//! Manually manage memory through raw pointers. //! //! *[See also the pointer primitive types](../../std/primitive.pointer.html).* //! //! # Safety //! //! Many functions in this module take raw pointers as arguments and read from //! or write to them. For this to be safe, these pointers must be *valid*. //! Whether a pointer is valid depends on the operation it is used for //! (read or write), and the extent of the memory that is accessed (i.e., //! how many bytes are read/written). Most functions use `*mut T` and `*const T` //! to access only a single value, in which case the documentation omits the size //! and implicitly assumes it to be `size_of::()` bytes. //! //! The precise rules for validity are not determined yet. The guarantees that are //! provided at this point are very minimal: //! //! * A [null] pointer is *never* valid, not even for accesses of [size zero][zst]. //! * All pointers (except for the null pointer) are valid for all operations of //! [size zero][zst]. //! * For a pointer to be valid, it is necessary, but not always sufficient, that the pointer //! be *dereferencable*: the memory range of the given size starting at the pointer must all be //! within the bounds of a single allocated object. Note that in Rust, //! every (stack-allocated) variable is considered a separate allocated object. //! * All accesses performed by functions in this module are *non-atomic* in the sense //! of [atomic operations] used to synchronize between threads. This means it is //! undefined behavior to perform two concurrent accesses to the same location from different //! threads unless both accesses only read from memory. Notice that this explicitly //! includes [`read_volatile`] and [`write_volatile`]: Volatile accesses cannot //! be used for inter-thread synchronization. //! * The result of casting a reference to a pointer is valid for as long as the //! underlying object is live and no reference (just raw pointers) is used to //! access the same memory. //! //! These axioms, along with careful use of [`offset`] for pointer arithmetic, //! are enough to correctly implement many useful things in unsafe code. Stronger guarantees //! will be provided eventually, as the [aliasing] rules are being determined. For more //! information, see the [book] as well as the section in the reference devoted //! to [undefined behavior][ub]. //! //! ## Alignment //! //! Valid raw pointers as defined above are not necessarily properly aligned (where //! "proper" alignment is defined by the pointee type, i.e., `*const T` must be //! aligned to `mem::align_of::()`). However, most functions require their //! arguments to be properly aligned, and will explicitly state //! this requirement in their documentation. Notable exceptions to this are //! [`read_unaligned`] and [`write_unaligned`]. //! //! When a function requires proper alignment, it does so even if the access //! has size 0, i.e., even if memory is not actually touched. Consider using //! [`NonNull::dangling`] in such cases. //! //! [aliasing]: ../../nomicon/aliasing.html //! [book]: ../../book/ch19-01-unsafe-rust.html#dereferencing-a-raw-pointer //!
