Unsafe code was used outside of an unsafe block. Erroneous code example: ```compile_fail,E0133 unsafe fn f() { return; } // This is the unsafe code fn main() { f(); // error: call to unsafe function requires unsafe function or block } ``` Using unsafe functionality is potentially dangerous and disallowed by safety checks. Examples: * Dereferencing raw pointers * Calling functions via FFI * Calling functions marked unsafe These safety checks can be relaxed for a section of the code by wrapping the unsafe instructions with an `unsafe` block. For instance: ``` unsafe fn f() { return; } fn main() { unsafe { f(); } // ok! } ``` See the [unsafe section][unsafe-section] of the Book for more details. #### Unsafe code in functions Unsafe code is currently accepted in unsafe functions, but that is being phased out in favor of requiring unsafe blocks here too. ``` unsafe fn f() { return; } unsafe fn g() { f(); // Is accepted, but no longer recommended unsafe { f(); } // Recommended way to write this } ``` Linting against this is controlled via the `unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn` lint, which is `allow` by default but will be upgraded to `warn` in a future edition.
