Project mention: Where can I read about how to write a safe API for unsafe code? | /r/rust | 2023-09-16

bytemuck uses a number of traits to provide safe APIs for bitcasts in cases where it's actually safe. This doesn't cover the full spectrum of safety in Rust (I imagine Send and Sync aren't too relevant here?), but if you can understand how this crate provides a safe API on top of a fair bit of unsafe, then you'll be well on your way here. (For extra credit, study zerocopy as well, which lives in a similar domain. Compare its use of unsafe and the functionality it provides with bytemuck.) I mention these crates because after a cursory look, they have decent comments describing safety obligations. So you have a decent chance of actually understanding the boundary between safe and unsafe here.
