# theconsensuslabs/noalloc

> Tooling and libraries to enforce zero heap allocations in Go: a CLI checks the entire call tree of a function marked //noalloc:root and reports allocating lines. Also ships bounded fixed-capacity containers (Buf, Vec, Slice, Map) and a zero-allocating JSON codec.

- Magnitude: 3.6 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 71 total · +18 stars measured 2026-10-29, 17:38–20:40 UTC, ≈ 21 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

- GitHub: https://github.com/theconsensuslabs/noalloc · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/theconsensuslabs/noalloc

## Useful for

- Check in CI that marked functions don't allocate on the heap as code changes
- Replace map and slice with bounded containers on a service's hot path
- Use the built-in zero-allocating JSON codec to parse requests

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-29 (UTC), 17:38–20:40: 53 → 71 stars (+18). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +21 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 71 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 1
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 14 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 6

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-26 … 2026-10-29: 0, 14, 22, 18

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
