A general purpose memory allocator although this is really much a work in progress i think there are some good opportunities for otimization in a memory allocator for rust.

For example Rust gives you the size of memory region to free, which means the allocator does not have to track that.

Maybe Cloudflare’s pingora suits this purpose better given that it is being used by cloudflare to proxy traffic at a large scale

Yeah that just wastes both people’s time

Yeah that’s the fun part!

Maybe there are also some security implications of the code?

Because the thing is: That code is probably gonna end up in production somewhere

Hmm now it would be interesting how eyra fares for allocating. And also why does musl not implement a faster allocator? I get that it should be backwards compatible but the gap to glibc seems to be really large.

And then you find out you have that dependency but your linker decides to not take it and then you have it but a slightly other version and you decide it’s not worth it
