Function dealloc

1.28.0
pub unsafe fn dealloc(ptr: *mut u8, layout: Layout)
Expand description

Deallocates memory with the global allocator.

This function forwards calls to the GlobalAlloc::dealloc method of the allocator registered with the #[global_allocator] attribute if there is one, or the std crate’s default.

This function is expected to be deprecated in favor of the dealloc method of the [Global] type when it and the [Allocator] trait become stable.

§Safety

See GlobalAlloc::dealloc.
