Details

/gfx/wgpu/wgpu-core is a Rust API layer that essentially gets a lot of raw input. We have to do a lot of pointer to reference conversions there, and it's obviously not safe. It is, however, safe, if the client of wgpu-core guarantees that any pointer is either NULL, or points to a valid structure. This documentation should be put in the root of wgpu-core somewhere.
