// When linking a final binary, rustc has to pick between either:
// * The default Rust allocator
// * Any #[global_allocator] defined in *any rlib in its dependency tree*
// (https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2018/platform-and-target-support/global-allocators.html)
//
// In this latter case, this fact will be recorded in some of the metadata
// within the .rlib file. (An .rlib file is just a .a file, but does have
// additional metadata for use by rustc. This is, as far as I know, the only
// such metadata we would ideally care about.)
//
// In all the linked rlibs,
// * If 0 crates define a #[global_allocator], rustc uses its default allocator
// * If 1 crate defines a #[global_allocator], rustc uses that
// * If >1 crates define a #[global_allocator], rustc bombs out.
//
// Because rustc does these checks, it doesn't just have the __rust_alloc
// symbols defined anywhere (neither in the stdlib nor in any of these
// crates which have a #[global_allocator] defined.)
//
// Instead:
// Rust's final linking stage invokes dynamic LLVM codegen to create symbols
// for the basic heap allocation operations. It literally creates a
// __rust_alloc symbol at link time. Unless any crate has specified a
// #[global_allocator], it simply calls from __rust_alloc into
// __rdl_alloc, which is the default Rust allocator. The same applies to a
// few other symbols.
//
// We're not (always) using rustc for final linking. For cases where we're not
// Rustc as the final linker, we'll define those symbols here instead.
//
// In future, we may wish to do something different from using the Rust
// default allocator (e.g. explicitly redirect to PartitionAlloc). We could
// do that here, or we could build a crate with a #[global_allocator] and
// redirect these symbols to that crate instead. The advantage of the latter
// is that it would work equally well for those cases where rustc is doing
// the final linking.
