Summary of Changes

Hello @jswrenn, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the HasField trait by introducing a new method, project_inner. This addition aims to provide a more ergonomic and safer way to project fields from a given pointer by encapsulating the raw pointer operations within a safe abstraction. It leverages the existing project_raw method and converts its output into a PtrInner type, complete with comprehensive safety comments to ensure correct memory handling and provenance.

Highlights

  • New project_inner method: Introduces project_inner to the HasField trait, providing a safe abstraction for field projection. This method converts the raw pointer output of project_raw into a PtrInner type, ensuring proper provenance and non-null guarantees with detailed safety justifications.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Code Review

This pull request introduces HasField::project_inner with a default implementation, which provides a safe wrapper around project_raw. The implementation logic is sound, but the safety comments contain minor inaccuracies regarding the argument name, which could cause confusion. I've suggested a fix to improve clarity.

The safety comments in this function refer to self, but the argument is named slf. This should be corrected to slf for clarity and to accurately reflect the code. This is important for ensuring the safety argument is easy to understand and verify.

        // SAFETY: `slf`'s referent lives at a `NonNull` address, and is either
        // zero-sized or lives in an allocation. In either case, it does not

        let projected_non_null = unsafe { NonNull::new_unchecked(projected_raw) };

@joshlf This change is a prelude to #2886, but I'm wondering if it might be of any immediate use for the cast machinery you built out.
