rust-aliasable

Rust library providing basic aliasable (non core::ptr::Unique) types
Documentation hosted on docs.rs.

aliasable = "0.1"

Why?

Used for escaping noalias when multiple raw pointers may point to the same data.

Goals

aliasable is not designed to provide a full interface for container types, simply to provide aliasable (non core::ptr::Unique) alternatives for dereferencing their owned data. When converting from a unique to an aliasable alternative, no data referenced is mutated (one-to-one internal representation aside from the non core::ptr::Unique pointer).

Usage

use aliasable::vec::AliasableVec;

// Re-exported via `aliasable::vec::UniqueVec`
let unique = Vec::from(&[1, 2, 3][..]);
let aliasable = AliasableVec::from(unique);
