Ownership is the concept of tracking aliases and mutations to data, useful for both memory safety and system design. The Rust programming language implements ownership via the borrow checker, a static analyzer that extends the core type…
Ownership and borrowing systems, designed to enforce safe memory management without the need for garbage collection, have been brought to the fore by the Rust programming language. Rust also aims to bring some guarantees offered by…
Rust is a systems programming language that guarantees memory safety without the need for a garbage collector by statically tracking ownership and borrowing events. The associated rules are subtle and unique among industry programming…
Advanced type systems that enforce various correctness and safety guarantees--such as linear and ownership types--have a long history in the Programming Languages research community. Despite this history, a human-centered evaluation of…
Rust is a new and promising high-level system programming language. It provides both memory safety and thread safety through its novel mechanisms such as ownership, moves and borrows. Ownership system ensures that at any point there is only…
Dubbed a safer C, Rust is a modern programming language that combines memory safety and low-level control. This interesting combination has made Rust very popular among developers and there is a growing trend of migrating legacy codebases…
Rust claims to advance industrial programming by bridging the gap between low-level systems programming and high-level application programming. At the heart of the argument that this enables programmers to build more reliable and efficient…
Rust represents a major advancement in production programming languages because of its success in bridging the gap between high-level application programming and low-level systems programming. At the heart of its design lies a novel…
Rust is a programming language that uses a concept of ownership to guarantee memory safety without the use of a garbage collector. However, some error messages related to ownership can be difficult to understand and fix, particularly those…
Rust's novel type system has proved an attractive target for verification and program analysis tools, due to the rich guarantees it provides for controlling aliasing and mutability. However, fully understanding, extracting and exploiting…
Statically analyzing information flow, or how data influences other data within a program, is a challenging task in imperative languages. Analyzing pointers and mutations requires access to a program's complete source. However, programs…
The Rust programming language is famous for its strong ownership regime: at each point, each value is either exclusively owned, exclusively borrowed through a mutable reference, or borrowed as read-only through one or more shared…
This paper documents a year-long experiment to "profile" the process of learning a programming language: gathering data to understand what makes a language hard to learn, and using that data to improve the learning process. We added…
Rust relies on its unique ownership mechanism to ensure thread and memory safety. However, numerous potential security vulnerabilities persist in practical applications. New language features in Rust pose new challenges for vulnerability…
Rust is an emergent systems programming language highlighting memory safety by its Ownership and Borrowing System (OBS). The existing formal semantics for Rust only covers limited subsets of the major language features of Rust. Moreover,…
Automated verification of functional correctness of imperative programs with references (a.k.a. pointers) is challenging because of reference aliasing. Ownership types have recently been applied to address this issue, but the existing…
Rust has become a popular system programming language that strikes a balance between memory safety and performance. Rust's type system ensures the safety of low-level memory controls; however, a well-typed Rust program is not guaranteed to…
Rust is a general-purpose programming language that is both type- and memory-safe. Rust does not use a garbage collector, but rather achieves these properties through a sophisticated, but complex, type system. Doing so makes Rust very…
Rust successfully applies ownership types to control memory allocation. This restricts the programs' topologies to the point where doubly-linked lists cannot be programmed in Safe Rust. We sketch how more flexible "local" ownership could be…
Rust is an emerging programing language that aims at preventing memory-safety bugs without sacrificing much efficiency. The claimed property is very attractive to developers, and many projects start using the language. However, can Rust…
