slab-alloc

The slab allocator. This crate implements an allocator whose design is based on Jeff Bonwick's The Slab Allocator: An Object-Caching Kernel Memory Allocator.

The slab allocator is an object allocator - it allocates and caches objects of a fixed type, and provides performance improvements over a general-purpose allocator. The allocator types in this crate implement the ObjectAlloc and UntypedObjectAlloc traits defined in the object-alloc crate. The slab allocator implemented in this crate is currently single-threaded and cannot be accessed concurrently.
