rustCarbon and C++ Interoperability: Memory Safety Boundaries for Legacy Pointers
Carbon aims to provide a bidirectional bridge with C++ while maintaining a memory safety model through its default 'safe' dialect. This model restricts pointer arithmetic and unchecked memory access to prevent common vulnerabilities found in manual memory management. When integrating Carbon with legacy C++ code, the language must reconcile its strict type sy
Undefined Behavior during pointer arithmetic on stack-allocated arrays
In C (ISO/IEC 9899), pointer arithmetic is permitted within the bounds of an array, including one element past the end. However, dereferencing a pointer that has moved beyond this boundary triggers Undefined Behavior (UB). A specific concern arises when compiler optimizations (such as -O2 or -O3 ) are applied. Because the compiler assumes UB never occurs, it
Carbon pointer safety rules when passing objects across the C++ interop boundary
Context I am evaluating Carbon (the experimental C++ successor language) for a gradual migration of an existing C++ codebase. The design goal under review is how Carbon's memory-safety model interacts with its bidirectional C++ interoperability, specifically when ownership of an object crosses the language boundary. Uncertainty Carbon aims to reduce classic
Rust 1.75 Async Fn in Traits vs async-trait Crate
Transitioning to Native Async Traits The stabilization of async fn in traits (AFIT) in Rust 1.75 allows developers to define asynchronous methods directly within traits without relying on the #[async_trait] macro. This change moves the implementation from a boxing-based approach to a compiler-generated state machine. While native support reduces dependency o
