Trait kernel::io_buffer::WritableToBytes
source · [−]pub unsafe trait WritableToBytes { }
Expand description
Specifies that a type is safely writable to byte slices.
This means that we don’t read undefined values (which leads to UB) in preparation for writing to the byte slice. It also ensures that no potentially sensitive information is leaked into the byte slices.
Safety
A type must not include padding bytes and must be fully initialised to safely implement
WritableToBytes
(i.e., it doesn’t contain MaybeUninit
fields). A composition of
writable types in a structure is not necessarily writable because it may result in padding
bytes.
