Subject: [PATCH 02/22] rust: remove unused global qemu "allocator"
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2025 14:41:24 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250827104147.717203-3-marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250827104147.717203-1-marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>
From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>
The global allocator has always been disabled. There is no clear reason
Rust and C should use the same allocator. Allocations made from Rust
must be freed by Rust, and same for C, otherwise we head into troubles.
