    /// The `temporary_cstring_as_ptr` lint detects getting the inner pointer of
    /// a temporary `CString`.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// # #![allow(unused)]
    /// # use std::ffi::CString;
    /// let c_str = CString::new("foo").unwrap().as_ptr();
    /// ```
    ///
    /// {{produces}}
    ///
    /// ### Explanation
    ///
    /// The inner pointer of a `CString` lives only as long as the `CString` it
    /// points to. Getting the inner pointer of a *temporary* `CString` allows the `CString`
    /// to be dropped at the end of the statement, as it is not being referenced as far as the typesystem
    /// is concerned. This means outside of the statement the pointer will point to freed memory, which
    /// causes undefined behavior if the pointer is later dereferenced.
