Allow casting mut array ref to mut ptr
Allow casting mut array ref to mut ptr
We now allow two new casts:
- mut array reference to mut ptr. Example:
let mut x: [usize; 2] = [0, 0];
let p = &mut x as *mut usize;
We allow casting const array references to const pointers so not
allowing mut references to mut pointers was inconsistent.
- mut array reference to const ptr. Example:
let mut x: [usize; 2] = [0, 0];
let p = &mut x as *const usize;
This was similarly inconsistent as we allow casting mut references to
const pointers.
Existing test 'vector-cast-weirdness' updated to test both cases.
