Very cool! This is probably too esoteric for the blog post, but it seems like the malloc_size_of thing isn't passed in for the Rust version. (For those who don't know, in Firefox, this is used for the Dark Matter Detector (DMD): a method can be passed in to record all blocks that are measured via the memory reporters, to then report the allocation stacks for blocks that aren't reported, to find places that are missing reporters.) I assume that this is just because there's no DMD set up yet? I also assume that basically you can just modify the derive generator code, which would be really great, compared to the hideous giant patches that are required when modifying the reporter boiler plate in Firefox. I don't know if it is worth calling out that global changes can be made locally, or maybe that's just implicit in the "less boilerplate" part of things.
