Version 0.2.0

This minor release adds support for previously unsupported platforms! Thanks @alistair23!

The problem

Previously one could not compile for platforms like an ARM Cortex-M0 (thumbv6m-none-eabi), because this platform (among a few others) does not include a required atomic instruction. Therefore the code did not compile:

PR #32 adds support for this platforms with the caveats described in the spin-crate. One has to enable the new cargo-feature portable_atomic and also specify a signal, how the portable_atomic-crate should emulate the missing instructions. On single-core-systems one can pass a specific cfg (please consult the documentation of both spin and portable_atomic beforehand to prevent unsoundness):

Update procedure

To update the crate, simply run (if you already depend on it):

$ cargo update -p emballoc

If you want to use this as a new dependency in your Rust project, just add the following snippet to your Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
emballoc = "0.2.0"

and register the emballoc::Allocator as the global allocator:

#[global_allocator]
static ALLOCATOR: emballoc::Allocator<4096> = emballoc::Allocator::new();
