Because the new
Errnofrom wasi, which replacedError, can actually hold 0.Errno::as_rawreturnsu16, which may be zero, thus invalidating the previous code callingNonZeroU32::new_unchecked. However handling zero ourselves ensures we can callNonZeroU32::new_uncheckedagain.There was a problem hiding this comment.

But it won't actually be zero if the function returns
Err, so it seems fine.Uh oh!

It would mean that soundness of our code relies on an implementation detail of
