…lfJung Clarify language around ptrs in slice::raw More specifically we explicitly mention that the pointer should be non-null as a top level requirement. Nullptrs are always valid for zero sized operations, so just validity (and alignment) does not guarantee non-nullness as implied in the existing docs. We also explicitly call out ZSTs as an additional example where perhaps unintuitively alignment and non-nullness still have to hold. Finally we change `data` in the range functions to `start`, which seems like a typo to me. Touches docs for rust-lang#89792 r? RalfJung
