Crate block_allocator [−] [src]

A thread-safe, reusable allocator of fixed-size blocks

(c) 2015 Rick Richardson rick.richardson@gmail.com

Provides fixed size, buffers out of a pre-allocated arena.

Limitations

  • Max number of buffers that can be provided is u32::MAX - 1
  • Max size of a buffer is u32::MAX
  • Currently only works on 64 bit architectures
  • (all of these due to a present limitation in Atomic types)
