Enum pyembed::MemoryAllocatorBackend

pub enum MemoryAllocatorBackend {
    Default,
    Jemalloc,
    Mimalloc,
    Snmalloc,
    Rust,
}

Defines a backend for a memory allocator.

This says which memory allocator API / library to configure the Python interpreter to use.

Not all allocators are available in all program builds.

Serialization type: string

Variants

Default

The default allocator as configured by Python.

This likely utilizes the system default allocator, normally the malloc(), free(), etc functions from the libc implementation being linked against.

Serialized value: default

Jemalloc

Use the jemalloc allocator.

Requires the binary to be built with jemalloc support.

Never available on Windows.

Serialized value: jemalloc

Mimalloc

Use the mimalloc allocator (https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc).

Requires the binary to be built with mimalloc support.

Serialized value: mimalloc

Snmalloc

Use the snmalloc allocator (https://github.com/microsoft/snmalloc).

Not always available.

Serialized value: snmalloc

Rust

Use Rust’s global allocator.

The Rust allocator is less efficient than other allocators because of overhead tracking allocations. For optimal performance, use the default allocator. Or if Rust is using a custom global allocator, use the enum variant corresponding to that allocator.

Serialized value: rust

Trait Implementations
