Description

The project doesn't currently support all rust constructs. It's not clear what is supported and what is not, so users will suddenly trip over issues.

One idea to generate such a list is to try to compile (not run) all no_std and no alloc crates on crates.io and see which fail...similar to what miri does.

Another way would be to create a rust program generator and "fuzz".

Research direction

Start by reviewing the project's current Rust construct support and how unsupported constructs are detected. Compare the proposed approaches: compiling no_std and no_alloc crates from crates.io, or generating and fuzzing Rust programs. Done should include a defined corpus or generator and a documented view of which constructs are supported.
