Fix soundness hole in Ref::into_ref and into_mut (#721)#725
Merged
Conversation
This commit implements the fix for #716 which will be released as a new version in version trains 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7. See #716 for a description of the soundness hole and an explanation of why this fix is chosen. Unfortunately, due to dtolnay/trybuild#241, there is no way for us to write a UI test that will detect a failure post-monomorphization, which is when the code implemented in this change is designed to fail. I have manually verified that unsound uses of these APIs now fail to compile. Release 0.4.1.
