# jemallocator

[![Travis-CI Status]][travis] [![Appveyor Status]][appveyor] [![Latest Version]][crates.io] [![docs]][docs.rs]

> 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)][docs.rs]
* [Master branch][master_docs]

To use `jemallocator` add it as a dependency:

```toml
# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
jemallocator = "0.3.0"
```

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

```rust
extern crate jemallocator;

#[global_allocator]
static ALLOC: jemallocator::Jemalloc = jemallocator::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.
