jemallocator

Links against jemalloc and provides a Jemalloc unit type that implements the allocator APIs and can be set as the #[global_allocator]

Overview

The jemalloc support ecosystem consists of the following crates:

• jemalloc-sys: builds and links against jemalloc exposing raw C bindings to it.
• jemallocator: provides the Jemalloc type which implements the GlobalAlloc and Alloc traits.
• jemalloc-ctl: high-level wrapper over jemalloc's control and introspection APIs (the mallctl*() family of functions and the MALLCTL NAMESPACE)'

Documentation

• Latest release (docs.rs)
• Master branch

To use jemallocator add it as a dependency:

# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]

[target.'cfg(not(target_env = "msvc"))'.dependencies]
jemallocator = "0.3.2"

To set jemallocator::Jemalloc as the global allocator add this to your project:

# main.rs
#[cfg(not(target_env = "msvc"))]
use jemallocator::Jemalloc;

#[cfg(not(target_env = "msvc"))]
#[global_allocator]
static GLOBAL: Jemalloc = Jemalloc;

And that's it! Once you've defined this static then jemalloc will be used for all allocations requested by Rust code in the same program.

Platform support

The following table describes the supported platforms:

• build: does the library compile for the target?
• run: do jemallocator and jemalloc-sys tests pass on the target?
• jemalloc: do jemalloc's tests pass on the target?
• valgrind: do the tests pass under valgrind?

Tier 1 targets are tested on all Rust channels (stable, beta, and nightly). All other targets are only tested on Rust nightly.

Features

The jemallocator crate re-exports the features of the jemalloc-sys dependency.
