AllocFooter

Private Struct
std.heap.SafeAllocator.AllocFooter
const AllocFooter = struct

Trails the allocation, which has the following advantages:

  • For buckets, the footer of the last allocation is always at the current fill.
  • Aligning the allocation is simpler and wastes less space.
  • Allocation overwrites are more likely to be caught by the footer getting corrupted. For bucket allocs, this is trailed by [2][stack_trace_size]usize. For large allocs, this is trailed by [1][stack_trace_size]usize.

Fields

checksum: u32

Hash of data with the seed as the hash of its address so that memcpys of allocation metadata are detected or are at least caught across runs.

This stored value is xored with the canary value so that canary mismatches are detected.

modify: Modify

Accesed atomically with .monotonic ordering to catch operation races.

This stored value is xored with the hash of its address so that memcpys of allocation metadata are detected or are at least caught across runs.

data: Data
_: void = {}

8: minimum alignment for Bucket allocations @alignOf(usize): so that the offset of trailing data is at @sizeOf(@This())

It is the caller's responsibility to .acquire fence the respective Bucket.alloc_count.
