sefer-alloc 0.1.0

A safe-by-construction, 100% Rust memory toolkit (no C/C++ libraries — no libnuma/mimalloc/jemalloc/snmalloc/tcmalloc): a single-threaded handle store (Region<T>) and a drop-in #[global_allocator] (SeferMalloc) over one verified segment substrate, with #![forbid(unsafe_code)] at the top.
Documentation
//! Phase 35 (M6 decommit) soak + bookkeeping test (`alloc-decommit`).
//!
//! Safety-sensitive: a use-after-free on a decommitted page is the worst
//! failure mode. This test asserts the BOOKKEEPING of the decommit machinery,
//! not RSS (RSS is not portably measurable and is a no-op under miri):
//!
//!   1. **Decommit fires on empty.** Under sustained churn that fully empties a
//!      non-current small segment, `live_count` reaches zero and the decommit
//!      hook is invoked (the process-wide `dbg_decommit_count` advances). This
//!      is the counterfactual anchor: if the live-count proviso were miswired
//!      (e.g. never reaching zero, or the non-current check inverted), the count
//!      stays at zero and the test goes RED.
//!
//!   2. **Recommit + readback is correct.** After a segment is decommitted, a
//!      fresh round of allocation reuses it (recommitting its payload); every
//!      reused block must accept a write and read it back unchanged. A broken
//!      recommit (writing into still-decommitted pages on Windows) would fault
//!      or read garbage here.
//!
//!   3. **live_count accounting is exact.** A simple alloc-all/free-all cycle
//!      drives a tracked segment's `live_count` up by the number of own-thread
//!      allocations and back to zero on free-all.
//!
//! Under miri `os::decommit_pages` / `recommit_pages` are no-ops, so the pages
//! stay accessible — but the live-count bookkeeping, the zero-crossing, the
//! decommit-hook call, and the reset all still run, so miri verifies the
//! accounting + the reset's soundness (no OOB write during reset, no UAF on
//! reuse) even though it cannot observe RSS.
