As you say, none of the existing sanitisers catch Rust-specific problems, which is, I assume, what the parent meant by "for Rust". That said, they will likely catch many of the consequences of such violations, just not pinpoint the cause as precisely.

- dbaupp 9y agoThat isn't yet an existing sanitizer. :) It is definitely an important missing piece to bridge the gap to ASan/TSan, but it's still just a proposal/work in progress, not least because, AIUI, the precise rules it needs to enforce aren't yet entirely clear.
