    //! # The Rust core allocation library
    //!
    //! This is the lowest level library through which allocation in Rust can be
    //! performed.
    //!
    //! This library, like libcore, is not intended for general usage, but rather as
    //! a building block of other libraries. The types and interfaces in this
    //! library are reexported through the [standard library](../std/index.html),
    //! and should not be used through this library.
    //!
    //! Currently, there are four major definitions in this library.
    //!
    //! ## Boxed values
    //!
    //! The [`Box`](boxed/index.html) type is a smart pointer type. There can
    //! only be one owner of a `Box`, and the owner can decide to mutate the
    //! contents, which live on the heap.
    //!
    //! This type can be sent among threads efficiently as the size of a `Box` value
    //! is the same as that of a pointer. Tree-like data structures are often built
    //! with boxes because each node often has only one owner, the parent.
    //!
    //! ## Reference counted pointers
    //!
    //! The [`Rc`](rc/index.html) type is a non-threadsafe reference-counted pointer
    //! type intended for sharing memory within a thread. An `Rc` pointer wraps a
    //! type, `T`, and only allows access to `&T`, a shared reference.
    //!
    //! This type is useful when inherited mutability (such as using `Box`) is too
    //! constraining for an application, and is often paired with the `Cell` or
    //! `RefCell` types in order to allow mutation.
    //!
    //! ## Atomically reference counted pointers
    //!
    //! The [`Arc`](arc/index.html) type is the threadsafe equivalent of the `Rc`
    //! type. It provides all the same functionality of `Rc`, except it requires
    //! that the contained type `T` is shareable. Additionally, `Arc<T>` is itself
    //! sendable while `Rc<T>` is not.
    //!
    //! This types allows for shared access to the contained data, and is often
    //! paired with synchronization primitives such as mutexes to allow mutation of
    //! shared resources.
    //!
    //! ## Heap interfaces
    //!
    //! The [`heap`](heap/index.html) module defines the low-level interface to the
    //! default global allocator. It is not compatible with the libc allocator API.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
