Description
Summary
gccrs lets you assign structs to variables, when rustc emits "expected value, found struct ..."
Reproducer
I tried this code:
struct A {
a: u32,
}
fn main() {
let a = A {a: 4};
let b = A;
a.a = 2;
}
Does the code make use of any (1.49) nightly feature ?

Actual behavior
The current behavior is...
The code compiles.
Expected behavior
I expected to see...
error[E0423]: expected value, found struct `A`
--> main.rs:7:13
|
1 | / struct A {
2 | | a: u32,
3 | | }
| |_- `A` defined here
...
7 | let b = A;

Research direction
Start by compiling the provided Rust reproducer with gccrs at commit c83b22a6932240194879ea7d9e783a4c0daf1b79 and compare the result with rustc's expected E0423 diagnostic. Done means gccrs rejects let b = A; as an invalid value while continuing to accept the valid struct construction.
