Getting Started

This guide will help you get started with SnapCrab for faster Rust development workflows.

Installation

SnapCrab is currently in early development. To build from source:

git clone <repository-url>
cd snapcrab
cargo build --release

Usage

SnapCrab is designed to execute small Rust programs and unit tests without compilation overhead.

Running the Main Function

Execute the main function of a Rust source file:

snapcrab <file.rs>

Running a Specific Function

Execute a specific function by name (requires fully qualified name):

snapcrab --start-fn <function_name> <file.rs>

Limitations

Current limitations in the early development phase:

• Limited subset of Rust syntax supported
• Small binary programs only / no cargo support yet
• Basic language constructs
• Linux x86-64 target only

Future expansion will include external dependencies and broader Rust feature support.
