pub unsafe fn alloc_zeroed(layout: Layout) -> *mut u8
Available on crate feature
mtls
only.Expand description
Allocates zero-initialized memory with the global allocator.
This function forwards calls to the GlobalAlloc::alloc_zeroed
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 alloc_zeroed
method
of the Global
type when it and the Allocator
trait become stable.
§Safety
See GlobalAlloc::alloc_zeroed
.
§Examples
use std::alloc::{alloc_zeroed, dealloc, Layout};
unsafe {
let layout = Layout::new::<u16>();
let ptr = alloc_zeroed(layout);
assert_eq!(*(ptr as *mut u16), 0);
dealloc(ptr, layout);
}
