std::alloc::Global - Rust
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 `AllocRef` 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`.
