157///

160///
161/// ```
162/// # use kernel::types::ScopeGuard;
163/// fn example1(arg: bool) {
164///     let _log = ScopeGuard::new(|| pr_info!("example1 completed\n"));
165///
166///     if arg {
167///         return;
168///     }
169///
170///     pr_info!("Do something...\n");
171/// }
172///
173/// # example1(false);
174/// # example1(true);
175/// ```
176///
177/// In the example below, we want to log the same message on all early exits but a different one on
178/// the main exit path:
179///
180/// ```
181/// # use kernel::types::ScopeGuard;
182/// fn example2(arg: bool) {
183///     let log = ScopeGuard::new(|| pr_info!("example2 returned early\n"));
184///
185///     if arg {

187///     }
188///
189///     // (Other early returns...)
190///

194///
195/// # example2(false);
196/// # example2(true);
197/// ```
198///
199/// In the example below, we need a mutable object (the vector) to be accessible within the log
200/// function, so we wrap it in the [`ScopeGuard`]:
201///
202/// ```
203/// # use kernel::types::ScopeGuard;
204/// fn example3(arg: bool) -> Result {
205///     let mut vec =
206///         ScopeGuard::new_with_data(KVec::new(), |v| pr_info!("vec had {} elements\n", v.len()));

275/// Stores an opaque value.
276///
277/// [`Opaque<T>`] is meant to be used with FFI objects that are never interpreted by Rust code.
278///
279/// It is used to wrap structs from the C side, like for example `Opaque<bindings::mutex>`.
280/// It gets rid of all the usual assumptions that Rust has for a value:
281///
282/// * The value is allowed to be uninitialized (for example have invalid bit patterns: `3` for a
283///   [`bool`]).
284/// * The value is allowed to be mutated, when a `&Opaque<T>` exists on the Rust side.
285/// * No uniqueness for mutable references: it is fine to have multiple `&mut Opaque<T>` point to
286///   the same value.
287/// * The value is not allowed to be shared with other threads (i.e. it is `!Sync`).
288///
289/// This has to be used for all values that the C side has access to, because it can't be ensured
290/// that the C side is adhering to the usual constraints that Rust needs.
291///
292/// Using [`Opaque<T>`] allows to continue to use references on the Rust side even for values shared
293/// with C.
294///
