We have a pass to add moves for drops in packed structs, but it doesn't fire in this case. That's because there's a bug - this computation cannot just take into account the innermost field, it needs to compute a minimum of some sort.
is this a regression? What did you exactly expected the output to be? (I'd like to run a bisection). thanks.
This was right in . Getting a consistent reproduction of this is slightly difficult because the reference might happen to align correctly by accident. In other words, the fact that the example above prints a pointer that is not 2-aligned means that something is certainly wrong. However, if the address were to be 2-aligned that could either be because the bug is fixed or because we happened to get lucky. The consistent way to check this is by looking at . In 1.52.0 the MIR contains which is correct (the move ensures that the resulting place is aligned) while 1.53.0 contains Note that there is no move.

I have run a bisection with on your . The bisection could not pinpoint a single commit, maybe it sinked into a rollup merge. But if it helps, the regression should be in and coming from one of these PRs do you see in any of those a possible culprit? (I don't have the context to)
Yeah, it's , cc
Not sure how would have an effect here, it should be a NOP for with . Looks like something else is amiss as well and that PR surfaced the bug? Where is the logic that moves packed structs to a new place before dropping implemented? That's odd, I would have expected this to be inside ... after all calling on a packed struct also has to do this move. Why does MIR building adjust the caller to satisfy a requirement that the callee should be responsible for?
the pass is called or something like that.
