279 ///

282 /// It is used to wrap structs from the C side, like for example `Opaque<bindings::mutex>`.
283 /// It gets rid of all the usual assumptions that Rust has for a value:
284 ///
285 /// * The value is allowed to be uninitialized (for example have invalid bit patterns: `3` for a
286 ///   [`bool`]).
287 /// * The value is allowed to be mutated, when a `&Opaque<T>` exists on the Rust side.
288 /// * No uniqueness for mutable references: it is fine to have multiple `&mut Opaque<T>` point to
289 ///   the same value.
290 /// * The value is not allowed to be shared with other threads (i.e. it is `!Sync`).
291 ///
292 /// This has to be used for all values that the C side has access to, because it can't be ensured
293 /// that the C side is adhering to the usual constraints that Rust needs.
294 ///
295 /// Using [`Opaque<T>`] allows to continue to use references on the Rust side even for values shared
296 /// with C.
