Feature

[ ] New architecture module
[ ] Support for processor extension
[ ] Add more instruction details (elaborated below)
[ ] Binding support for: language
[x] Other (elaborated below)

Describe the feature you'd like

The DIET build of Capstone is untested and not done for the auto-sync architectures yet. But besides that, it is also not well defined, how it behaves (see https://github.com/capstone-engine/capstone/issues/1883)

We should define, how exactly the DIET mode works and very much consider to build it with a smaller libc like diet-libc

TODO

[ ] https://github.com/capstone-engine/capstone/issues/2368
[ ] Define what DIET builds provide and what not.
[ ] Wrap more code in DIET guards for auto-sync builds.
