Since Go 1.21 there is a runtime.Pinner API that allows to safely pass structures with embedded Go pointers to C code. In earlier Go version we know that the garbage collector is non-moving, so it is safe to pass Go pointers to C as well. This change adds two implementations of PtrGuard, one for pre 1.21 that is basically a no-op, and one for 1.21+ that uses runtime.Pinner. Signed-off-by: Sven Anderson <[email protected]>

Looks good on first glance. I want to look at it once more with fresh eyes so I have not approved yet, but I expect to approve it some time in the next couple of days. |

This is more of a learning for me / double check, can you confirm if this will work correctly on go 1.22 and later? I searched for the precise syntax here and only found articles on the general syntax of build tags and the change from "+build" to "go:build". sigh

"a term for each Go major release, through the current version: "go1.1" from Go version 1.1 onward, "go1.12" from Go 1.12, and so on."
