TransactionDB open_default panic

[fansehep]

This demo in my laptop, it will panic.

use rocksdb::TransactionDB;

fn main() {
    let _db: TransactionDB = rocksdb::TransactionDB::open_default("./rocks_data").unwrap();
    
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

output:

thread 'main' panicked at library/core/src/panicking.rs:220:5:
unsafe precondition(s) violated: ptr::copy_nonoverlapping requires that both pointer arguments are aligned and non-null and the specified memory ranges do not overlap

I'm confused about this.

I switch the rustc to stable, it will be ok. :(

i have the same case, just call open_default, and then panic.

std::ptr::copy_nonoverlapping(ptr, vec.as_mut_ptr(), cnt); the ptr parameter is NULL, so it will panic

Same, but only during tests

I Have the same issue

unsafe precondition(s) violated: ptr::copy_nonoverlapping requires that both pointer arguments 

are aligned and non-null and the specified memory ranges do not overlap

any idea why this happens?

[pragmaxim]

It only happens with

rustc 1.78.0 AND 1.80.0-nightly

but not

rustc 1.75.0

Testing with :

rocksdb = "0.22.0" AND 0.21.0

let mut opts = Options::default();
opts.create_if_missing(true);
let txn_db_opts = TransactionDBOptions::default();
let db = TransactionDB::open(&opts, &txn_db_opts, db_path).unwrap();

Workaround:

rocksdb = { git = "https://github.com/rust-rocksdb/rust-rocksdb", rev = "1cf906dc4087f06631820f13855e6b27bd21b972" }

The other commits between 0.22.0 and that one are very minor.
