Function loom::alloc::alloc

pub unsafe fn alloc(layout: Layout) -> *mut u8

Allocate memory with the global allocator.

This is equivalent to the standard library’s std::alloc::alloc, but with the addition of leak tracking for allocated objects. Loom’s leak tracking will not function for allocations not performed via this method.

This function forwards calls to the GlobalAlloc::alloc method of the allocator registered with the #[global_allocator] attribute if there is one, or the std crate’s default.
