Description
i.e. do not allow to create ThisModule
s without going through the constructor, even inside the kernel
crate.
In addition, we should ensure the pointer is not passed to other modules. A solution would be to only allow to read the pointer through an unsafe get()
method in ThisModule
which explains this restriction and making the get()
private outside kernel
(i.e. kernel modules should not need to access the pointer inside ThisModule
since they should not be calling the C bindings directly).
Furthermore, as a bonus, it would be nice to have a lint to warn about code creating ThisModule
's objects on their own. In general, modules should only use the THIS_MODULE
static
provided via module!
.
Finally, update the documentation as needed (e.g. currently we don't have an # Invariants
in the doc comments).
