In platforms with sub-64bit alignment for usize (including wasm32 and x86) these writes are insufficiently aligned some of the time. If using an ordinary optimized standard library, the bug exhibits Undefined Behavior so may or may not behave in any sensible way, depending on optimization settings and hardware and other …
