Rust

//! This is a module that provides `malloc` and `free` for `libdeflate`.
//! These implementations are compatible with the standard signatures
//! but use Rust allocator instead of including libc one as well.
//!
//! Rust allocator APIs requires passing size and alignment to the
//! `dealloc` function. This is different from C API, which only
//! expects a pointer in `free` and expects allocators to take care of
//! storing any necessary information elsewhere.
//!
//! In order to simulate C API, we allocate a `size_and_data_ptr`
//! of size `sizeof(usize) + size` where `size` is the requested number
//! of bytes. Then, we store `size` at the beginning of the allocated
//! chunk (within those `sizeof(usize)` bytes) and return
//! `data_ptr = size_and_data_ptr + sizeof(usize)` to the calleer:
//!
//! [`size`][...actual data]
//! -^------------------ `size_and_data_ptr`
//! ---------^---------- `data_ptr`
//!
//! Then, in `free`, the caller gives us `data_ptr`. We can subtract
//! `sizeof(usize)` back and get the original `size_and_data_ptr`.
//! At this point we can read `size` back and call the Rust `dealloc`
//! for the whole allocated chunk.
//!
//! I've raised an upstream issue to hopefully make this easier in
//! future: https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate/issues/62
