Safe mode: Difference between revisions

Julia does not have a "sandbox" mode that restricts access to operating system resources such as files, since this is considered to be the province of the underlying operating system. Julia does have functions that handle undelying OS memory resources similar to C type pointers. Such functions, including <pre> unsafe_wrap unsafe_read unsafe_load unsafe_write unsafe_trunc unsafe_string unsafe_store! unsafe_copyto! </pre> are prefixed with "unsafe_" to indicate that a memory access fault could be generated if arguments to those functions are in error.
