 #   3. Comparing the output of steps #1 and #2 to compare the Kani-verified portion of the standard library to the overall library,
 #      e.g., what fraction of unsafe functions have Kani contracts.
 # Note that this script assumes that std-analysis.sh and `kani list` have already run, since we expect to invoke this script from `run-kani.sh`.
+# Also note that the results are architecture-dependent: the standard library has functions that are only present for certain architectures, 
+# and https://github.com/model-checking/verify-rust-std/pull/122 has Kani harnesses that only run on x86-64.
 
 # Process the results from Kani's std-analysis.sh script for each crate.
 # TODO For now, we just handle "core", but we should process all crates in the library.
