Extension methods for raw pointers

Required methods

Provided methods

Increment the pointer by 1, and return its new value.

Equivalent to the C idiom ++ptr.

Increment the pointer by 1, but return its old value.

Equivalent to the C idiom ptr++.

Decrement the pointer by 1, and return its new value.

Equivalent to the C idiom --ptr.

Decrement the pointer by 1, but return its old value.

Equivalent to the C idiom ptr--.

Increment by 1

Decrement by 1

Offset the pointer by s multiplied by index.

Implementations on Foreign Types

NonNull<T> supports the same offsetting methods under the same safety constraints as the other raw pointer implementations.

There is no difference - both when offsetting *mut T and NonNull<T>, the offset is only well defined if we remain inside the same object or one-past the end, and we can never land in a null pointer while obeying those rules.
