Struct PtrUninit 

pub struct PtrUninit<'mem>(/* private fields */);

A type-erased pointer to an uninitialized value

Implementations

impl<'mem> PtrUninit<'mem>

pub unsafe fn copy_from<'src>( self, src: PtrConst<'src>, shape: &'static Shape, ) -> Result<PtrMut<'mem>, UnsizedError>

Copies memory from a source pointer into this location and returns PtrMut

Safety

• The source pointer must be valid for reads of len bytes
• This pointer must be valid for writes of len bytes and properly aligned
• The regions may not overlap

pub fn new<T>(ptr: *mut T) -> Self

Create a new opaque pointer from a mutable pointer

This is safe because it’s generic over T

pub fn from_maybe_uninit<T>(borrow: &'mem mut MaybeUninit<T>) -> Self

Creates a new opaque pointer from a reference to a core::mem::MaybeUninit

The pointer will point to the potentially uninitialized contents

This is safe because it’s generic over T

pub unsafe fn assume_init(self) -> PtrMut<'mem>

Assumes the pointer is initialized and returns an Opaque pointer

Safety

The pointer must actually be pointing to initialized memory of the correct type.

pub unsafe fn put<T>(self, value: T) -> PtrMut<'mem>

Write a value to this location and convert to an initialized pointer

Safety

The pointer must be properly aligned for T and point to allocated memory that can be safely written to.

pub fn as_mut_byte_ptr(self) -> *mut u8

Returns the underlying raw pointer as a byte pointer

pub fn as_byte_ptr(self) -> *const u8

Returns the underlying raw pointer as a const byte pointer

pub unsafe fn field_uninit_at(self, offset: usize) -> PtrUninit<'mem>

Returns a pointer with the given offset added

Safety

Offset is within the bounds of the allocated memory

pub unsafe fn field_init_at(self, offset: usize) -> PtrMut<'mem>

Returns a pointer with the given offset added, assuming it’s initialized

Safety

The pointer plus offset must be:

• Within bounds of the allocated object
• Properly aligned for the type being pointed to
• Point to initialized data of the correct type
