Struct Block 

pub struct Block<T> {
    pub pointer: RelativePtr<T>,
}

A typed handle to an allocated block in the matrix.

Since the matrix operates entirely on raw pointer addresses and internal types, Block<T> is provided at the API level to wrap allocations into a typed, ergonomic handle. The raw RelativePtr returned by the matrix is reinterpreted as T and wrapped in Block<T> to maintain type information at the surface layer. All pointer arithmetic is delegated to the inner RelativePtr<T>, referred to as pointer.

Validity

A Block<T> is valid as long as:

• The originating MatrixHandler (and its mmap) is alive.
• The block has not been freed via handler.free().

Blocks carry no lifetime parameter. The caller is responsible for not using a block after freeing it or after the handler is dropped.

Fields

pointer: RelativePtr<T>

Payload offset from SHM base — points past the BlockHeader.
