Rust-for-Linux: The Success, Dissatisfaction, and Compromise

  In the article, it says "The Rust *struct* has a smaller size compared with the C due to the usage of smart pointers instead of allocating item memory inside the *struct*. We use *pahole* to identify that Rust *struct*s use fewer cache lines than their C counterpart." As far as I know, you can also use pointers (not smart ones, that's a C++ thing) inside structs in C, right? Like this: struct student { char *name; int age; char *program; char *subjects[5]; };
