Structs§

AllocGuard: A RAII guard that owns a single allocation and ensures it is deallocated unless explicitly released.
SliceAllocGuard: A RAII guard for a heap‐allocated slice that tracks how many elements have been initialized.

align_up: Aligns the given value up to a non-zero alignment.
align_up_unchecked^⚠: Aligns the given value up to an alignment.
check_ptr_overlap: Checks if two pointers of to data of size sz overlap.
checked_op: Performs a checked arithmetic operation on two usizes.
checked_op_panic: Performs a checked arithmetic operation on two usizes.
checked_op_panic_const: Performs a checked arithmetic operation on two usizes.
dangling_nonnull^⚠: Returns a NonNull which has the given alignment as its address.
dangling_nonnull_for: Returns a valid, dangling NonNull for the given layout.
layout_or_sz_align: Gets either a valid layout with space for n count of T, or a raw size and alignment.
nonnull_from_ref: Converts a reference into a NonNull.
nonnull_slice_from_raw_parts: Creates a NonNull<[T]> from a pointer and a length.
nonnull_slice_len^⚠: Returns the length of a NonNull slice pointer.
ptr_max_align: Returns the maximum alignment satisfied by a non-null pointer.
slice_ptr_from_raw_parts: Creates a *mut [T] from a pointer and a length.
