pointer and mut question

[k1attila12]

j:=1111

mut i := &int(&j)

unsafe {
*i =2222
}

println(i)
println(typeof(i))
println(j)
println(typeof(j))

in this small example i can modify j even it is immutable.
is it normal or bug ? (i think it is bug)

if i change this line :
mut i := &int(&j)
to
mut i := &j

compiler can't compile it (very correctly) because of "j is immutable"

thank you

mut i := &int(&j)

Casting between pointer types should require unsafe, I started working on it but didn't finish it yet.

After this is merged, you will see this warning (which will become an error later):

ptrcast.v:3:11: warning: casting &int to &int is only allowed in unsafe code

Although the types are the same, the cast bypasses mutability checks.
