Use of soft-deprecated macro

[Riceman2000]

The macro addr_of_mut!(expr) has been soft-deprecated and should be replaced with &raw mut expr.

Do you know when this syntax was introduced? I'm curious if it has an impact on the supported rust versions.

[Riceman2000]

I have tried to find this, I opened a PR but I agree that if this alone affects MSRV it is not worth the change. I will continue to look.

[Riceman2000]

I will leave this up to the maintainers but this feature was stabilized in 1.82.0. In the README.md the line "Starting with Rust 1.68..." could be taken as the MSRV, if this is the case, this would be a significant jump in MSRV for a minor change.

🤷

it's not a MSRV issue if it only affects the examples though?

[Riceman2000]

Honestly I think not, but it could be frustrating to copy and paste the example code and get an error. Normally I would not care but the embedded software community loves to use older software versions.
Of course this could be solved with some comments in the docs.
