Usage
This library is available on crates.io and
can be used by adding the following to your project's
Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
malloced = "1.3.1"
The star of the show is Malloced
, Box
-like pointer that calls free
on
Drop

MSRV
This library's minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is 1.64. A new version requirement would result in a minor version update.
FFI Safety
Malloced<T>
is a #[repr(transparent)]
wrapper over NonNull<T>
, so it can
be safely used in C FFI. For example, the following is safe and even compiles
with the improper_ctypes
lint enabled:
#[deny(improper_ctypes)]
extern "C" {
fn my_array_malloc() -> Malloced<[u8; 32]>;
}
