Struct malloc_buf::Malloc

pub struct Malloc<T: ?Sized> { /* fields omitted */ }

A type that represents a malloc'd chunk of memory. When dropped, a Malloc will free that memory.

Methods

impl<T> Malloc<T>

unsafe fn from_ptr(ptr: *mut T) -> Malloc<T>

Constructs a new Malloc for a malloc'd value.

Unsafe because there must be a valid instance of T at ptr.

impl<T> Malloc<[T]>

unsafe fn from_array(ptr: *mut T, len: usize) -> Malloc<[T]>

Constructs a new Malloc for a malloc'd buffer with the given length at the given pointer.

Unsafe because there must be len contiguous, valid instances of T at ptr.

The given pointer must not be null unless the length is 0; this function will specially handle null, 0-length buffers safely.

impl Malloc<str>

unsafe fn from_c_str(ptr: *mut c_char) -> Result<Malloc<str>, Utf8Error>

Constructs a new Malloc for a malloc'd nul-terminated C string at the given pointer. Returns an error if the bytes are not valid UTF8.

Unsafe because ptr must point to valid, nul-terminated bytes.

Once created, when dereferenced the Malloc<str> will return the string without its nul-terminator.
