Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] rust: str: implement `Borrow` and `BorrowMut` for `CString`
Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2025 22:46:11 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250613-borrow_impls-v2-4-6120e1958199@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250613-borrow_impls-v2-0-6120e1958199@nvidia.com>

Implement `Borrow<CStr>` and `BorrowMut<CStr>` for `CString`. This
allows `CString` to be used in generic APIs asking for types
implementing those traits. `&CStr` and `&mut CStr` also implement those
traits allowing users to use either owned or borrowed values.
