Note that the “unsafe read beyond of death” trick is considered undefined behavior in the Rust and LLVM memory model, even if it’s allowed by the underlying hardware. Like any undefined behavior, compilers are allowed to assume it doesn’t happen for the purpose of optimization, leading to results you don’t expect. The only way around this is to use inline assembly. https://github.com/ogxd/gxhash/issues/82
