Description
Currently one can tell Miri that, e.g., AVX is available by setting -C target-feature="avx". However, that corresponds to building a binary that statically requires AVX to be available. For real Rust, there's also the possibility of building code without AVX being globally available, but then at run-time detecting AVX to be available. It would be great if Miri could emulate that.
This will require at least:
- Some way to set which features are dynamically available. Probably something like
-Zmiri-target-feature. - Making sure that
is_target_feature_enabled!respects this dynamic set.
The test added in #3099 can then be made more subtle by enabling AVX dynamically, at which point the currently reported UB should disappear -- but we should still see UB due to the ABI mismatch!
