I have a C impl of that that is setting 4 elements of a Rust allocated `Vec<Option<Element>>` and the second half are `None` for some reason.

std::mem::transmute(/* *mut c_void */ pointer)

static EXAMPLE_V: unsafe extern "C" fn();

(modified for brevity)

The transmute is mad about going from the pointer to T because T isn't constrained to be addr wide.

What's some decent grease for a new #Voron build? I want some that I can run to a hardware store in the US and pick up so I don't have to wait as long.
