Research custom allocators (jemalloc/mimalloc) if they could bring better performance

It looks like jemalloc brought improvements to Rust Analyzer:

• Benchmark with different allocators rust-lang/rust-analyzer#1441
• internal: Use jemalloc in releases rust-lang/rust-analyzer#17007

It would be awesome to verify that one of these two would also improve CairoLS. For this, we need a reproducible benchmark code, though.

Could you plz give me some more crates like jemallocator, snmalloc, mimalloc and so on?
I need to pick global allocator crates as many as possible and select which allocator is the best for our project performance.

Hey! These three are the only popular choices I know of.

I built snmalloc as a global allocator in my project, and only I got errors with snmalloc.
The others did work as well. Do you know about the reason?

No idea. What were the errors?

FROM lukemathwalker/cargo-chef:latest-rust-1 AS chef
WORKDIR /app

# Builds a cargo-chef plan
FROM chef AS planner
COPY . .
RUN cargo chef prepare --recipe-path recipe.json

FROM chef AS builder
COPY --from=planner /app/recipe.json recipe.json
...

It is a part of my Dockerfile.
I got errors with this part in snmalloc-sys.

out of thin air, I have no idea what might be wrong

That's it.

looks like you haven't installed cmake in your container

I added command to install cmake in docker container, and built again.
As a result, the error is diappeard.
