Pull request overview

This PR removes a const-to-mut raw pointer cast in the allocator’s chunk iteration path by keeping the chunk allocation pointer mutable through ChunkFooter::as_raw_parts, which aligns better with ChunkRawIter’s (*mut u8, usize) item type.

Changes:

  • Change ChunkFooter::as_raw_parts to return *mut u8 instead of *const u8.
  • Remove the ptr.cast_mut() in ChunkRawIter::next() by returning the mutable pointer directly.
