== Why is this an issue?
|
||||||
|
When casting a raw pointer to a slice, the produced raw pointer does not correctly update its length metadata, leading to potential issues such as creating a slice with less data than intended or more data, risking undefined behavior upon dereferencing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
== How to fix it
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use `ptr::slice_from_raw_parts` to construct a slice from a data pointer and the correct length.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
=== Code examples
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
==== Noncompliant code example
|
||||||
|
[source,rust,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
|
||||||
|
----
|
||||||
|
let a = [1_u8, 2, 3, 4];
|
||||||
|
let p = &a as *const [u8] as *const [u32];
|
||||||
|
unsafe {
|
||||||
|
println!("{:?}", &*p); // Noncompliant: Undefined behavior
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
----
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
==== Compliant solution
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[source,rust,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
|
||||||
|
----
|
||||||
|
let a = [1_i32, 2, 3, 4];
|
||||||
|
let old_ptr = &a as *const [i32];
|
||||||
|
// The data pointer is cast to a pointer to the target `u8` not `[u8]`
|
||||||
|
// The length comes from the known length of 4 i32s times the 4 bytes per i32
|
||||||
|
let new_ptr = core::ptr::slice_from_raw_parts(old_ptr as *const u8, 16);
|
||||||
|
unsafe {
|
||||||
|
println!("{:?}", &*new_ptr);
|
||||||
|
}
