I am trying to create a variable on the stack and one on the heap:

fn main() {
   let mut x = 1;
   let mut y = &x;
   let mut z = Box::new(x);
   let mut w = Box::new(2);

   println!("&x = {:p}", &x);
   println!("&y = {:p}", &y);
   println!("&z = {:p}", &z);
   println!("&w = {:p}", &w);
}

This is the output:

&x = 0x7fffe51ba364
&y = 0x7fffe51ba368
&z = 0x7fffe51ba370
&w = 0x7fffe51ba378

All these addresses are consecutive, while I would expect the last one to be farther away, since it should be allocated on the heap.

What am I doing wrong?
