Disallow writing through mutable pointers stored in non-mut Box.
Fix #14270
The fix works by making
cmt::freely_aliasable
result more fine-grained.Instead of encoding the aliasability (i.e. whether the cmt is uniquely writable or not) as an option, now pass back an enum indicating either: 1. freely-aliasable (thus not uniquely-writable), 2. non-aliasable (thus uniquely writable), or 3. unique but immutable (and thus not uniquely writable, according to proposal from issue #14270.)
This is all of course a giant hack that will hopefully go away with an eventually removal of special treatment of
Box<T>
(akaty_unique
) from the compiler.
