I have no ideas, it seems to me it could have been solved a long time ago without breaking change. But what are the reasons why this does not happen?

  • std.containers existed before the allocators
  • std.experimental.allocator
    • is in a "freezed" state. it was asked not to use
      anymore
    • is experimental, so you cannot make non-experimental part
      of the library depends on it

Alternatively you can use emsi containers, which are based on the allocators.

Right now it is not passing its test suite.

Amin Yahyaabadi has recently been very good with the help of WebFreak and replaced the testsuite from Travis to Github Actions.

However it is failing due to needing to update stdx-allocator and a bug with the unrolled linked list.
