Description

The Matrix2::swap_columns, Matrix3::swap_columns, and Matrix4::swap_columns implementations call ptr::swap(&mut self[a], &mut self[b]).

When a == b, these safe APIs create two mutable references to the same matrix column and pass them to ptr::swap. This violates Rust's aliasing rules and can trigger undefined behavior. The issue can be reproduced from safe Rust by calling swap_columns with identical column indices, for example m.swap_columns(0, 0).

A minimal fix is to return early when the two column indices are equal before calling ptr::swap.
