The pointer is being copied via typedmemmove, which itself calls memmove, which, according to its documentation, copies bytes from the source to the destination. Not sure why that would be impossible, considering it does work for some code (the source pointer preserves its data)
Not sure what you mean by "copied via unsafe". Also, the source pointer never goes out of scope. It's part of a struct that is passed to the function that calls typedmemmove, and its lifetime is more or less static. So while the destination pointers go out of scope, the source one never does.
