This update addresses a critical boundary condition issue in the
skipmethod of theSourceimplementation for(Arc<Vec<G>>, usize).What was the issue?
Previously, the check for sufficient elements in the vector was incorrectly written as:
This condition only ensured that the current index
self.1was within bounds but did not account for the additionalamtelements being skipped. As a result, ifamtwas large enough, the resulting index (self.1 + amt) could exceed the vector's length, leading to undefined behavior or runtime panics when accessing elements out of bounds.What has been changed?
The condition has been updated to:
This guarantees that the entire range
[self.1, self.1 + amt)lies within the bounds of the vector, preventing invalid memory access.Why is this important?
amtin theskipmethod.amtelements, only if they exist.This change is critical for anyone relying on this functionality, especially in production scenarios involving complex computations or parallelism.
