Description: API documentation for the Rust `Global` struct in crate `std`.
Keywords: rust, rustlang, rust-lang, Global

# [−][src]Struct std::alloc::Global

    pub struct Global;

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`allocator_api` #32838)

The global memory allocator.

This type implements the `Alloc` trait by forwarding calls to the allocator registered with the `#[global_allocator]` attribute if there is one, or the `std` crate’s default.

Note: while this type is unstable, the functionality it provides can be accessed through the free functions in `alloc`.

## 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`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
