Description
I decided to implement linked lists on my own for educational reasons, mainly as a gateway to learning Unsafe Rust. However, I soon ran into UB, which my compiler didn't error about. I decided to go over and try my code on the Rust playground, where I discovered that my code errors out on the stable branch of the compiler but compiles just fine on the nightly one.
Here is a playground link to my code(I tried removing everything that was unnecessary in reproducing the issue)
I expected to see this happen: the nightly compiler to error out wrong code, just like the stable compiler does
Instead, this happened: the nightly compiler compiled my code just fine, which had undefined behaviour
