Description
The code below compiles with stable rustc (1.52.1), but fails to compile on beta (1.53) and nightly (1.54):
fn main() {
let val: u8 = 5;
let u8_ptr: *const u8 = &val;
let _closure = || {
unsafe {
// Fails compilation with:
// error[E0133]: dereference of raw pointer is unsafe and
// requires unsafe function or block
let tmp = *u8_ptr;
tmp
// Just dereferencing and returning directly compiles fine:
// *u8_ptr
}
};
}On beta and nightly, there is a compilation error due to a missing unsafe block, even though there clearly is one in the code:
error[E0133]: dereference of raw pointer is unsafe and requires unsafe function or block
--> unsafe_deref_test.rs:9:23
|
9 | let tmp = *u8_ptr;
| ^^^^^^^ dereference of raw pointer
|
= note: raw pointers may be NULL, dangling or unaligned; they can violate aliasing rules and cause data races: all of these are undefined behavior
error: aborting due to previous error
