Lessons Learned So Far From Verifying the Rust Standard Library (work-in-progress)
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 additional freedom has some advantages, including potentially more efficient code, which is one of the main reasons why unsafe code is used extensively throughout Rust's standard library. However, because unsafe code also re-opens the door to undefined behaviour, A…
