The Rust compiler backend for .NET can now compile std with (numerous) errors, and supports allocation (Box, Vec, String, etc.)

  This rust compiler backend(module) emmits valid CIL (.NET IR), enabling you to use Rust in .NET projects.

After adding support for statics and many bug fixes related to pointers/slices, my compiler backend targeting .NET can finally build a barely working version of the standard library. It can be loaded into the .NET runtime, allocate memory (e.g. for a Box, Vec or String), push elements to Vec's and String's (currently without relocations). There are also some other parts of the standard library that already work, but I want to stress that the project is still fairly early into development (I started working on it late August), and you should expect most things in std to not work at all. Things working is the exception, not the rule. This newest set of commits allows you to use a small subset of the standard library, within code running inside the .NET runtime. | Here is some Rust code that I wrote to demo the ability to use the Rust std within the .NET runtime:
