#![no_std]
//! `snmalloc-rs` provides a wrapper for [`microsoft/snmalloc`](https://github.com/microsoft/snmalloc) to make it usable as a global allocator for rust.
//! snmalloc is a research allocator. Its key design features are:
//! - Memory that is freed by the same thread that allocated it does not require any synchronising operations.
//! - Freeing memory in a different thread to initially allocated it, does not take any locks and instead uses a novel message passing scheme to return the memory to the original allocator, where it is recycled.
//! - The allocator uses large ranges of pages to reduce the amount of meta-data required.
//!
//! The benchmark is available at the [paper](https://github.com/microsoft/snmalloc/blob/master/snmalloc.pdf) of `snmalloc`
//! There are three features defined in this crate:
//! - `debug`: Enable the `Debug` mode in `snmalloc`.
//! - `1mib`: Use the `1mib` chunk configuration.
//! - `cache-friendly`: Make the allocator more cache friendly (setting `CACHE_FRIENDLY_OFFSET` to `64` in building the library).
//!
//! The whole library supports `no_std`.
//!
//! To use `snmalloc-rs` add it as a dependency:
//! ```toml
//! # Cargo.toml
//! [dependencies]
//! snmalloc-rs = "0.1.0"
//! ```
//!
//! To set `SnMalloc` as the global allocator add this to your project:
//! ```rust
//! #[global_allocator]
//! static ALLOC: snmalloc_rs::SnMalloc = snmalloc_rs::SnMalloc;
//! ```
