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