Do I need to add tests to get the coverage up like the CI says, even though line count has just increased because of reformatting? |

Only meaningful test cases are really needed, and for this case we could decrease the coverage:) |
Writes to arbitrary pointers are unsafe in Rust. It's the caller's job to ensure that it's safe for the memory they are writing to can contain whatever arbitrary bytes are received over the socket. For example, it would be unsafe to have an iovec pointing to the return value of str::as_mut_ptr, because strings can only contain byte sequences that are valid UTF-8. Because it's on the caller to make sure they're passing pointers safely, any function that writes to iovecs has to be marked as unsafe. Signed-off-by: Alyssa Ross <hi@alyssa.is>

I've rebased this in the hope that e39373f will fix the coverage issue. |
