A heap allocator for Cortex-M processors

Example

#![feature(alloc)]
#![feature(global_allocator)]
#![feature(lang_items)]

// Plug in the allocator crate
extern crate alloc;
extern crate alloc_cortex_m;
#[macro_use]
extern crate cortex_m_rt as rt; // v0.5.x

use alloc::Vec;
use alloc_cortex_m::CortexMHeap;

#[global_allocator]
static ALLOCATOR: CortexMHeap = CortexMHeap::empty();

entry!(main);

fn main() -> ! {
    // Initialize the allocator BEFORE you use it
    let start = rt::heap_start() as usize;
    let size = 1024; // in bytes
    unsafe { ALLOCATOR.init(start, size) }

    let mut xs = Vec::new();
    xs.push(1);

    loop { /* .. */ }
}

// required: define how Out Of Memory (OOM) conditions should be handled
// *if* no other crate has already defined `oom`
#[lang = "oom"]
#[no_mangle]
pub fn rust_oom() -> ! {
    // ..
}


// omitted: exception handlers
