`multiple_unsafe_ops_per_block`: false positive with `&raw mut <mutable global static>`

[DanielEScherzer]

Summary

Using &raw mut <mutable global static> to create a raw pointer reference but not read from or write to it, the operation is entirely safe:

static mut GLOBAL_INT: u32 = 5;

fn main() {
    let _ = &raw mut GLOBAL_INT;
}

however, a raw pointer reference created to pass to an unsafe function, multiple_unsafe_ops_per_block complains

Lint Name

multiple_unsafe_ops_per_block

Reproducer

I tried this code:

#![warn(clippy::multiple_unsafe_ops_per_block)]

static mut GLOBAL_INT: u32 = 5;

fn set_global_int(value: u32) {
    unsafe {
        std::ptr::copy_nonoverlapping(
            &raw const value,
            &raw mut GLOBAL_INT,
            1
        )
    };
}

fn main() {
    set_global_int(6);
}

I saw this happen:

I expected to see this happen:

Lint not triggered, the note: access of a mutable static occurs here note is for something that is entirely safe
