[−][src]Function std::intrinsics::arith_offset
pub unsafe extern "rust-intrinsic" fn arith_offset<T>(
dst: *const T,
offset: isize
) -> *const T
🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (core_intrinsics
#0)
intrinsics are unlikely to ever be stabilized, instead they should be used through stabilized interfaces in the rest of the standard library
Calculates the offset from a pointer, potentially wrapping.
This is implemented as an intrinsic to avoid converting to and from an integer, since the conversion inhibits certain optimizations.
Safety
Unlike the offset
intrinsic, this intrinsic does not restrict the
resulting pointer to point into or one byte past the end of an allocated
object, and it wraps with two's complement arithmetic. The resulting
value is not necessarily valid to be used to actually access memory.
