Uninitialized in a static is surprising, isn't it, it doesn't have much purpose other than if miri can potentially use it in analysis? Can't we easily just initialize this at no cost, since it's in a static?
Uh oh!

The header is also used at run-time, and this data is not always initialized, so it needs to have type
MaybeUninit
.I don't see the point of trying to initialize this to anything else.

The only point would be to code defensively, sort of like the safe practices one learns to use in C. Requires saying that a bug with use of uninit value would be worse than a bug where we access an initialized but bogus value. (So this is where Miri comes in? It could diagnose the former better!?)
This is absolutely not a big deal, but I like to remember that we need to be defensive in Rust and not just have one line of defence.

If
MaybeUninit::zeroed()
wasconst fn
I'd be happy to r+ a PR that uses that, but currently I don't see a good way to do anything more defensive. Do you have a concrete suggestion?There was a problem hiding this comment.

if Maybeuninit::new(0) would work, that would be it, but that's all. I think it works?

I have only one project in rust-lang/rust right now, that's #56440, so I can try after that.
