//! The arena, a fast but limited type of allocator. //! //! Arenas are a type of allocator that destroy the objects within, all at //! once, once the arena itself is destroyed. They do not support deallocation //! of individual objects while the arena itself is still alive. The benefit //! of an arena is very fast allocation; just a pointer bump. //! //! This crate implements several kinds of arena. #![doc( html_root_url = "https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/", test(no_crate_inject, attr(deny(warnings))) )] #![feature(dropck_eyepatch)] #![feature(new_uninit)] #![feature(maybe_uninit_slice)] #![feature(min_specialization)] #![feature(decl_macro)] #![feature(rustc_attrs)] #![cfg_attr(test, feature(test))] #![feature(strict_provenance)] use smallvec::SmallVec; use std::alloc::Layout; use std::cell::{Cell, RefCell}; use std::cmp; use std::marker::{PhantomData, Send}; use std::mem::{self, MaybeUninit}; use std::ptr; use std::slice; #[inline(never)] #[cold] fn cold_path R, R>(f: F) -> R { f() } /// An arena that can hold objects of only one type. pub struct TypedArena { /// A pointer to the next object to be allocated. ptr: Cell<*mut T>, /// A pointer to the end of the allocated area.
