On first glance you'll find a lot of unsafety but most of it is (now) benign. The largest parts are casting a transparent, repr-C wrapper struct to native arrays or slices and forwarding impls of bytemuck::{Pod, Zeroable} accordingly. There's a derive crate for bytemuck that may be used instead. There are not a lot of safety comments but not a lot of invariants used either.

Fixed soundness of ComponentBytes

0.8.18 (older version) Rating: Negative Thoroughness: Low Understanding: Medium

Show review…

A longstanding soundness issue of interpreting a user input type T as bytes... This goes back to 0.2 at least where we have the following trait:

pub trait ComponentBytes<T> {
  fn as_slice(&self) -> &[T];
  fn as_mut_slice(&mut self) -> &mut [T];

  // Provides: does this obvious transmutation cast of `as_slice` result.
  fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8] { ... }
}

This is so unsound, the user can even return an wrong slice of an arbitrary and just let this trait do the dirty work of inspecting its bytes.

In a more recent version we're allowed to even write into that byte slice! Let us create null references, invalid enums, whatever your heart desires.

Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories. There is absolutely no guarantee that the repository URL declared by the crate belongs to the crate, or that the code in the repository is the code inside the published tarball.

To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open rgb. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of rgb v0.8.90-alpha.2 or view the source online.
