# linked-list-allocator
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/phil-opp/linked-list-allocator.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/phil-opp/linked-list-allocator)
[Documentation](https://docs.rs/crate/linked_list_allocator)
## Usage
Create a static allocator in your root module:
```rust
use linked_list_allocator::LockedHeap;
#[global_allocator]
static ALLOCATOR: LockedHeap = LockedHeap::empty();
```
Before using this allocator, you need to init it:
```rust
pub fn init_heap() {
let heap_start = …;
let heap_end = …;
let heap_size = heap_end - heap_start;
unsafe {
ALLOCATOR.lock().init(heap_start, heap_size);
}
}
```
