src/tools/miri/tests/pass/too-large-primval-write-problem.rs

// `PrimVal`s in Miri are represented with 8 bytes (u64) and at the time of writing, the `-x`
// will sign extend into the entire 8 bytes. Then, if you tried to write the `-x` into
// something smaller than 8 bytes, like a 4 byte pointer, it would crash in byteorder crate
// code that assumed only the low 4 bytes would be set. Actually, we were masking properly for
// everything except pointers before I fixed it, so this was probably impossible to reproduce on
// 64-bit.
//
// This is just intended as a regression test to make sure we don't reintroduce this problem.
