Crate ralloc [−] [src]

Ralloc: The memory efficient allocator.

This crates define the user space allocator for Redox, which emphasizes performance and memory efficiency.

Ralloc seems to reimplement everything. Why?

Memory allocators cannot depend on libraries or primitives, which allocates. This is a relatively strong condition, which means that you are forced to rewrite primitives and make sure no allocation ever happens.
