r-efi-alloc 2.1.0

//! UEFI Memory Allocators
//!
//! This module provides a memory allocator that integrates with the UEFI pool
//! allocator. It exports an `Allocator` type that wraps a System-Table
//! together with a UEFI memory type and forwards memory requests to the UEFI
//! pool allocator.
//!
//! The allocator implements the `core::alloc::Allocator` API defined by the
//! rust standard library. Furthermore, as an alternative to this unstable
//! standard library trait, raw alloc and dealloc functions are provided that
//! map to their equivalents from the `raw` module.
//!
//! The `core::alloc::Allocator` trait is only implemented if the
//! `allocator_api` feature is enabled. This requires a nightly / unstable
//! compiler. If the feature is not enabled, only the raw interface is
//! available.

/// Memory Allocator
///
/// This crate implements a rust memory allocator that forwards requests to the
/// UEFI pool allocator. It takes a System-Table as input, as well as the
/// memory type to use as backing, and then forwards all memory allocation
/// requests to the `AllocatePool()` UEFI system.
///
/// The `core::alloc::Allocator` trait is implemented for this allocator.
/// Hence, this allocator can also be used to back the global memory-allocator
/// of `liballoc` (or `libstd`). See the `Global` type for an implementation of
/// the global allocator, based on this type.

    /// This creates a new Allocator object from a UEFI System-Table pointer
    /// and the memory-type to use for allocations. That is, all allocations on
    /// this object will be tunnelled through the `AllocatePool` API on the
    /// given System-Table. Allocations will always use the memory type given
    /// as `memtype`.
    ///
    /// Note that this interface is unsafe, since the caller must guarantee
    /// that the System-Table is valid for as long as the Allocator is.
    /// Furthermore, the caller must guarantee validity of the
    /// system-table-interface. The latter is usually guaranteed by the
    /// provider of the System-Table. The former is usually just a matter of
    /// tearing down the allocator before returning from your application
    /// entry-point.
