copy_nonoverlapping documents that its pointer must be aligned for a valid read, otherwise the call will be UB.
This patch will fix that, and I believe it will fix #269. (I tried @igor-petruk's oatbar at commit igor-petruk/oatbar@baf1627 which is what he linked in the issue, changed the Cargo.toml to depend on my local copy that had this change and did
cargo run
, and I didn't get a crash.)This was only somewhat recently noticed because Rust started checking these preconditions in Rust 1.78.
As some notes:
debug_assert!(!ptr.is_null())
to this function?read_unaligned
