| This month saw steady progress on our checklist. dingxiangfei2009's PR renaming `derive(SmartPointer)` to `derive(CoercePointee)` was merged and he began the work to port the RFL codebase to use the new name. Alice Ryhl opened [RFC #3716](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3716) proposing a way to manage compiler flags that alter the ABI and discussion (and some implementation work) has ensued. Finally, we landed [PR #119364](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/119364) making target blocks in asm-goto safe by default; this was based directly on experience from RFL which showed that [safe would be more useful]. We are still working to finalize another extension to asm-goto that arose from RFL requirements, [allowing `const` to support embedded pointers](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/128464). Finally we prepared [reference PR #1610](https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/issues/1610) describing the change to permit [Pointers to Statics in Constants](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/119618) that was stabilized last month. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Sorry, should have reviewed this more closely. @nikomatsakis where is [safe would be more useful] supposed to link to?
