libmimalloc-sys fails to build for wasm target on Windows
Boscop opened this issue · comments
Not sure if this allocator is intended to also work for wasm, but in my frontend I need speed more than size (it's a UI for a desktop application), so I thought I'd try it..
But it fails to build for wasm:
error[E0432]: unresolved imports `libc::c_void`, `libc::size_t`
--> C:\Users\me\.cargo\registry\src\github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823\libmimalloc-sys-0.1.9\src\lib.rs:3:12

@octavonce Ah, right. It seems you're only using c_void
and size_t
from libc
, right?
Could you please use the types from std::os::raw
instead? Specifically c_void
. (And size_t
is always defined as usize
, so you can use that.)
It's more idiomatic to not depend on libc unless it's really necessary, I also switched my ffi crates to use those types.
It would be sad if these types would prevent this allocator from building for wasm..
