Description
Problem*
Finally Resolves #2911. There were several issues hidden there.
Summary*
In the simplified source code from the original bug:
It turns out the panic was actually correct - it should have been unreachable. It stemmed from the mutation on
slice
whenslice
was not declared as mutable. Importantly, you can mutate mutable references through dereferencing them, but you should not have been able to swap out the reference itself.I've fixed the mutability check to allow
*slice = slice.push_back(1)
(as before), but now disallowslice = &mut ...
unless slice was also marked mutable.Documentation
This PR requires documentation updates when merged.
