…-Wunsafe-buffer-usage,
there maybe accidental re-introduction of new OutOfBound accesses into the code bases. One such case is invoking span::data() method on a span variable to retrieve a pointer, which is then cast to a larger type and dereferenced. Such dereferences can introduce OutOfBound accesses.
To address this, a new WarningGadget is being introduced to warn against such invocations.
