// rt/alloc.s — page allocator via the mmap syscall. // // rt_alloc(n: u64) returns a *void aligned at a page boundary, sized // to the next page multiple. Pair with rt_free(p, n). // // We pin to PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE and MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS so // callers never have to plumb file descriptors through. // // On mmap failure the raw syscall returns -errno (negative). Task #30 // graduated the `alloc` builtin to a fallible `(*T | nomem)` / // `([]T | nomem)` signature whose cgen branches on a null return, so // the failure path here returns 0 instead of a poisoned pointer. The // builtin's caller is expected to `!`/`?` the result.
