Shrink unsafe block for the Gl impl #226

Open peamaeq opened 2 years ago

peamaeq commented 2 years ago

In this function you use the unsafe keyword for almost the entrie function body. However, I found that only 1 function are real unsafe operations (see the list below).

We need to mark unsafe operations more precisely using unsafe keyword. Keeping unsafe blocks small can bring many benefits. For example, when mistakes happen, we can locate any errors related to memory safety within an unsafe block. This is the balance between Safe and Unsafe Rust. The separation is designed to make using Safe Rust as ergonomic as possible, but requires extra effort and care when writing Unsafe Rust. Real unsafe operation list:

  1. the mem::transmute() function
