Function opaque_pointer::object

pub unsafe fn object<'a, T>(pointer: *const T) -> Result<&'a T, PointerError>

Reference to a object but without back to own it.

That’s the difference with own_back<T>(), you must use own_back<T>() to own it again and it will be dropped.

Errors

The pointer must be not null as it is an obvious invalid pointer.

Safety

Invalid pointer or call it twice could cause an undefined behavior or heap error and a crash.
