Linuxiac ☛ Rust 1.86 Introduces Major Language Features
Moreover, in debug mode, Rust will now emit a runtime assertion to confirm that pointers are not null before any non-zero-sized read or write occurs. These checks apply even when references are reborrowed. Importantly, these extra checks are part of debug assertions, so they do not replace or diminish the existing compile-time guarantees.
