bitvec 0.21.1

A crate for manipulating memory, bit by bit
Documentation
/*! Mirror of the [`core::ptr`] module and `bitvec`-specific pointer structures.

# Types

As `bitvec` is not the standard library, it does not have the freedom to use
language builtins such as actual pointers. Instead, `bitvec` uses its own
analagous structures:

- [`BitPtr<M, O, T>`]: This represents a pointer to a single bit, and is vaguely
  similar to `*const bool`, `*mut bool`, and `NonNull<bool>`. It consists of a
  (non-null, well-aligned) pointer to a `T` memory element and a bit-index
  within that element. It uses the `O` ordering implementation to access the
  selected bit, and uses `M` to determine whether it has write permissions to
  the location.
- [`BitPtrRange<M, O, T>`]: This is equivalent to `Range<BitPtr<M, O, T>>`. It
  exists because [`Range`] has some associated types that are still unstable to
  implement for its type parameters. It is also smaller than the `Range` would
  be, because it can take advantage of layout optimizations.
- [`BitRef<M, O, T>`]: This is a proxy reference type, equivalent to the C++
  [`bitset<N>::reference`]. It implements `Deref` and, if `M` is `Mut`,
  `DerefMut` to bool, so that it can be read from and written to as if it were
  an `&bool` or `&mut bool`. It is **not** a referent type, and cannot be used
  in APIs that expect actual references. It is implemented under the hood as a
  `BitPtr` with a `bool` cached in one of the padding bytes.
- `BitSpan<M, O, T>`: This is a crate-internal type that encodes a `BitPtr` and
  a length counter into a two-word structure that can be transmuted into
  `*BitSlice<O, T>`. This type enforces the non-null/well-aligned rule, and is
  the source of the limitation that `bitvec` region types can only address ⅛ of
  a `usize`, rather than the ½ limitation of the standard library collections.

  This type is not public API; it will only ever appear in its transmuted form,
  `*BitSlice<O, T>`. Users are **not permitted** to use any of the [`core::ptr`]
  or [`pointer`] functions to view or modify `*BitSlice` pointers, or their
  referent locations, in any way.

# Safety

The functions in this module take `bitvec` equivalents to raw pointers as their
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 (reading or writing), and the extent of the memory that is accessed (i.e.
how many bits are read/written in and how many underlying memory elements are
accessed). Most functions use [`BitPtr`] to access only a single bit, in which
case the documentation omits the size and implicitly assumes it to be one bit in
one `T` element.

The Rust rules about pointer validity are always in effect; `bitvec` refines
them to a bit-precision granularity, but must still respect the byte-level and
element-level rules.

# Crate-Specific Restrictions

`bitvec` uses an internal encoding scheme to make bit-region pointers fit into a
standard Rust slice pointer. This encoding requires that the base element
address of a bit-pointer be *non-null* and *well-aligned* for all pointers that
are used in the encoding scheme.

The `bitvec` structure used to emulate a pointer to a single bit is larger than
one processor word, and thus cannot be encoded to fit in a `*const Bit`. To ease
internal complexity, these restrictions are universal in `bitvec`: the crate as
a whole refuses to operate on null pointers, or pointers that are not aligned to
their referent type, even if your usage never touches the span encoding.

As such, the pointer types in this module can essentially only be sourced from
references, not from arbitrary address values. While this module attempts to
rely on actual Rust references as much as possible, and instead use only the
ordinary [`core::ptr`] and [`pointer`] functions. This is not always possible;
in particular, Rust does not offer stable atomic intrinsics, and instead only
allows them to be used on references.

/** Compares raw bit-pointers for equality.

This is the same as using the `==` operator, but less generic: the arguments
have to be `BitPtr<Const, _, _>` bit-pointers, not anything that implements
`PartialEq`.

# Original

[`ptr::eq`](core::ptr::eq)

# API Differences

The two pointers can differ in their storage type parameters. `bitvec` defines
pointer equality only between pointers with the same underlying `BitStore::Mem`
register type.

This cannot compare span pointers. `*const BitSlice` can be used in the standard
library `ptr::eq` and does not need an override.

# Examples

```rust
use bitvec::prelude::*;
use core::cell::Cell;

let data = 0u8;
let bare_ptr = BitPtr::<_, Lsb0, _>::from_ref(&data);
let cell_ptr = bare_ptr.cast::<Cell<u8>>();

assert!(bitvec::ptr::eq(bare_ptr, cell_ptr));

{
	src.read()
}

/** Performs a volatile read of the bit from `src`.

Volatile operations are intended to act on I/O memory, and are guaranteed to not
be elided or reördered by the compiler across other volatile operations.

# Original

[`ptr::read_volatile`](core::ptr::read_volatile)

# Notes

Rust does not curretnly have a rigorously and formally defined memory model, so
the precise semantics of what “volatile” means here is subject to change over
time. That being said, the semantics will almost always end up pretty similar to
[C11’s definition of volatile][c11].

The compiler shouldn’t change the relative order or number of volatile memory
operations.

# Safety

Behavior is undefined if any of the following conditions are violated:

- `dst` must be [valid] for reads
- `dst` must point to a properly initialized value of type `T`
- no other pointer must race `dst` to view or modify the referent location
  unless `T` is capable of ensuring race safety.

Just like in C, whether an operation is volatile has no bearing whatsoëver on
questions involving concurrent access from multiple threads. Volatile accesses
behave exactly like non-atomic accesses in that regard. In particular, a race
between a `read_volatile` and any write operation on the same location is
undefined behavior.

This is true even for atomic types! This instruction is an ordinary load that
the compiler will not remove. It is *not* an atomic instruction.

# Examples

```rust
use bitvec::prelude::*;

let data = 4u8;
let ptr = BitPtr::<_, Lsb0, _>::from_ref(&data);
unsafe {
  assert!(bitvec::ptr::read_volatile(ptr.add(2)));
