-//! Utility functions to deal with callbacks from C to Rust.
-
-use std::{mem, ptr::NonNull};
-
-/// Trait for functions (types implementing [`Fn`]) that can be used as
-/// callbacks. These include both zero-capture closures and function pointers.
-///
-/// In Rust, calling a function through the `Fn` trait normally requires a
-/// `self` parameter, even though for zero-sized functions (including function
-/// pointers) the type itself contains all necessary information to call the
-/// function. This trait provides a `call` function that doesn't require `self`,
-/// allowing zero-sized functions to be called using only their type.
-///
-/// This enables zero-sized functions to be passed entirely through generic
-/// parameters and resolved at compile-time. A typical use is a function
-/// receiving an unused parameter of generic type `F` and calling it via
-/// `F::call` or passing it to another function via `func::<F>`.
-///
-/// QEMU uses this trick to create wrappers to C callbacks.  The wrappers
-/// are needed to convert an opaque `*mut c_void` into a Rust reference,
-/// but they only have a single opaque that they can use.  The `FnCall`
-/// trait makes it possible to use that opaque for `self` or any other
-/// reference:
-///
-/// ```ignore
-/// // The compiler creates a new `rust_bh_cb` wrapper for each function
-/// // passed to `qemu_bh_schedule_oneshot` below.
-/// unsafe extern "C" fn rust_bh_cb<T, F: for<'a> FnCall<(&'a T,)>>(
-///     opaque: *mut c_void,
-/// ) {
-///     // SAFETY: the opaque was passed as a reference to `T`.
-///     F::call((unsafe { &*(opaque.cast::<T>()) }, ))
-/// }
-///
-/// // The `_f` parameter is unused but it helps the compiler build the appropriate `F`.
-/// // Using a reference allows usage in const context.
-/// fn qemu_bh_schedule_oneshot<T, F: for<'a> FnCall<(&'a T,)>>(_f: &F, opaque: &T) {
-///     let cb: unsafe extern "C" fn(*mut c_void) = rust_bh_cb::<T, F>;
-///     unsafe {
-///         bindings::qemu_bh_schedule_oneshot(cb, opaque as *const T as *const c_void as *mut c_void)
-///     }
-/// }
-/// ```
-///
-/// Each wrapper is a separate instance of `rust_bh_cb` and is therefore
-/// compiled to a separate function ("monomorphization").  If you wanted
-/// to pass `self` as the opaque value, the generic parameters would be
-/// `rust_bh_cb::<Self, F>`.
-///
-/// `Args` is a tuple type whose types are the arguments of the function,
-/// while `R` is the returned type.
-///
-/// # Examples
-///
-/// ```
-/// # use qemu_api::callbacks::FnCall;
-/// fn call_it<F: for<'a> FnCall<(&'a str,), String>>(_f: &F, s: &str) -> String {
-///     F::call((s,))
-/// }
-///
-/// let s: String = call_it(&str::to_owned, "hello world");
-/// assert_eq!(s, "hello world");
-/// ```
-///
-/// Note that the compiler will produce a different version of `call_it` for
-/// each function that is passed to it.  Therefore the argument is not really
-/// used, except to decide what is `F` and what `F::call` does.
-///
-/// Attempting to pass a non-zero-sized closure causes a compile-time failure:
-///
-/// ```compile_fail
-/// # use qemu_api::callbacks::FnCall;
-/// # fn call_it<'a, F: FnCall<(&'a str,), String>>(_f: &F, s: &'a str) -> String {
-/// #     F::call((s,))
-/// # }
-/// let x: &'static str = "goodbye world";
-/// call_it(&move |_| String::from(x), "hello workd");
-/// ```
-///
-/// `()` can be used to indicate "no function":
-///
-/// ```
-/// # use qemu_api::callbacks::FnCall;
-/// fn optional<F: for<'a> FnCall<(&'a str,), String>>(_f: &F, s: &str) -> Option<String> {
-///     if F::IS_SOME {
-///         Some(F::call((s,)))
-///     } else {
-///         None
-///     }
-/// }
-///
-/// assert!(optional(&(), "hello world").is_none());
-/// ```
-///
-/// Invoking `F::call` will then be a run-time error.
-///
-/// ```should_panic
-/// # use qemu_api::callbacks::FnCall;
-/// # fn call_it<F: for<'a> FnCall<(&'a str,), String>>(_f: &F, s: &str) -> String {
-/// #     F::call((s,))
-/// # }
-/// let s: String = call_it(&(), "hello world"); // panics
-/// ```
-///
-/// # Safety
-///
-/// Because `Self` is a zero-sized type, all instances of the type are
-/// equivalent. However, in addition to this, `Self` must have no invariants
-/// that could be violated by creating a reference to it.
-///
-/// This is always true for zero-capture closures and function pointers, as long
-/// as the code is able to name the function in the first place.
