//! A `malloc`-ed box pointer type, brought to you by

//! If this project is useful to you, please consider
//! [sponsoring me](https://github.com/sponsors/nvzqz) or
//! [donating directly](https://www.paypal.me/nvzqz)!
//!
//! Doing so enables me to create high-quality open source software like this. ❤️
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! This library is available [on crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/malloced) and
//! can be used by adding the following to your project's
//! [`Cargo.toml`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html):
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! malloced = "1.0.1"
//! ```
//!
//! The star of the show is [`Malloced`], [`Box`]-like pointer that calls `free` on
//! [`Drop`]:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use malloced::Malloced;
//! ```
//!
//! # MSRV
//!
//! This library's minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is 1.30. A new version
//! requirement would result in a minor version update.
//!
//! If the `pin` feature is enabled, the MSRV is 1.33.
//!
//! # FFI Safety
//!
//! `Malloced<T>` is a `#[repr(transparent)]` wrapper over `NonNull<T>`, so it can
//! be safely used in C FFI. For example, the following is safe and even compiles
//! with the `improper_ctypes` lint enabled:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use malloced::Malloced;
//! #[deny(improper_ctypes)]
//! extern "C" {
//!     fn my_array_malloc() -> Malloced<[u8; 32]>;
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Alternatives
//!
//! - [`malloc_buf`](https://docs.rs/malloc_buf)
//! - [`mbox`](https://docs.rs/mbox)
//!
//! # License
//!
//! This project is released under either
//! [MIT License](https://github.com/nvzqz/malloced/blob/master/LICENSE-MIT) or
//! [Apache License (Version 2.0)](https://github.com/nvzqz/malloced/blob/master/LICENSE-APACHE)
