Description
Add the function into_raw
to ARef<T>
, the function should:
- consume the
ARef<T>
by value, but not run the destructor, so you need tomem::forget
theARef<T>
. - return a
NonNull<T>
or a*mut T
, figure out which one works better. - have an example and some documentation.
Also adjust instances where ARef
s are manually forgotten to use this new function.
