Expand description
Forms a raw slice from a pointer and a length.
The len
argument is the number of elements, not the number of bytes.
This function is safe, but actually using the return value is unsafe.
See the documentation of slice::from_raw_parts
for slice safety requirements.
Examples
use std::ptr;
// create a slice pointer when starting out with a pointer to the first element
let x = [5, 6, 7];
let raw_pointer = x.as_ptr();
let slice = ptr::slice_from_raw_parts(raw_pointer, 3);
assert_eq!(unsafe { &*slice }[2], 7);
