independently arenas, with the internal locking within arenas further divided
up per size class.
This project currently aims to support Android, musl and glibc. It may support
other non-Linux operating systems in the future. For Android and musl, there
will be custom integration and other hardening features. The glibc support will

robust and cleaner base to build on and can cover the same use cases.
This project currently supports Bionic (Android), musl and glibc. It may
