still run fine in Miri -- but might break (including causing UB) on different
compiler versions or different platforms.
* Program execution is non-deterministic when it depends, for example, on where
exactly in memory allocations end up. Miri tests one of many possible
executions of your program. If your code is sensitive to allocation base
addresses or other non-deterministic data, try running Miri with different
values for `-Zmiri-seed` to test different executions.
exactly in memory allocations end up, or on the exact interleaving of
concurrent threads. Miri tests one of many possible executions of your
program. You can alleviate this to some extend by running Miri with different
values for `-Zmiri-seed`, but that will still by far not explore all possible
executions.
* Miri runs the program as a platform-independent interpreter, so the program
has no access to most platform-specific APIs or FFI. A few APIs have been
implemented (such as printing to stdout) but most have not: for example, Miri
currently does not support SIMD or networking.
* Miri currently does not check for data-races and most other concurrency-related
issues.
