3 //! So far the kernel's `Box` and `Vec` types can't be used by userspace test cases, since all users
4 //! of those types (e.g. `CString`) use kernel allocators for instantiation.
5 //!
6 //! In order to allow userspace test cases to make use of such types as well, implement the
7 //! `Cmalloc` allocator within the allocator_test module and type alias all kernel allocators to
8 //! `Cmalloc`. The `Cmalloc` allocator uses libc's `realloc()` function as allocator backend.
