17 /// When dealing with `c_void` raw pointers in FFI, it is easy to run into the pitfall of calling `from_raw` with the `c_void` pointer.
18 /// The type signature of `Box::from_raw` is `fn from_raw(raw: *mut T) -> Box<T>`, so if you pass a `*mut c_void` you will get a `Box<c_void>` (and similarly for `Rc`, `Arc` and `Weak`).
