Function cve_rs::construct_fake_string

pub fn construct_fake_string(ptr: *mut u8, cap: usize, len: usize) -> String

Construct a String from a pointer, capacity and length, in a completely safe manner.

String is a Vec<u8> which is a (RawVec, usize) which is a ((Unique, usize), usize).

Rust explicitly says that structs are not guaranteed to have members in order, so instead we determine that order at runtime.

Safety

This function is 100% memory-safe.

Nevetheless, remember to use std::mem::forget to deallocate the fake String, otherwise Rust will think the pointer has been allocated by the global allocator and free it the wrong way.

As they say: Trust, but Verify.
