tralloc: tracing allocator for Rust

This project allows you to log all the allocations to stderr, stdout or a file.

To use it, register the global allocator and activate it:

```rust

![feature(global_allocator)]

extern crate tracing_allocator;

use std::fs::File;

[global_allocator]

static GLOBAL: tracingallocator::Allocator = tracingallocator::Allocator{};

fn main() { tracingallocator::Allocator::writetostderr(); tracingallocator::Allocator::activate();

let s = String::from("Hello world!");

let mut v = Vec::new(); v.push(1); ```

The following will be printed:

rust 00029801ACDA259B A 00007FB780500000 000000000000000C 00029801ACDB7EFB A 00007FB780500010 0000000000000010 00029801ACDBAAC1 D 00007FB780500010 0000000000000010 00029801ACDBCD09 D 00007FB780500000 000000000000000C

Columns:

• time (monotonic, so not linked to any timezone)
• A for allocation, D for deallocation
• memory address
• size

You can use the activate and deactivate methods to start and stop collection at any time.

Note

This repository is based on tracing_allocator. It was forked because of breaking changes in Rust internals and lack of communication from the original author.
