buddy_system_allocator

An (almost) drop-in replacement for phil-opp/linked-list-allocator. But it uses buddy system instead.

Usage

To use buddy_system_allocator for global allocator:

use buddy_system_allocator::LockedHeap;

#[global_allocator]
static HEAP_ALLOCATOR: LockedHeap = LockedHeap::<32>::empty();

To init the allocator:

unsafe {
    HEAP_ALLOCATOR.lock().init(heap_start, heap_size);
    // or
    HEAP_ALLOCATOR.lock().add_to_heap(heap_start, heap_end);
}

You can also use FrameAllocator and LockedHeapWithRescue, see their documentation for usage.

Features

• use_spin (default): Provide a LockedHeap type that implements the GlobalAlloc trait by using a spinlock.
• const_fn (nightly only): Provide const fn version of LockedHeapWithRescue::new.
