pub fn scavenger_stop()
Expand description

Stop the background scavenger thread (issue #272).

It restarts on demand (the next park_while_idle, or the next thread that initializes), so this is a way to quiesce it – e.g. before a fork/exec that counts threads, or in a test – not a way to disable it permanently. For that, set the scavenger option to 0 (MIMALLOC_SCAVENGER=0) before the first allocation.
