* **In [const context](const_eval.md#const-context)**: transmuting or otherwise
reinterpreting a pointer (reference, raw pointer, or function pointer) into
some allocated object as a non-pointer type (such as integers).
some allocation as a non-pointer type (such as integers).
'Reinterpreting' refers to loading the pointer value at integer type without a
cast, e.g. by doing raw pointer casts or using a union.

Static items do not call [`drop`] at the end of the program.
