Rust could avoid it through the Box abstraction that afaik assumes not having a nullptr

  It would not. Rust needs ASAN/UBSAN/TSAN/MSAN sanitizers for a reason.

    Can you point me to any significant primarily rust codebase that runs sanitizers? I've never heard of that. Unless you mean miri.
    • menaerus 4y ago
      Not miri. I mean the actual ASAN, UBSAN, TSAN, MSAN and LSAN sanitizers that are also commonly used in C and C++ codebases. Descendant is the same: LLVM [1] > Can you point me to any significant primarily rust codebase that runs sanitizers? I've never heard of that Not sure what do you mean by that, surely there are. At least the ones who are serious about the development. Sanitizers are part of official documentation in Rust [2].

        No idea what is your point. The compiler is happy to compile without sanitizers enabled. Why should it require to implement a null check when deallocating when it doesn't when dereferencing?
