12/// `*mut T` but non-zero and [covariant].
13///
14/// This is often the correct thing to use when building data structures using
15/// raw pointers, but is ultimately more dangerous to use because of its additional
16/// properties. If you're not sure if you should use `NonNull<T>`, just use `*mut T`!
17///
18/// Unlike `*mut T`, the pointer must always be non-null, even if the pointer
19/// is never dereferenced. This is so that enums may use this forbidden value
20/// as a discriminant -- `Option<NonNull<T>>` has the same size as `*mut T`.
21/// However the pointer may still dangle if it isn't dereferenced.
22///
23/// Unlike `*mut T`, `NonNull<T>` is covariant over `T`. This is usually the correct
24/// choice for most data structures and safe abstractions, such as `Box`, `Rc`, `Arc`, `Vec`,
25/// and `LinkedList`.
26///
27/// In rare cases, if your type exposes a way to mutate the value of `T` through a `NonNull<T>`,
28/// and you need to prevent unsoundness from variance (for example, if `T` could be a reference
29/// with a shorter lifetime), you should add a field to make your type invariant, such as
30/// `PhantomData<Cell<T>>` or `PhantomData<&'a mut T>`.
31///
32/// Example of a type that must be invariant:
33/// ```rust
34/// use std::cell::Cell;
35/// use std::marker::PhantomData;
36/// struct Invariant<T> {
37///     ptr: std::ptr::NonNull<T>,
38///     _invariant: PhantomData<Cell<T>>,
39/// }
40/// ```
41///
42/// Notice that `NonNull<T>` has a `From` instance for `&T`. However, this does
43/// not change the fact that mutating through a (pointer derived from a) shared
44/// reference is undefined behavior unless the mutation happens inside an
45/// [`UnsafeCell<T>`]. The same goes for creating a mutable reference from a shared
46/// reference. When using this `From` instance without an `UnsafeCell<T>`,
47/// it is your responsibility to ensure that `as_mut` is never called, and `as_ptr`
48/// is never used for mutation.
49///
50/// # Representation
51///
52/// Thanks to the [null pointer optimization],
53/// `NonNull<T>` and `Option<NonNull<T>>`
54/// are guaranteed to have the same size and alignment:
55///
56/// ```
57/// use std::ptr::NonNull;
58///
59/// assert_eq!(size_of::<NonNull<i16>>(), size_of::<Option<NonNull<i16>>>());
60/// assert_eq!(align_of::<NonNull<i16>>(), align_of::<Option<NonNull<i16>>>());
61///
62/// assert_eq!(size_of::<NonNull<str>>(), size_of::<Option<NonNull<str>>>());
63/// assert_eq!(align_of::<NonNull<str>>(), align_of::<Option<NonNull<str>>>());
64/// ```
