This turned out not to be the case, which means we will either have to introduce valgrind or change rust global allocator to a custom one for tests. Both approaches will expand the scope of this PR too much, so scratch what I said, I think it's better to be done as a separate PRs. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
