Rollup merge of #72963 - poliorcetics:cstring-from-raw, r=dtolnay
Cstring `from_raw` and `into_raw` safety precisions Fixes #48525. Fixes #68456. This issue had two points: - The one about `from_raw` has been addressed (I hope). - The other one, about `into_raw`, has only been partially fixed. About `into_raw`: the idea was to: > steer users away from using the pattern of CString::{into_raw,from_raw} when interfacing with C APIs that may change the effective length of the string by writing interior NULs or erasing the final NUL I tried making a `Vec<c_char>` like suggested but my current solution feels very unsafe and *hacky* to me (most notably the type cast), I included it here to make it available for discussion: ```rust fn main() { use std::os::raw::c_char; let v = String::from("abc") .bytes() // From u8 to i8, // I feel like it will be a problem for values of u8 > 255 .map(|c| c as c_char) .collect::<Vec<_>>(); dbg!(v); } ```
