Addresses the failure in #2434
Subtractions from
Instantcan underflow (and thus panic), because theu64stored internally might be relative to some startup time that might be too recent.This is what caused the failure in Wasm: The instant was relative to the process startup time, in one case ~15s, but the
loss_delaywas set to ~17s in that case.Instead, this PR aims to compare the saturated difference of
nowandinfo.time_sent, and see if that's bigger thanloss_delayor not.Unfortunately I don't know of a different way of resolving this. There's no such thing as
Instant::saturating_sub, and there's noInstant::MINor similar with which it could be implemented.Even though this addresses a problem in Wasm, this case can also happen in MacOS and other platforms, but requires different, less common edge-cases to trigger.
