Rust, a popular systems-level programming language, has garnered widespread attention due to its features of achieving run-time efficiency and memory safety. With an increasing number of real-world projects adopting Rust, understanding how…

In Rust, unsafe code is the sole source of potential undefined behaviors. To avoid misuse, Rust developers should clarify the safety properties for each unsafe API. However, the community currently lacks a key standard for safety…

Rust is an emerging programming language designed for the development of systems software. To facilitate the reuse of Rust code, crates.io, as a central package registry of the Rust ecosystem, hosts thousands of third-party Rust packages.…

Rust, an emerging programming language with explosive growth, provides a robust type system that enables programmers to write memory-safe and data-race free code. To allow access to a machine's hardware and to support low-level performance…

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…

Rust aims to be a safe programming language applicable to systems programming applications. In particular, its type system has strong guardrails to prevent a variety of issues, such as memory safety bugs and data races. However, these…

Although Rust primarily intends to be a safe programming language that excludes undefined behaviour, it provides its users with the escape hatch of unsafe Rust, allowing them to circumvent some of its strong compile-time checks. This…

Rust is a memory-safe programming language that disallows undefined behavior. Its safety guarantees have been extensively examined by the community through empirical studies, which has led to its remarkable success. However, unsafe code…

The Rust programming language restricts aliasing to provide static safety guarantees. However, in certain situations, developers need to bypass these guarantees by using a set of unsafe features. If they are used incorrectly, these features…

The pinning APIs of Rust language guarantee memory location stability for self-referential and asynchronous constructs, as long as used according to the pinning API contract. Rust ensures violations of such contract are impossible in…

Rust is one of the most promising systems programming languages to fundamentally solve the memory safety issues that have plagued low-level software for over forty years. However, to accommodate the scenarios where Rust's type rules might…

Interior unsafe is an essential design paradigm advocated by the Rust community in system software development. However, there is little official guidance or few best practices regarding how to encapsulate unsafe code and achieve interior…

Context: Poor usability of cryptographic APIs is a severe source of vulnerabilities. Aim: We wanted to find out what kind of cryptographic libraries are present in Rust and how usable they are. Method: We explored Rust's cryptographic…

The Rust programming language is increasingly being considered for safety-critical system development. However, established safety standards such as ISO 26262 require the use of coding guidelines that do not yet exist for Rust. This paper…

Rust is a promising programming language that focuses on concurrency, usability, and security. It is used in production code by major industry players and got recommended by government bodies. Rust provides strong security guarantees…

Rust is a popular memory-safe systems programming language. In order to interact with hardware or call into non-Rust libraries, Rust provides \emph{unsafe} language features that shift responsibility for ensuring memory safety to the…

Rust is gaining popularity for its well-known memory safety guarantees and high performance, distinguishing it from C/C++ and JVM-based languages. Its compiler, rustc, enforces these guarantees through specialized mechanisms such as trait…

Embedded software is used in safety-critical systems such as medical devices and autonomous vehicles, where software defects, including security vulnerabilities, have severe consequences. Most embedded codebases are developed in unsafe…

Unsafe Rust code is necessary for interoperability with C/C++ libraries and implementing low-level data structures, but it can cause memory safety violations in otherwise memory-safe Rust programs. Sanitizers can catch such memory errors at…

Rust is a young programming language gaining increased attention from software developers since it was introduced to the world by Mozilla in 2010. In this study, we attempt to answer several research questions. Does Rust deserve such…
