Which got me thinking surely we could make it a bit better and we do already support a bunch of intrinsics and while loops so i came up with this example:
// { dg-options "-w" }
mod intrinsics {
extern "rust-intrinsic" {
#[rustc_const_stable(feature = "const_ptr_offset", since = "1.61.0")]
pub fn offset<T>(ptr: *const T, count: isize) -> *const T;
}
}
mod mem {
extern "rust-intrinsic" {
fn size_of<T>() -> usize;
fn transmute<T, U>(_: T) -> U;
}
}
extern "C" {
fn printf(s: *const i8, ...);
}
struct FatPtr<T> {
data: *const T,
len: usize,
}
pub union Repr<T> {
rust: *const [T],
rust_mut: *mut [T],
raw: FatPtr<T>,
}
pub enum Option<T> {
None,
Some(T),
}
#[lang = "Range"]
pub struct Range<Idx> {
pub start: Idx,
pub end: Idx,
}
#[lang = "const_slice_ptr"]
impl<T> *const [T] {
pub const fn len(self) -> usize {
unsafe { Repr { rust: self }.raw.len }
}
pub const fn as_ptr(self) -> *const T {
self as *const T
}
}
#[lang = "const_ptr"]
impl<T> *const T {
pub const unsafe fn offset(self, count: isize) -> *const T {
unsafe { intrinsics::offset(self, count) }
}
pub const unsafe fn add(self, count: usize) -> Self {
unsafe { self.offset(count as isize) }
}
pub const fn as_ptr(self) -> *const T {
self as *const T
}
}

unsafe {

}

}
}
#[lang = "index"]
trait Index<Idx> {

fn index(&self, index: Idx) -> &Self::Output;
}
impl<T> [T] {

}

// SAFETY: the caller guarantees that `slice` is not dangling, so it
// cannot be longer than `isize::MAX`. They also guarantee that
// `self` is in bounds of `slice` so `self` cannot overflow an `isize`,

unsafe { slice.as_ptr().add(self) }
}
fn index(self, slice: &[T]) -> &T {
unsafe { &*self.get_unchecked(slice) }
}
}
unsafe impl<T> SliceIndex<[T]> for Range<usize> {
