# Mimalloc Rust
[![Latest Version]][crates.io] [![Documentation]][docs.rs]
A drop-in global allocator wrapper around the [mimalloc](https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc) allocator.
Mimalloc is a general purpose, performance oriented allocator built by Microsoft.
## Usage
```rust
use mimalloc::MiMalloc;
#[global_allocator]
static GLOBAL: MiMalloc = MiMalloc;
```
## Requirements
A __C__ compiler is required for building [mimalloc](https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc) with cargo.
## Usage with secure mode
Using secure mode adds guard pages,
randomized allocation, encrypted free lists, etc. The performance penalty is usually
around 10% according to [mimalloc](https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc)
own benchmarks.
To enable secure mode, put in `Cargo.toml`:
```ini
[dependencies]
mimalloc = { version = "*", features = ["secure"] }
```
