This Rust module provides a memory allocation Arena for types that implement Copy.

Documentation

Examples

```rust extern crate copy_arena;

use copy_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new(); let mut allocator = arena.allocator();

let a: &mut i32 = allocator.alloc(5); let b: &mut f64 = allocator.allocdefault(); let c: &mut [u8] = allocator.allocslice(b"some text"); let b: &mut [usize] = allocator.allocslicefn(10, |idx| idx + 1); let e: &mut [u32] = allocator.allocslicedefault(10); ```

Compared to std::arena::Arena

This differs from the (unstable) Arena in Rust's standard library in a couple of ways:

• This Arena only supports Copy-able objects -- no destructors are executed.
• This Arena does not use dynamic borrow checking, saving two RefCells and an Rc before getting to the underlying data to allocate from but leading to a slightly less convenient API.
