lib.rs:

memalloc

Memory allocation in stable rust, providing a similar interface to std::rt::heap, notably these functions align everything according to the alignment of u8, rather than using a user-provided alignment.

Additionally, they do not allow for handling allocation failure, and will simply abort the process on OOM. Unfortunately, this limitation is unavoidable if we want to use only stable APIs.

No runtime deps
