 The `#[global_allocator]` attribute tells the Rust compiler which allocator instance it should use as the global heap allocator. The attribute is only applicable to a `static` that implements the `GlobalAlloc` trait. Let's register an instance of our `Dummy` allocator as the global allocator:
 
 ```rust
-// in src/lib.rs
+// in src/allocator.rs
 
 #[global_allocator]
 static ALLOCATOR: allocator::Dummy = allocator::Dummy;

-Since the `Dummy` allocator is a [zero sized type], we don't need to specify any fields in the initialization expression. Note that the `#[global_allocator]` module [cannot be used in submodules][pr51335], so we need to put it into the `lib.rs`.
