Subject: rust: safety: introduce `unsafe_precondition_assert!` macro
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b8d687c7eeb52d0353ac27c4f71594a2e6aa365f;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

rust: safety: introduce `unsafe_precondition_assert!` macro

Introduce a new `safety` module containing `unsafe_precondition_assert!`
macro. It is a wrapper around `debug_assert!`, intended for validating
preconditions of unsafe function.

When `CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS` flag is enabled, this macro performs
runtime checks to ensure that the preconditions for unsafe function hold.
Otherwise, the macro is a no-op.

[ Added trailing periods, intra-doc link, "a" in "is a no-op" and `()`
  to function reference. Removed plural in assertion message and title
  of macro. Reworded slightly. - Miguel ]
