the memory crate under the codecs and the game loop. The Learn article on frame spikes is the game-facing writeup of the same allocator.
