//! Helper macros to use with the QADAPT allocator system
//!
//! This crate is unusable on its own, but because `proc_macro` crates
//! can't export non-proc-macro symbols, we have to go through an extra step
//! to move these up.
//! This crate is intended for managing the QADAPT allocator,
//! and is unusable on its own.
//!
//! Ultimately, this does actually work because we don't need to actually use
//! references to the underlying functionality here, we just need to know
//! where they will ultimately end up at.
// TODO: This causes issues, but I can't track down why

//! 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.
//!
//! Because QADAPT panics on allocation and is rather slow (for an allocator) it is **strongly**
//! recommended that QADAPT (the allocator) be used only in code tests. Functions annotated with
//! `#[allocate_panic]` will have no side effects if the QADAPT allocator is not being used,
//! so the attribute is safe to leave everywhere.
