Can you provide a minimal repro as a regression test?

[jonas-schievink]

(they should also be called raw pointers, not native, unless that terminology has changed recently)

[bjorn3]

struct Session {
    opts: u8
}

fn main() {
    let sess: &Session = &Session { opts: 0 };
    (sess as *const Session as *mut Session).opts = 42;
}

Edit: smaller repro
