Error code E0133

Unsafe code was used outside of an unsafe function or block.

Erroneous code example:

unsafe fn f() { return; } // This is the unsafe code

fn main() {
    f(); // error: call to unsafe function requires unsafe function or block
}
Run

Using unsafe functionality is potentially dangerous and disallowed by safety checks. Examples:

These safety checks can be relaxed for a section of the code by wrapping the unsafe instructions with an unsafe block. For instance:

unsafe fn f() { return; }

fn main() {
    unsafe { f(); } // ok!
}
Run

See the unsafe section of the Book for more details.
