Spotting and Avoiding Heap Fragmentation in Rust Apps
I'm not sure if it's widely used, but Mesh is a C/C++ library that can recover from memory fragmentation. The YouTube video in the README is a great watch.

Bizarre memory leak caused by tokio runtime
With everyone talking about memory fragmentation, I'd like to mention Mesh, an allocator that can compact aka defrag the heap without any help from the program or compiler. Here's the talk explaining it, "Compacting the Uncompactable" by Bobby Powers.
