//! How to use the heap and a dynamic memory allocator
//!
//! To compile this example you'll need to build the collections crate as part
//! of the Xargo sysroot. To do that change the Xargo.toml file to look like
//! this:
//!
//! ``` text
//! [dependencies.core]
//! stage = 0
//!
//! [dependencies.collections] # NEW
//! stage = 0
//!
//! [dependencies.compiler_builtins]
//! git = "https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/compiler-builtins"
//! stage = 1
//! ```
//!
//! This example depends on the alloc-cortex-m crate so you'll have to add it
//! to your Cargo.toml:
//!
//! ``` text
//! # or edit the Cargo.toml file manually
//! $ cargo add alloc-cortex-m
//! ```
//!
