//! # The Quick And Dirty Allocation Profiling Tool
//!
//! This allocator is a helper for writing high-performance code that is allocation/drop free;
//! for functions annotated with `#[allocate_panic]`, QADAPT will detect when allocations/drops
//! happen during their execution (and execution of any functions they call) and throw a
//! thread panic if this occurs. QADAPT-related code is *stripped out during release builds*,
//! so no worries about random allocations crashing in production.
//!
//! Currently this crate is Nightly-only, but will work once `const fn` is in Stable.
//!
//! Please also take a look at [qadapt-macro](https://github.com/bspeice/qadapt/tree/master/qadapt-macro)
//! for some helper macros to make working with QADAPT a bit easier.
