Module memory_allocation

Memory-allocation functions are out of scope for rustix.

It is possible to implement malloc, free, and similar functions in Rust, however rustix itself is focused on syscall-like functions. This module contains an incomplete list of such functions.

There are several allocator implementations for Rust; one of them is dlmalloc. For a rustix-based implementation, see rustix-dlmalloc. Another allocator implementation is talc.
