const_mut_refs: allow mutable pointers to statics Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/118447 Writing this PR became a bit messy, see [Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/146212-t-compiler.2Fconst-eval/topic/Statics.20pointing.20to.20interior.20mutable.20statics) for some of my journey.^^ Turns out there was a long-standing bug in our qualif logic that led to us incorrectly classifying certain places as "no interior mut" when they actually had interior mut. Due to that the `const_refs_to_cell` feature gate was required far less often than it otherwise would, e.g. in [this code](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=9e0c042c451b3d11d64dd6263679a164). Fixing this however would be a massive breaking change all over libcore and likely the wider ecosystem. So I also changed the const-checking logic to just not require the feature gate for the affected cases. While doing so I discovered a bunch of logic that is not explained and that I could not explain. However I think stabilizing some const-eval feature will make most of that logic inconsequential so I just added some FIXMEs and left it at that. r? `@oli-obk` |
