[PATCH v3 0/4] Update thread safety markers
From: Alice Ryhl
Date: Wed May 31 2023 - 11:00:16 EST
In Rust, the `Send` and `Sync` traits are used to mark in what ways a
specific type is thread safe. In this patch series, I add some missing
thread safety markers and improve the documentation related to them.
This change will let you compile some code that would currently fail to
compile even though it doesn't actually violate any thread safety rules.
You can find a definition of what these marker traits mean at [1].
Changes since v2:
* Removed "for example" as suggested in [2].
* Added Reviewed-by annotations from v2 review.
