Subject: [PATCH v7 3/6] rust: types: Support &'static and &'static mut ForeignOwnable
Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2025 23:25:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250624-debugfs-rust-v7-3-9c8835a7a20f@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250624-debugfs-rust-v7-0-9c8835a7a20f@google.com>
These types live forever and do not require cleanup, so they can
serve as `ForeignOwnable`.
