[PATCH 05/10] rust: alloc: introduce allocation flags

From: Wedson Almeida Filho
Date: Mon Mar 25 2024 - 15:56:58 EST


From: Wedson Almeida Filho <walmeida@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We'll use them when allocating `Box`, `Arc`, and `UniqueArc` instances,
as well as when allocating memory for `Vec` elements. These changes will
come in subsequent patches.
