Somewhere in the user-facing documentation of the unchecked indexing methods, it should say that the user is also responsible for avoiding overflow when using an
Excluded
lower-bound or anIncluded
upper-bound. Where does it say that?There was a problem hiding this comment.

It seems like those could possibly go on the
impl
itself. There are other invariants documented on otherimpl SliceIndex
es already.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Isn't that basically undiscoverable?

Yeh, it’s not as discoverable as directly on the methods themselves.
But it looks like this is actually also a problem for
RangeInclusive::get_unchecked
, which doesn’t appear to document the requirement thatself.end != usize::MAX
in the public API docs.Maybe we should flesh out the docs for
[T]::get_unchecked{_mut}
a bit to mention the possibility of overflowing bounds if they’re converted between inclusive/exclusive?There was a problem hiding this comment.

Yes, I agree this is an existing problem.
Sounds reasonable.

The documentation right now says:
Since
usize::MAX
would always be out of bounds for anything taking up space, we're only talking about overflows in[T]::get_unchecked
for ZSTs here, right? Or am I missing something?There was a problem hiding this comment.

And even for ZSTs, slices can not be longer than usize::MAX. So an
Included(usize::MAX)
range end already counts as out-of-bounds, permitting UB.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Hm, I can agree with that interpretation, but I feel it would be worth calling out explicitly that if there is an overflow while computing the bounds, that also counts as out-of-bounds.

At the very least it would be a great inline comment here and in
RangeInclusive
.
