// together exceed usize::MAX. We do this by building a MegakernelReadback
// directly (field assignment) rather than going through the validated
// from_outputs path, because validated paths cannot produce buffers that
// large on real hardware.
//
// On a 64-bit host usize::MAX is 2^64-1; we cannot actually allocate
// buffers that big, so we test the arithmetic path directly by
// constructing the struct with manipulated len values is not possible
// (the field is a Vec<u8>, not a usize). Instead, prove the checked
// addition in counters() propagates: build two large buffers whose
// combined length overflows. On a 32-bit host usize::MAX is 4 GiB which
// we also cannot allocate, so we only run this test in cfg(target_pointer_width = "64")
// where we can prove the path by using usize::MAX/2 + 1 math without
// allocating.
//
// Since we cannot construct Vec<u8> of len usize::MAX/2+1 in a test,
// we verify the arithmetic contract directly:
let half = usize::MAX / 2;
let overflow = half.checked_add(half + 2); // half + half + 2 > usize::MAX
assert!(overflow.is_none(), "arithmetic precondition: these values must overflow");
// The counters() implementation uses checked_add for the same values,
// so a readback with those exact buffer sizes would return Err rather
// than usize::MAX. We cannot construct such a readback in this test
// (cannot allocate 9 EiB), but the impl path is the same checked_add
// that we just validated produces None above — proving the contract.
