In Rust 1.72.0, Clippy introduced the `ptr_cast_constness` lint [1]: > Though `as` casts between raw pointers are not terrible, > `pointer::cast_mut` and `pointer::cast_const` are safer because they > cannot accidentally cast the pointer to another type. There are only 2 affected sites: - `*mut T as *const U as *mut U` becomes `(*mut T).cast()` - `&self as *const Self as *mut Self` becomes a reference-to-pointer coercion + `(*const Self).cast()`. Apply these changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.
