为什么Valgrind无法检测到使用nightly 1.29.0版本的Rust程序中的内存泄漏问题？

Question

我正在尝试使用Valgrind检测Rust程序中的内存泄漏，按照这篇博客文章所述。我的源代码很简单：

#![feature(alloc_system)]
extern crate alloc_system;

use std::mem;

fn allocate() {
    let bad_vec = vec![0u8; 1024*1024];
    mem::forget(bad_vec);
}

fn main() {
    allocate();
}

我希望调用mem::forget()会导致内存泄漏并且Valgrind能够检测到它。但是，当我运行Valgrind时，它报告没有可能的泄漏:

我已经升级到最新的夜版（1.29.0-nightly (6a1c0637c 2018-07-23)）。

我错过了什么？

Rust 1.32

从 Rust 1.32 开始，可执行文件的 默认分配器 是 系统分配器，因此您无需默认设置任何内容。

以前的版本

您没有正确使用全局分配器设置。这是一个 nightly 功能，这意味着它随时可能会更改。你的博客文章已经过时了。

请查看模块文档 std::alloc 以查看正确的用法：

#![feature(alloc_system)]
extern crate alloc_system;

#[global_allocator]
static GLOBAL: alloc_system::System = alloc_system::System;

use std::mem;

fn allocate() {
    let bad_vec = vec![0u8; 1024*1024];
    mem::forget(bad_vec);
}

fn main() {
    allocate();
}
