parity-util-mem

Collection of memory related utilities.

Features

• volatile-erase : Not set by default, Memzero struct will be erasing memory through a simple write_volatile call.
• estimate-heapsize : Do not use allocator, but size_of or size_of_val.

Others features define global allocator, see src/alloc.rs.

Dependency

This crate groups common dependency, clear_on_drop is reexported, and a patched copy of unpublished malloc_size_of from servo project is copied and partially reexported.

Malloc_size_of code is used internally as a module with a few modification to be able to implement type locally.
