📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updates function pointer casting patterns across multiple modules to use explicit intermediate pointer casts (*const ()) before final type conversion. Changes affect signal handler registration, hash sentinel detection, memory function address computation, and method descriptor comparison.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Signal Handler Casting
crates/stdlib/src/faulthandler.rs, crates/vm/src/stdlib/signal.rs
Function pointers cast to libc::sighandler_t now use intermediate *const () cast instead of direct type conversion for faulthandler fatal/user signal handlers and signal module handler installation
Pointer Address Computation
crates/vm/src/stdlib/ctypes.rs
Function addresses for _memmove_addr and _memset_addr computed via *const () intermediate cast before usize conversion instead of direct cast
Type-Unsafe Pointer Comparisons
crates/vm/src/class.rs, crates/vm/src/vm/method.rs
Hash sentinel detection and method descriptor comparison now use intermediate *const () pointer cast for safe type-level comparisons

Poem

🐰 Through pointers cast with careful care,
Each function finds its destined lair,
No direct leaps, just steps between,
The safest path our code has seen!
