# balloc

**Bounded allocation for Rust.**

[docs.rs](https://docs.rs/balloc)

This crate provides a wrapper over `Vec` so that boundedness constraints can be enforced.

Such constraints are useful when dealing with untrusted input where the other party

sends you a zip bomb or similar. Either, you rely on operating system facilities to

handle your program when it crashes, or you use balloc with reasonable bounds to

prevent the OS having to get involved in the first place.

The crate is designed to use language features to make doing the checks wrongly

as hard as possible.

Right now, this crate only provides `Vec` wrappers.

At a later point in time, wrappers for other data structures of std fame might be added.
