 how arrays are laid out in memory.
 * For a struct, however, in general we do not know how it is laid out, and we
 also cannot use `&mut base_ptr.field` as that would be creating a
-reference. So, you must carefully use the [`addr_of_mut`] macro. This creates
+reference. So, you must carefully use the [raw reference][raw_reference] syntax. This creates
 a raw pointer to the field without creating an intermediate reference:
