-//! For non-zero-sized values, a [`Box`] will use the [`Global`] allocator for
-//! its allocation. It is valid to convert both ways between a [`Box`] and a
-//! raw pointer allocated with the [`Global`] allocator, given that the
-//! [`Layout`] used with the allocator is correct for the type. More precisely,
-//! a `value: *mut T` that has been allocated with the [`Global`] allocator
-//! with `Layout::for_value(&*value)` may be converted into a box using
-//! [`Box::<T>::from_raw(value)`]. Conversely, the memory backing a `value: *mut
-//! T` obtained from [`Box::<T>::into_raw`] may be deallocated using the
-//! [`Global`] allocator with [`Layout::for_value(&*value)`].

-//! For zero-sized values, the `Box` pointer still has to be [valid] for reads
-//! and writes and sufficiently aligned. In particular, casting any aligned
-//! non-zero integer literal to a raw pointer produces a valid pointer, but a
-//! pointer pointing into previously allocated memory that since got freed is
-//! not valid. The recommended way to build a Box to a ZST if `Box::new` cannot
-//! be used is to use [`ptr::NonNull::dangling`].

+//! On top of these basic layout requirements, a `Box<T>` must point to a valid value of `T`.
