alexcrichton opened PR #14593 from alexcrichton:document-backwards-epochs to bytecodealliance:main:
This commit updates the documentation of
set_epoch_deadlineto indicate that lowering the deadline beyond what it previously was is not a supported operation. While we could in theory support this, detect it, or something else it feels a bit too niche for warranting much worry. Nevertheless seems good to document though.<!--
