A global, thread-safe memory pool

A Rust library providing a global, thread-safe memory pool, ideal for when you need a temporary scratch buffer but you don't want to be constantly allocating memory.

rust memory_pool::borrow( |aux: &mut String| { aux.push_str( "Do you like cupcakes?" ); });

rust memory_pool::borrow( |vec: &mut Vec< u32 >| { vec.push( 1 ); vec.push( 2 ); vec.push( 3 ); }); You can also manually acquire and release memory:

rust let buffer: String = memory_pool::acquire(); buffer.push_str( "I like cupcakes!" ); memory_pool::release( buffer );

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] memory-pool = "0.0.1"

Then add this to your crate root:

rust extern crate memory_pool;
