//@ check-pass use std::ptr; // see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/125833 // notionally, taking the address of an extern static is a safe operation, // as we only point at it instead of generating a true reference to it // it may potentially induce linker errors, but the safety of that is not about taking addresses! // any safety obligation of the extern static's correctness in declaration is on the extern itself, // see RFC 3484 for more on that: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3484-unsafe-extern-blocks.html extern "C" { static THERE: u8; static mut SOMEWHERE: u8; } fn main() { let ptr2there = ptr::addr_of!(THERE); let ptr2somewhere = ptr::addr_of!(SOMEWHERE); let ptr2somewhere = ptr::addr_of_mut!(SOMEWHERE); // testing both addr_of and the expression it directly expands to let raw2there = &raw const THERE; let raw2somewhere = &raw const SOMEWHERE; let raw2somewhere = &raw mut SOMEWHERE; }
