Description

#2203 caused std::ptr::addr_of! to be emitted in tests, which is only available since 1.51.

Do tests fall under the guarantee? It'd be nice if this was called out in the changelog, if it was intentional.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with cargo test and --rust-target 1.47, then inspect the test code emitted after #2203 and the project’s changelog. Determine whether the stated Rust-version guarantee includes tests; done means the behavior is clarified and either compatibility is restored or the intentional limitation is documented.
