Expected Behaviour

The code should compile

Example & Steps To Reproduce

code:

 #[spirv(fragment)] 
 pub fn main(x: (usize, ())) {
    drop(&x.1); 
 }

result:

error: Cannot cast between pointer types
  --> examples/shaders/simplest-shader/src/lib.rs:44:55
   |
44 | #[spirv(fragment)] pub fn main(x: (usize, ())) { drop(&x.1); }
   |                                                       ^^^^
   |
   = note: from: *u32
   = note: to: *u8

error: Cannot offset a pointer to an arbitrary element

44 | #[spirv(fragment)] pub fn main(x: (usize, ())) { drop(&x.1); }
   |                                                       ^^^^

   |                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^

   = note: to: *struct () {  }

System Info

• Rust: [e.g. 1.49.0-nightly (1eaadebb3 2020-10-21)]
• OS: linux 6.2.9-arch1-1
• GPU: Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7

Start with the reproducer in examples/shaders/simplest-shader/src/lib.rs, especially the #[spirv(fragment)] function and the reference to x.1. Run the example and inspect the pointer-cast and arbitrary-offset errors. Done means this valid-looking struct containing a zero-sized tuple field compiles without those errors.
