As I said in rust-lang/wg-allocators#97, the fact that calls to
grow
,grow_zeroed
, andshrink
may request altered alignments is surprising and may be a pitfall for implementors ofAllocator
if it's left implicit. This pull request adds a note to the "Safety" section of each function's docs making it explicit.
