//! Rust global allocator support for the in-tree mimalloc build.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use mimalloc_pprof::{prof, MiMalloc};
//! #[global_allocator] static ALLOCATOR: MiMalloc = MiMalloc;
//! # fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
//! prof::start(512 * 1024);
//! prof::dump_file(std::path::Path::new("heap.prof"))?;
//! # Ok(()) }
//! ```
//!
//! Profiling is enabled by default. To build the allocator without profiler
//! hooks, depend on this crate with `default-features = false`; in that mode the
//! profiling API remains available but cannot start a profiler.
//!
//! See the README's Rust integration guide for frame-pointer and line-table
//! build flags. Open the resulting profile with `pprof -http=: app.exe heap.prof`.
