Description
The current std::option
module states, that
Rust's pointer types must always point to a valid location; there are no "null" pointers.
Which is obviously wrong. There are no null references (&T
), but there may be raw null pointers (*const T
).
Maybe the docs should have used the terminology of smart pointers, which would be less misleading and be correct 😄
