# 内存分配器原理

Rust的内存管理系统中，分配器扮演着至关重要的角色。本文将深入探讨Rust的内存分配器原理，以及如何实现自定义分配器。

## 全局分配器

### 1. 系统分配器

```rust
use std::alloc::{GlobalAlloc, Layout, System};

// 系统默认分配器
struct MyAllocator;

unsafe impl GlobalAlloc for MyAllocator {
    unsafe fn alloc(&self, layout: Layout) -> *mut u8 {
        System.alloc(layout)
    }

unsafe fn dealloc(&self, ptr: *mut u8, layout: Layout) {
        System.dealloc(ptr, layout)
    }
}

// 设置全局分配器
#[global_allocator]
static ALLOCATOR: MyAllocator = MyAllocator;

fn main() {
    let v = vec![1, 2, 3]; // 使用自定义分配器
    println!("Vector: {:?}", v);
}
```

### 2. 分配器特征

```rust
use std::alloc::{GlobalAlloc, Layout};

// 自定义分配器必须实现GlobalAlloc特征
unsafe trait CustomAllocator {
    unsafe fn alloc(&self, layout: Layout) -> *mut u8;
    unsafe fn dealloc(&self, ptr: *mut u8, layout: Layout);
    
    // 可选方法
    unsafe fn alloc_zeroed(&self, layout: Layout) -> *mut u8 {
        let ptr = self.alloc(layout);
        if !ptr.is_null() {
            std::ptr::write_bytes(ptr, 0, layout.size());
        }
        ptr
    }
    
    unsafe fn realloc(
        &self,
        ptr: *mut u8,
        layout: Layout,
        new_size: usize
    ) -> *mut u8 {
        let new_layout = Layout::from_size_align_unchecked(new_size, layout.align());
        let new_ptr = self.alloc(new_layout);
        if !new_ptr.is_null() {
            std::ptr::copy_nonoverlapping(ptr, new_ptr, std::cmp::min(layout.size(), new_size));
            self.dealloc(ptr, layout);
        }
        new_ptr
    }
}
```

## 自定义分配器实现

### 1. 简单分配器

```rust
use std::alloc::{GlobalAlloc, Layout};
use std::cell::UnsafeCell;
use std::ptr::NonNull;

// 简单的块分配器
struct BlockAllocator {
    heap: UnsafeCell<Vec<u8>>,
}

impl BlockAllocator {
    const HEAP_SIZE: usize = 1024 * 1024; // 1MB堆
    
    fn new() -> Self {
        BlockAllocator {
            heap: UnsafeCell::new(vec![0; Self::HEAP_SIZE]),
        }
    }
}

unsafe impl GlobalAlloc for BlockAllocator {
    unsafe fn alloc(&self, layout: Layout) -> *mut u8 {
        let heap = &mut *self.heap.get();
        let align = layout.align();
        let size = layout.size();
        
        // 简单的首次适应算法
        let mut offset = 0;
        while offset + size <= heap.len() {
            if offset % align == 0 {
                return heap.as_mut_ptr().add(offset);
            }
            offset += 1;
        }
        std::ptr::null_mut()
    }

unsafe fn dealloc(&self, _ptr: *mut u8, _layout: Layout) {
        // 这个简单实现不会释放内存
    }
}
```

### 2. 池分配器

```rust
use std::alloc::{GlobalAlloc, Layout};
use std::cell::UnsafeCell;
use std::ptr::NonNull;

// 固定大小块的池分配器
struct PoolAllocator {
    blocks: UnsafeCell<Vec<Block>>,
}

struct Block {
    data: [u8; 64], // 固定大小的块
    is_used: bool,
}

impl PoolAllocator {
    const POOL_SIZE: usize = 1024; // 块数量
    
    fn new() -> Self {
        let mut blocks = Vec::with_capacity(Self::POOL_SIZE);
        for _ in 0..Self::POOL_SIZE {
            blocks.push(Block {
                data: [0; 64],
                is_used: false,
            });
        }
        PoolAllocator {
            blocks: UnsafeCell::new(blocks),
        }
    }
}

unsafe impl GlobalAlloc for PoolAllocator {
    unsafe fn alloc(&self, layout: Layout) -> *mut u8 {
        let blocks = &mut *self.blocks.get();
        
        // 查找未使用的块
        for block in blocks.iter_mut() {
            if !block.is_used && layout.size() <= 64 {
                block.is_used = true;
                return block.data.as_mut_ptr();
            }
        }
        std::ptr::null_mut()
    }

unsafe fn dealloc(&self, ptr: *mut u8, _layout: Layout) {
        let blocks = &mut *self.blocks.get();
        
        // 查找并释放块
        for block in blocks.iter_mut() {
            if block.data.as_mut_ptr() == ptr {
                block.is_used = false;
                return;
            }
        }
    }
}
```

## 高级分配器特性

### 1. 内存对齐

```rust
use std::alloc::{GlobalAlloc, Layout};

// 对齐分配器
struct AlignedAllocator;

unsafe impl GlobalAlloc for AlignedAllocator {
    unsafe fn alloc(&self, layout: Layout) -> *mut u8 {
        // 确保分配的内存满足对齐要求
        let size = layout.size();
        let align = layout.align();
        
        // 分配额外的空间以确保可以对齐
        let unaligned = System.alloc(Layout::from_size_align_unchecked(
            size + align - 1,
            align
        ));
        
        if unaligned.is_null() {
            return std::ptr::null_mut();
        }
        
        // 计算对齐后的地址
        let aligned = (unaligned as usize + align - 1) & !(align - 1);
        aligned as *mut u8
    }

unsafe fn dealloc(&self, ptr: *mut u8, layout: Layout) {
        // 需要记住原始分配的地址
        System.dealloc(ptr, layout);
    }
}
```

### 2. 统计和调试

```rust
use std::alloc::{GlobalAlloc, Layout};
use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicUsize, Ordering};

// 带统计功能的分配器
struct StatsAllocator {
    inner: System,
    allocations: AtomicUsize,
    deallocations: AtomicUsize,
    bytes_allocated: AtomicUsize,
}

impl StatsAllocator {
    fn new() -> Self {
        StatsAllocator {
            inner: System,
            allocations: AtomicUsize::new(0),
            deallocations: AtomicUsize::new(0),
            bytes_allocated: AtomicUsize::new(0),
        }
    }
    
    fn print_stats(&self) {
        println!("Allocations: {}", self.allocations.load(Ordering::Relaxed));
        println!("Deallocations: {}", self.deallocations.load(Ordering::Relaxed));
        println!("Bytes allocated: {}", self.bytes_allocated.load(Ordering::Relaxed));
    }
}

unsafe impl GlobalAlloc for StatsAllocator {
    unsafe fn alloc(&self, layout: Layout) -> *mut u8 {
        self.allocations.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
        self.bytes_allocated.fetch_add(layout.size(), Ordering::Relaxed);
        self.inner.alloc(layout)
    }

unsafe fn dealloc(&self, ptr: *mut u8, layout: Layout) {
        self.deallocations.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
        self.bytes_allocated.fetch_sub(layout.size(), Ordering::Relaxed);
        self.inner.dealloc(ptr, layout);
    }
}
```

## 最佳实践

### 1. 性能优化

```rust
use std::alloc::{GlobalAlloc, Layout};
use std::sync::Mutex;

// 缓存友好的分配器
struct CacheOptimizedAllocator {
    small_allocations: Mutex<Vec<(*mut u8, Layout)>>,
    large_allocations: Mutex<Vec<(*mut u8, Layout)>>,
}

impl CacheOptimizedAllocator {
    const SMALL_THRESHOLD: usize = 256;
    
    fn new() -> Self {
        CacheOptimizedAllocator {
            small_allocations: Mutex::new(Vec::new()),
            large_allocations: Mutex::new(Vec::new()),
        }
    }
}

unsafe impl GlobalAlloc for CacheOptimizedAllocator {
    unsafe fn alloc(&self, layout: Layout) -> *mut u8 {
        if layout.size() <= Self::SMALL_THRESHOLD {
            // 尝试重用小块内存
            let mut cache = self.small_allocations.lock().unwrap();
            if let Some((ptr, _)) = cache.pop() {
                return ptr;
            }
        }
        System.alloc(layout)
    }

unsafe fn dealloc(&self, ptr: *mut u8, layout: Layout) {
        if layout.size() <= Self::SMALL_THRESHOLD {
            // 缓存小块内存以供重用
            let mut cache = self.small_allocations.lock().unwrap();
            cache.push((ptr, layout));
            return;
        }
        System.dealloc(ptr, layout);
    }
}
```

### 2. 错误处理

```rust
use std::alloc::{GlobalAlloc, Layout};
use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicBool, Ordering};

// 带错误处理的分配器
struct SafeAllocator {
    inner: System,
    has_error: AtomicBool,
}

impl SafeAllocator {
    fn new() -> Self {
        SafeAllocator {
            inner: System,
            has_error: AtomicBool::new(false),
        }
    }
    
    fn check_error(&self) -> bool {
        self.has_error.load(Ordering::Relaxed)
    }
}

unsafe impl GlobalAlloc for SafeAllocator {
    unsafe fn alloc(&self, layout: Layout) -> *mut u8 {
        let ptr = self.inner.alloc(layout);
        if ptr.is_null() {
            self.has_error.store(true, Ordering::Relaxed);
            // 可以在这里记录错误或触发回调
        }
        ptr
    }

unsafe fn dealloc(&self, ptr: *mut u8, layout: Layout) {
        self.inner.dealloc(ptr, layout);
    }
}
```
