Invalid code gen when passing none % 8 == 0 sized field to a function taking a &const to the fields type

fn toInt(value: *const u7) u7 {
    return value.*;
}

pub const LevelUpMove = packed struct {
    move_id: u9,
    level: u7,
};

test "" {
    var lup: LevelUpMove = undefined;
    _ = toInt(lup.level);
}

Call parameter type does not match function signature!

Ah, this is a missing compile error. Here's the error you get if you explicitly pass a pointer:

test.zig:12:19: error: expected type '*const u7', found '*align(:9:16) u7'
    _ = toInt(&lup.level);
                  ^

I was able to make it work fine.
