A drop-in global allocator using the system's shared [mimalloc](https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc) library.

Mimalloc is a general purpose, performance oriented allocator built by Microsoft.

Probably only useful on Linux.

Use <[crates.io/crates/mimalloc](https://crates.io/crates/mimalloc)> if you want to hard-link

`mimalloc` to your program, to have more configuration options, and a higher platform compatibility.

## Usage

Simply add this line to your `main.rs`:

```rust

system_mimalloc::use_mimalloc!();

```

# Requirements

Make sure that `mimalloc` is installed, e.g.:

```sh

sudo apt install libmimalloc-dev

```
