From fcad9bbf9e1a7de6c53908954ba1b1a1ab11ef1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tamir Duberstein Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2025 16:55:05 -0400 Subject: rust: enable `clippy::ptr_as_ptr` lint In Rust 1.51.0, Clippy introduced the `ptr_as_ptr` lint [1]: > Though `as` casts between raw pointers are not terrible, > `pointer::cast` is safer because it cannot accidentally change the > pointer's mutability, nor cast the pointer to other types like `usize`. There are a few classes of changes required: - Modules generated by bindgen are marked `#[allow(clippy::ptr_as_ptr)]`. - Inferred casts (` as _`) are replaced with `.cast()`. - Ascribed casts (` as *... T`) are replaced with `.cast::()`. - Multistep casts from references (` as *const _ as *const T`) are replaced with `core::ptr::from_ref(&x).cast()` with or without `::` according to the previous rules. The `core::ptr::from_ref` call is required because `(x as *const _).cast::()` results in inference failure. - Native literal C strings are replaced with `c_str!().as_char_ptr()`. - `*mut *mut T as _` is replaced with `let *mut *const T = (*mut *mut T)`.cast();` since pointer to pointer can be confusing. Apply these changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.
