// How this module is organized.
//
// The library infrastructure for slices is fairly messy. There's
// a lot of stuff defined here. Let's keep it clean.
//
// The layout of this file is thus:
//
// * Inherent methods. This is where most of the slice API resides.
// * Implementations of a few common traits with important slice ops.
// * Definitions of a bunch of iterators.
// * Free functions.
// * The `raw` and `bytes` submodules.
// * Boilerplate trait implementations.

/// Forms a slice from a pointer and a length.
///
/// The `len` argument is the number of **elements**, not the number of bytes.
///
/// # Safety
///
/// This function is unsafe as there is no guarantee that the given pointer is
/// valid for `len` elements, nor whether the lifetime inferred is a suitable
/// lifetime for the returned slice.
///
/// `data` must be non-null and aligned, even for zero-length slices. One
/// reason for this is that enum layout optimizations may rely on references
/// (including slices of any length) being aligned and non-null to distinguish
/// them from other data. You can obtain a pointer that is usable as `data`
/// for zero-length slices using [`NonNull::dangling()`].
///
/// The total size of the slice must be no larger than `isize::MAX` **bytes**
/// in memory. See the safety documentation of [`pointer::offset`].
///
/// # Caveat
///
/// The lifetime for the returned slice is inferred from its usage. To
/// prevent accidental misuse, it's suggested to tie the lifetime to whichever
/// source lifetime is safe in the context, such as by providing a helper
/// function taking the lifetime of a host value for the slice, or by explicit
/// annotation.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use std::slice;
///
/// // manifest a slice for a single element
/// let x = 42;
/// let ptr = &x as *const _;
/// let slice = unsafe { slice::from_raw_parts(ptr, 1) };
/// assert_eq!(slice[0], 42);
