Descrizione

When performing relocations in cranelift-jit, there are many introductions of a variable what that's defined as an unsafe pointer offset. These variables are almost always cast to usize or isize before they're used, so perhaps we should instead turn the base pointer into its target numeric type eagerly, to avoid needing the unsafe blocks for calling the offset method on the pointers.
