| ## Why dlmalloc? |
| |
| This crate is a port of [dlmalloc] to Rust, and doesn't rely on C. The primary |
| purpose of this crate is to serve as the default allocator for Rust on the |
| `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target. At the time this was written the wasm target |
| didn't support C code, so it was required to have a Rust-only solution. |
| |
| This allocator is not the most performant by a longshot. It is primarily, I |
| think, intended for being easy to port and easy to learn. I didn't dive too deep |
| into the implementation when writing it, it's just a straight port of the C |
| version. |
| |
| It's unlikely that Rust code needs to worry/interact with this allocator in |
| general. Most of the time you'll be manually switching to a different allocator |
| :) |
