> In other words are the two pointers actually pointing to the same variable?

This statement is incorrect. You can't have pointers to a variable. You can have pointers to a memory address, and most people would be fine with a tool that is correct up to the level of being unable to differentiate that.

This is a disingenuous redefinition of what the GP is looking for in order to shill Rust.
