Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the shown Cargo.toml settings and inspect the Encoder and Decoder implementations that use Vec. Determine whether the crate can build without std and alloc, then define the required no_std/no_alloc behavior and verify it with a microcontroller-style build or focused tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I try this awesome library to create firmware for microcontrollers.
Because it supports no_std I expected it works but seems currently Encoder and Decoder implementations uses Vec type from std/alloc. I got the following errors:

error[E0412]: cannot find type `Vec` in this scope

I added dependency as follows:

[dependencies.bitcode]
version = "0.6"
default-features = false
features = ["derive"]

Is it possible to use this crate without std and alloc at all?
