//! A an allocator-agnostic crate for measuring the runtime size of a value
//! including the size of any heap allocations that are owned by that value.
//!
//! - The core abstraction is provided by the [`MallocSizeOf`] trait which should be implemented for all
//!   types whose size you wish to measure.
//! - A derive macro for implementing this trait on structs is provided by the [malloc_size_of_derive](https://docs.rs/malloc_size_of_derive) crate
//! - Additionally there are [`MallocUnconditionalSizeOf`], [`MallocConditionalSizeOf`] traits for measuring
//!   types where ownership is shared (such as `Arc` and `Rc`).
//! - Each of these traits also has a "shallow" variant ([`MallocShallowSizeOf`], [`MallocUnconditionalShallowSizeOf`], and  [`MallocConditionalShallowSizeOf`]) which only measure the heap size of the value passed
//!   and not any nested allocations.
//!
//! All of these traits rely on being provided with an instance of [`MallocSizeOfOps`] which allows size computations
//! to call into the allocator to ask it for the underlyinhg size of the allocations backing data structures.
//!
//! This crate is used by both Servo and Firefox for memory usage calculation.
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - It isn't bound to a particular heap allocator.
//! - It provides traits for both "shallow" and "deep" measurement, which gives
//!   flexibility in the cases where the traits can't be used.
//! - It allows for measuring blocks even when only an interior pointer can be
//!   obtained for heap allocations, e.g. `HashSet` and `HashMap`. (This relies
//!   on the heap allocator having suitable support, which `jemalloc` has.)
//! - It allows handling of types like `Rc` and `Arc` by providing traits that
//!   are different to the ones for non-graph structures.
//!
//! ## Suggested usage
//!
//! - When possible, use the `MallocSizeOf` trait. (Deriving support is
//!   provided by the `malloc_size_of_derive` crate.)
//! - If you need an additional synchronization argument, provide a function
//!   that is like the standard trait method, but with the extra argument.
//! - If you need multiple measurements for a type, provide a function named
//!   `add_size_of` that takes a mutable reference to a struct that contains
//!   the multiple measurement fields.
//! - When deep measurement (via `MallocSizeOf`) cannot be implemented for a
//!   type, shallow measurement (via `MallocShallowSizeOf`) in combination with
//!   iteration can be a useful substitute.
//! - `Rc` and `Arc` are always tricky, which is why `MallocSizeOf` is not (and
//!   should not be) implemented for them.
//! - If an `Rc` or `Arc` is known to be a "primary" reference and can always
//!   be measured, it should be measured via the `MallocUnconditionalSizeOf`
//!   trait.
//! - If an `Rc` or `Arc` should be measured only if it hasn't been seen
//!   before, it should be measured via the `MallocConditionalSizeOf` trait.
//! - Using universal function call syntax is a good idea when measuring boxed
//!   fields in structs, because it makes it clear that the Box is being
//!   measured as well as the thing it points to. E.g.
//!   `<Box<_> as MallocSizeOf>::size_of(field, ops)`.
