rust-malloc | A pure Rust memory allocator

rust-malloc is a Rust library. rust-malloc has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However rust-malloc has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

A pure-Rust proof-of-concept implementation of malloc/free for x86-64 Linux. It is very, very basic: a linked list of allocations (traversed on every malloc call!), first-fit strategy and all allocations come directly from the brk syscall. As such, it is very slow, not-threadsafe and generally bad. There is little-to-no error checking. Uses a modified version of zero.rs and a tiny syscall wrapper. Requires a recent rustc from master. There is an example of a custom version of ~T using this allocator at the bottom of malloc.rs.
