Description
The feature gate for the issue is #![feature(offset_of_slice)].
This is a tracking issue for allowing offset_of to determine the offset of unsized fields whose tail is a slice, and hence their alignment and their offset is statically known.
Steps
- Implement the RFC
- Adjust documentation (see instructions on rustc-dev-guide)
- Formatting for new syntax has been added to the Style Guide (nightly-style-procedure)
- Stabilization PR: #139673
