An invalid use of MaybeUninit::uninit().assume_init()
in simd-json-derive
's derive macro can cause undefined behavior. The original code used MaybeUninit
to avoid initialisation of the struct and then set the fields using ptr::write
. The undefined behavior triggered by this misuse of MaybeUninit
can lead to invlaid memory access and panics in binaries compiled in release mode (aka simd-json-derive prior to version 0.12 has UB and optimizes into some nonsense)
The version 0.12.0
removes this section of code, avoiding the use of MaybeUninit alltogether.
