# Single-Bit Unaligned Read This reads the bit out of `src` directly. It uses compiler intrinsics to tolerate an unaligned `T` address. However, because `BitPtr` has a type invariant that addresses are always well-aligned (and non-null), this has no benefit or purpose. ## Original [`ptr::read_unaligned`](core::ptr::read_unaligned) ## Safety Because this performs a dereference of memory, it inherits the original `ptr::read_unaligned`’s requirements: - `src` must be valid to read. - `src` must point to an initialized value of `T`. ## Examples ```rust use bitvec::prelude::*; use bitvec::ptr as bv_ptr; let data = 128u8; let ptr = BitPtr::<_, _, Msb0>::from_ref(&data); assert!(unsafe { bv_ptr::read_unaligned(ptr) }); ```
