208 ///
209 /// `Opaque<T>` is meant to be used with FFI objects that are never interpreted by Rust code.
210 ///
211 /// It is used to wrap structs from the C side, like for example `Opaque<bindings::mutex>`.
212 /// It gets rid of all the usual assumptions that Rust has for a value:
213 ///
214 /// * The value is allowed to be uninitialized (for example have invalid bit patterns: `3` for a
215 ///   [`bool`]).
216 /// * The value is allowed to be mutated, when a `&Opaque<T>` exists on the Rust side.
217 /// * No uniqueness for mutable references: it is fine to have multiple `&mut Opaque<T>` point to
218 ///   the same value.
219 /// * The value is not allowed to be shared with other threads (i.e. it is `!Sync`).
220 ///
221 /// This has to be used for all values that the C side has access to, because it can't be ensured
222 /// that the C side is adhering to the usual constraints that Rust needs.
223 ///
224 /// Using `Opaque<T>` allows to continue to use references on the Rust side even for values shared
225 /// with C.

486 /// ```
487 /// use kernel::types::Either;
488 ///
489 /// let left_value: Either<i32, &str> = Either::Left(7);
490 /// let right_value: Either<i32, &str> = Either::Right("right value");

500 /// Zero-sized type to mark types not [`Send`].
501 ///
502 /// Add this type as a field to your struct if your type should not be sent to a different task.
503 /// Since [`Send`] is an auto trait, adding a single field that is `!Send` will ensure that the
504 /// whole type is `!Send`.
505 ///
506 /// If a type is `!Send` it is impossible to give control over an instance of the type to another
507 /// task. This is useful to include in types that store or reference task-local information. A file
508 /// descriptor is an example of such task-local information.
509 ///
510 /// This type also makes the type `!Sync`, which prevents immutable access to the value from
511 /// several threads in parallel.
