Duplicated documentation for primitive type pointer

[d-e-s-o]

Please have a look at

(source https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.pointer.html)

It appears that for some reason the documentation for primitive type pointer contains a duplicated set of documentation links. is_null, as_ref and all subsequent methods appear twice in the pane on the left. The links are exactly identical from what I can tell. Not sure whether the problems lies with Rust doc, the documentation itself, or some part of the doc.rust-lang.org( infrastructure (unlikely, I guess).

I believe this is a duplicate; there’s an old issue about NonNull. I’m on my phone so I can’t look for it right now.

The issue comes from rustdoc. I think it's because of methods on dereference item. Taking a look.

isn't this duplication just a result of *const T and *mut T being distinct types?

[GuillaumeGomez]

Possibly.
