Right, programming-language-based security mechanisms that rely on emitting runtime checks are broken and you need something like index masking or pointer poisoning to fix them. Rust could use those fixes as well.
- iainmerrick 9y agoWhy does Rust need those? Those are things you need when running untrusted code in a sandbox. Is there a scenario where Rust is used that way? There's WASM, but in that case the extra checks need to be applied at the WASM level, not the Rust level.
