14 // Pointer checking for cgo code.
16 // We want to detect all cases where a program that does not use
17 // unsafe makes a cgo call passing a Go pointer to memory that
18 // contains a Go pointer. Here a Go pointer is defined as a pointer
19 // to memory allocated by the Go runtime. Programs that use unsafe
20 // can evade this restriction easily, so we don't try to catch them.
21 // The cgo program will rewrite all possibly bad pointer arguments to
22 // call cgoCheckPointer, where we can catch cases of a Go pointer
23 // pointing to a Go pointer.
25 // Complicating matters, taking the address of a slice or array
26 // element permits the C program to access all elements of the slice
27 // or array. In that case we will see a pointer to a single element,
28 // but we need to check the entire data structure.
30 // The cgoCheckPointer call takes additional arguments indicating that
31 // it was called on an address expression. An additional argument of
32 // true means that it only needs to check a single element. An
33 // additional argument of a slice or array means that it needs to
34 // check the entire slice/array, but nothing else. Otherwise, the
35 // pointer could be anything, and we check the entire heap object,
36 // which is conservative but safe.
38 // When and if we implement a moving garbage collector,
39 // cgoCheckPointer will pin the pointer for the duration of the cgo
40 // call. (This is necessary but not sufficient; the cgo program will
41 // also have to change to pin Go pointers that cannot point to Go
44 // cgoCheckPointer checks if the argument contains a Go pointer that
45 // points to a Go pointer, and panics if it does.
