I don't think Rust even allows you to free your own memory without calling into libc, but then again I suppose you could say the same thing about C.

  Not on stable. On unstable you'd have a few options, similar to the ones you'd have for writing libc in the first place.

    Can't you use mem::drop to (effectively) deallocate memory before it goes out of scope? (I know this isn't quite the same thing as liballoc on nightly)

      That's true. Even though my parent said "free", I just assumed both sides of the equation :)
