literal, or by taking the address of a local variable may also have their
memory pinned using [runtime.Pinner]. This type may be used to manage
the duration of the memory's pinned status, potentially beyond the
duration of a C function call. Memory may be pinned more than once and
must be unpinned exactly the same number of times it has been pinned.

Go code may pass a Go pointer to C provided the memory to which it

The array underlying a slice may extend past the end of the slice.
The <i>capacity</i> is a measure of that extent: it is the sum of
the length of the slice and the length of the array beyond the slice;
a slice of length up to that capacity can be created by
<a href="#Slice_expressions"><i>slicing</i></a> a new one from the original slice.
The capacity of a slice <code>a</code> can be discovered using the

			return false // Negative values are never okay
		case cur.Offset > math.MaxInt64-cur.Length:
			return false // Integer overflow with large length
		case cur.endOffset() > size:
			return false // Region extends beyond the actual size
		case pre.endOffset() > cur.Offset:
			return false // Regions cannot overlap and must be in order
		}
		pre = cur
	}
	return true
}
