use Pin<> in place of raw pointers when we require pin-like behaviour #1748

Open nlewycky opened 4 years ago

nlewycky commented 4 years ago

Motivation

Code cleanup!

Proposed solution

The VMContext objects have raw pointers in order to permit access by the compiler-generated code. In practice the pointed-to objects must not be moved or freed or replaced with object of different type. Rust allows us to encode exactly this property using the Pin<> type, and Pin<> is #[repr(transparent)] so they will still work with our existing compiler-generated code.
