Description
Part of #29329
http://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ptr/
Here's what needs to be done to close out this issue:
- the module docs act like this is about
*const T
/*mut T
, but it's really about common functions that work with them. -
copy
could link tomemmove
somewhere. -
copy_nonoverlapping
should link tomemcpy
. Both of these functions should talk more about what "overlapping" means here. -
drop_in_place
needs links and examples -
read
needs to explain why and where you should use it, as well as linking some stuff. -
read_volitile
needs links -
replace
should link tomem::replace
, and justify its unsafety better. -
swap
needs to split out its summary from its description, link tomem::swap
, and get an example. -
write
needs to explain when and where to use it, and to link some types -
write_bytes
needs to better justify itself, linkmemset
, and move that out of its summary line. -
write_volatile
needs to linkread
.
