//! Rawpointer adds extra utility methods to raw pointers `*const T`, `*mut T`
//! and `NonNull<T>`.
//!
//! Features include:
//!
//! - Strided offsets - [`.stride_offset(stride,
//!   index)`](PointerExt::stride_offset) make it easy to compute
//!   pointer offsets where the index is unsigned and the stride is signed.
//!
//! - Offsetting methods in general for `NonNull`, since it does not have these
//!   from libcore
//!
//! - Post- and preincrement and post- and predecrement methods
//!
//!   - For `p++` use [`p.post_inc()`](PointerExt::post_inc).
//!   - For `++p` use [`p.pre_inc()`](PointerExt::pre_inc).
//!   - For `p--` use [`p.post_dec()`](PointerExt::post_dec).
//!   - For `--p` use [`p.pre_dec()`](PointerExt::pre_dec).
//!
//! ```rust
//! use rawpointer::PointerExt;
//!
//! unsafe {
//!     // In this example:
//!     // Use .post_inc() to iterate and overwrite the first four
//!     // elements of the array.
//!
//!     let mut xs = [0; 16];
//!     let mut ptr = xs.as_mut_ptr();
//!     let end = ptr.offset(4);
//!     let mut i = 0;
//!     while ptr != end {
//!         *ptr.post_inc() = i;
//!         i += 1;
//!     }
//!     assert_eq!(&xs[..8], &[0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0]);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Safety
//!
//! See the Rust [core::ptr] documentation for more information.
//!
//! ## Rust Version
//!
//! This version of the crate requires Rust 1.26 or later
