Description
With go1.21 on my machine, it is allowed to convert a dangling pointer/address to uintptr then to unsafe.Pointer like so var ptr unsafe.Pointer = unsafe.Pointer(uintptr(1)). And I think it would be a performace boost if avoiding memory allocation.

Research direction
The issue only identifies Go 1.21 and an unsafe.Pointer conversion; no file, test, or entry point is named. Start by inspecting the repository’s public pointer-conversion API and any allocation-related tests or benchmarks. Done would require a decided scope and evidence that the proposed change is safe and provides the intended performance benefit.
