is in bounds. The argument is dereferenced, even if the value is thrown away. AddressSanitizer reports an error on the dereference for these functions when running the NumPy test suite. It's unclear to me whether this is a legal fix or not, or whether we need to work harder to find a valid pointer that points within one of the arrays. This depends deeply on the semantics of `volatile` in C and I'm not 100% sure.

ctors.cthis is a use after free.array_assign_array.cthis is an out-of-bounds heap access.Since I don't think it matters exactly which pointer we choose for the
floatstatuscode, changed to use another level of indirection. It's unclear to me whether this is a legal fix or not, or whether we need to work harder to find a valid pointer that points within one of the arrays. This depends deeply on the semantics ofvolatilein C and I'm not 100% sure.
