Reduce unsafe code and detect soundness bugs with equivalence checks against safe code
Documentation
//! # Reduce unsafe code and detect soundness bugs with equivalence checks against safe code
//!
//! For discussions on this idea see the RFC on the [Rust Internals forum](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/rfc-use-cfg-reduce-unsafe-to-signal-preference-of-safe-code-over-performance/11648) and [Rust Secure Code Working Group](https://github.com/rust-secure-code/wg/issues/35).
//!
//! To indicate preference of safety over performance: add `--cfg reduce_unsafe` to your `RUSTFLAGS`.
//!
//! `reduce_unsafe::unchecked!` runs the unsafe code unless the `--cfg reduce_unsafe` flag is present.
//!
//! `reduce_unsafe::checked!` uses `debug_assertions` to decide between `reduce_unsafe::unchecked!` and running both branches and panics if they diverge.
//!
//! If you have unsafe code which you believe is sound which could be implemented (slower) with safe code, consider using the `reduce_unsafe::checked!` or `reduce_unsafe::unchecked!` macros or `#[cfg(reduce_unsafe)]` attribute.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use core::str;
//! # let bytes = b"hello world";
//! let my_str = unsafe {
//!     str::from_utf8_unchecked(bytes)
//! };
//! ```
//!
//! becomes
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use core::str;
//! # let bytes = b"hello world";
//! let my_str = reduce_unsafe::checked!(
//!     unsafe { str::from_utf8_unchecked(bytes) },
//!     str::from_utf8(bytes).expect("BUG: unsound unsafe code detected")
//! );
//! ```
//!
//! or if the returned type does not implement `PartialEq` or there are visible side effects
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use core::str;
//! # let bytes = b"hello world";
//! let my_str = reduce_unsafe::unchecked!(
//!     unsafe { str::from_utf8_unchecked(bytes) },
//!     str::from_utf8(bytes).expect("BUG: unsound unsafe code detected")
//! );
//! ```
