Conceptually, this is attempting to get the base address of the openArray.
openArray
I checked that it so far seemed to always return the same results, where applicable, as the unsafeAddr mem[0] approach, and
unsafeAddr mem[0]
proc baseAddr*[T](x: openArray[T]): pointer = cast[pointer](x)
from nim-stew, while using pointer rather than ptr byte, suggests that this should work as well.
nim-stew
pointer
ptr byte
It compiles to
head = ((NU8*) (mem));
which is correct, as well.
