Rust-specific memory debugging, tangentially relevant but not core.
Summary
The thread discusses the possibility that memory issues in Rust services often attributed to leaks may actually stem from allocator behavior, such as fragmentation or delayed deallocation. Without comments, the discussion is nascent, but the title suggests a focus on debugging memory usage by examining allocator choice (e.g., jemalloc vs. mimalloc) rather than assuming code leaks.
