Subject: [PATCH v4 5/7] rust: str: use transmute in `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut`
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2025 12:34:09 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250616-borrow_impls-v4-5-36f9beb3fe6a@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250616-borrow_impls-v4-0-36f9beb3fe6a@nvidia.com>
`from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked` also does this, so do the same for
symmetry. This was probably not done due to the unavailability of the
`const_mut_refs` feature at the time this code was introduced.
