system-mimalloc – use the system's shared mimalloc library as allocator

A drop-in global allocator using the system's shared mimalloc library. Mimalloc is a general purpose, performance oriented allocator built by Microsoft.

Probably only useful on Linux. Use <crates.io/crates/mimalloc> if you want to hard-link mimalloc to your program, to have more configuration options, and a higher platform compatibility.

Usage

Simply add this line to your main.rs:

system_mimalloc::use_mimalloc!();

Requirements

Make sure that mimalloc is installed, e.g.:

sudo apt install libmimalloc-dev
