unsafesc

Summary

The unsafesc library provides an interface to Rust's four "unsafe superpowers", namely:

dereferencing a raw pointer,
calling an unsafe function or method,
accessing or modifying a mutable static variable, and
implementing an unsafe trait

If you were using regular unsafe Rust you would have to make sure all the code marked unsafe isn't dangerous and doesn't have memory problems. Alternatively, Safe Rust takes care of this for you by not even allowing you to perform any of these unsafe superpowers in the first place.

The unsafesc package provides the best of both worlds, i.e. providing access to unsafe superpowers while taking care of all the messy stuff for you.

Installation

cargo install unsafesc

Usage

In its current form, unsafesc is a placeholder package. In future its features will all be implemented, but for now there aren't any.
