esp_alloc/

lib.rs

//! A `no_std` heap allocator for RISC-V and Xtensa processors from
//! Espressif. Supports all currently available ESP32 devices.
//!
//! **NOTE:** using this as your global allocator requires using Rust 1.68 or
//! greater, or the `nightly` release channel.
//!
//! # Using this as your Global Allocator
//!
//! ```rust
//! use esp_alloc as _;
//!
//! fn init_heap() {
//!     const HEAP_SIZE: usize = 32 * 1024;
//!     static mut HEAP: MaybeUninit<[u8; HEAP_SIZE]> = MaybeUninit::uninit();
//!
//!     unsafe {
//!         esp_alloc::HEAP.add_region(esp_alloc::HeapRegion::new(
//!             HEAP.as_mut_ptr() as *mut u8,
//!             HEAP_SIZE,
//!             esp_alloc::MemoryCapability::Internal.into(),
//!         ));
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Alternatively, you can use the `heap_allocator!` macro to configure the
//! global allocator with a given size:
//!
//! ```rust
//! esp_alloc::heap_allocator!(size: 32 * 1024);
//! ```
//!
//! # Using this with the nightly `allocator_api`-feature
//!
//! Sometimes you want to have more control over allocations.
//!
//! For that, it's convenient to use the nightly `allocator_api`-feature,
//! which allows you to specify an allocator for single allocations.
//!
//! **NOTE:** To use this, you have to enable the crate's `nightly` feature
//! flag.
//!
//! Create and initialize an allocator to use in single allocations:
//!
//! ```rust
//! static PSRAM_ALLOCATOR: esp_alloc::EspHeap = esp_alloc::EspHeap::empty();
//!
//! fn init_psram_heap() {
//!     unsafe {
//!         PSRAM_ALLOCATOR.add_region(esp_alloc::HeapRegion::new(
//!             psram::psram_vaddr_start() as *mut u8,
//!             psram::PSRAM_BYTES,
//!             esp_alloc::MemoryCapability::External.into(),
//!         ));
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! And then use it in an allocation:
//!
//! ```rust
//! let large_buffer: Vec<u8, _> = Vec::with_capacity_in(1048576, &PSRAM_ALLOCATOR);
//! ```
//!
//! Alternatively, you can use the `psram_allocator!` macro to configure the
//! global allocator to use PSRAM:
//!
//! ```rust
//! let p = esp_hal::init(esp_hal::Config::default());
//! esp_alloc::psram_allocator!(p.PSRAM, esp_hal::psram);
//! ```
//!
//! You can also use the `ExternalMemory` allocator to allocate PSRAM memory
//! with the global allocator:
//!
//! ```rust
//! let p = esp_hal::init(esp_hal::Config::default());
//! esp_alloc::psram_allocator!(p.PSRAM, esp_hal::psram);
//!
//! let mut vec = Vec::<u32>::new_in(esp_alloc::ExternalMemory);
//! ```
//!
//! ## `allocator_api` feature on stable Rust
//!
//! `esp-alloc` implements the allocator trait from [`allocator_api2`], which
//! provides the nightly-only `allocator_api` features in stable Rust. The crate
//! contains implementations for `Box` and `Vec`.
//!
//! To use the `allocator_api2` features, you need to add the crate to your
//! `Cargo.toml`. Note that we do not enable the `alloc` feature by default, but
//! you will need it for the `Box` and `Vec` types.
//!
//! ```toml
//! allocator-api2 = { version = "0.3", default-features = false, features = ["alloc"] }
//! ```
//!
//! With this, you can use the `Box` and `Vec` types from `allocator_api2`, with
//! `esp-alloc` allocators:
//!
//! ```rust
//! let p = esp_hal::init(esp_hal::Config::default());
//! esp_alloc::heap_allocator!(size: 64000);
//! esp_alloc::psram_allocator!(p.PSRAM, esp_hal::psram);
//!
//! let mut vec: Vec<u32, _> = Vec::new_in(esp_alloc::InternalMemory);
//!
//! vec.push(0xabcd1234);
//! assert_eq!(vec[0], 0xabcd1234);
//! ```
//!
//! Note that if you use the nightly `allocator_api` feature, you can use the
//! `Box` and `Vec` types from `alloc`. `allocator_api2` is still available as
//! an option, but types from `allocator_api2` are not compatible with the
//! standard library types.
//!
//! # Heap stats
//!
//! You can also get stats about the heap usage at anytime with:
//!
//! ```rust
//! let stats: HeapStats = esp_alloc::HEAP.stats();
//! // HeapStats implements the Display and defmt::Format traits, so you can
//! // pretty-print the heap stats.
//! println!("{}", stats);
//! ```
//!
//! Example output:
//!
//! ```txt
//! HEAP INFO
//! Size: 131068
//! Current usage: 46148
//! Max usage: 46148
//! Total freed: 0
//! Total allocated: 46148
//! Memory Layout:
//! Internal | ████████████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ | Used: 35% (Used 46148 of 131068, free: 84920)
//! ```
