[x] verify that allocator can be a threadlocal value, set to a standard beam allocator.
[x] verify that this can be overridden using an allocator on top of the beam allocator.
[x] which can then be called at beginning of the long nif.
[ ] and which can then be freed at the conclusion of the long nif.

in general, this should be able to be called for any function, not just long nifs.

ityonemo commented 4 years ago

this should be tied with refactoring beam.zig (https://github.com/ityonemo/zigler/issues/144)

ityonemo commented 3 years ago

switch to supporting this as beam_allocator.

ityonemo commented 1 year ago

not generally good, there are other allocators that can be tasked for this, compositionally.
