Description: API documentation for the Rust `arith_offset` fn in crate `core`.
Keywords: rust, rustlang, rust-lang, arith_offset

# [−][src]Function core::intrinsics::arith_offset

    pub unsafe extern "rust-intrinsic" fn arith_offset<T>(
        dst: *const T,
        offset: isize
    ) -> *const T

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`core_intrinsics` #0)

intrinsics are unlikely to ever be stabilized, instead they should be used through stabilized interfaces in the rest of the standard library

Calculates the offset from a pointer, potentially wrapping.

This is implemented as an intrinsic to avoid converting to and from an integer, since the conversion inhibits certain optimizations.

# Safety

Unlike the `offset` intrinsic, this intrinsic does not restrict the resulting pointer to point into or one byte past the end of an allocated object, and it wraps with two's complement arithmetic. The resulting value is not necessarily valid to be used to actually access memory.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
