Struct null_terminated::Nul

pub struct Nul<A>(_, _);

Generic unsized null-terminated array

&Nul<A> is a thin pointer, so it can be readily used with FFI.

Examples

One can safely take views of null-terminated slices with TryFrom::try_from:

extern "C" {
    fn c_f(path: *const u8) -> i32;
}

fn f(path: &[u8]) -> Result<i32, ()> {
    <&Nul<u8> as ::fallible::TryFrom<_>>::try_from(path)
        .map(|path| unsafe { c_f(path.as_ptr()) })
}
