Expand description

§box_raw_ptr

box_raw_ptr is a Rust library providing safe wrappers for working with raw pointers, specifically *const T and *mut T. These wrappers ensure memory safety by encapsulating the raw pointers in safe abstractions and providing safe methods for working with them.

§Features

ConstRawPtr: A wrapper for *const T providing methods for safely working with constant raw pointers.
MutRawPtr: A wrapper for *mut T providing methods for safely working with mutable raw pointers.

§Example

use box_raw_ptr::const_raw_ptr::ConstRawPtr;

fn main() {
    let ptr = Box::new(42);
    let raw_ptr = ConstRawPtr::new_const_ptr(&*ptr);

    // Print the memory address of the raw pointer
    raw_ptr.print_const_ptr(true);

    // Print the value pointed to by the raw pointer
    raw_ptr.print_const_ptr(false);
}

§Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
box_raw_ptr = "0.1.8"
