Expected Behaviour

Can cast [f32; 5] as Data { a: f32, b: [f32; 3], c: f32 }

Example & Steps To Reproduce

#[repr(C)]
#[derive(Clone, Copy)]
struct Data {
    a: f32,
    b: [f32; 3],
    c: f32,
}

union DataOrArray {
    arr: [f32; 5],
    str: Data,
}

impl DataOrArray {
    fn arr(self) -> [f32; 5] { unsafe { self.arr } }
    fn new(arr: [f32; 5]) -> Self { Self { arr } }
}

in shader:

let dora = DataOrArray::new([0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]);
let arr = dora.arr();

Produces:

error: cannot cast between pointer types
         from `*struct types::Data { a: f32, b: [f32; 3], c: f32 }`
           to `*[f32; 5]`
