    /// When this function is used during const evaluation, it may return `false` for pointers

    /// is offset beyond its bounds in such a way that the resulting pointer is null,

    /// the absolute position of that memory, so we cannot tell if the pointer is
    /// null or not.

    ///
    /// ```
    /// let mut s = [1, 2, 3];
    /// let ptr: *mut u32 = s.as_mut_ptr();
    /// assert!(!ptr.is_null());
