> Constructing an invalid pointer in rust is UB
no, it is dereferencing, not constructing, an invalid pointer, that is UB. there is even a safe function provided to construct an invalid but non-null pointer: `https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ptr/fn.dangling.html`
you're of course 100% right, I was so proud of my nerd joke that I got like the most basic rust safety rule wrong :(
