The compiler team's explanation

An unsupported naked function definition.

Erroneous code example:

#[unsafe(naked)]
pub extern "C" fn f() -> u32 {
    42
}

The naked function must be defined using a single naked_asm! assembly block.

The execution must never fall through past the end of the assembly code, so it must either return or diverge. The asm block can also use att_syntax and raw options, but others options are not allowed.

The asm block must not contain any operands other than const and sym.
