tikv-jemallocator

This project is the successor of jemallocator.

The project is published as tikv-jemallocator and jemallocator for historical reasons. The two crates are the same except names. It's OK to use either crate. But due to lack of permissions, only jemallocator and jemalloc-sys are updated. If you want to use other crates, tikv-xxx versions are still required.

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:

• tikv-jemalloc-sys: builds and links against jemalloc exposing raw C bindings to it.
• tikv-jemallocator: provides the Jemalloc type which implements the GlobalAlloc and Alloc traits.
• tikv-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)

To use tikv-jemallocator add it as a dependency:

# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]

[target.'cfg(not(target_env = "msvc"))'.dependencies]
tikv-jemallocator = "0.5"

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

# main.rs
#[cfg(not(target_env = "msvc"))]
use tikv_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 tikv-jemallocator and tikv-jemalloc-sys tests pass on the target?
• jemalloc: do tikv-jemalloc's tests pass on the target?

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