mimalloc

mimalloc is a compact general purpose allocator with excellent performance.

Run the following Vcpkg command to install the port.

vcpkg install mimalloc

mimalloc provides CMake targets:

find_package(mimalloc CONFIG REQUIRED)

target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE $<IF:$<TARGET_EXISTS:mimalloc-static>,mimalloc-static,mimalloc)

To ensure the mimalloc-override.dll is loaded at runtime on Windows with

dynamic linkage, it is suggested to insert some call to the mimalloc API

in the main function, eg. `mi_version()`. Cf.
