• C-rusted: The Advantages of Rust, in C, without the Disadvantages

  Whenever I see people talk about the portability or compatibility advantages of C, I'm reminded of how "even C isn't compatible with C", because you typically aren't talking about up-to-date GCC or LLVM on these niche platforms... you're talking about some weird or archaic vendor-provided compiler... Possibly with syntax extensions that static analyzers like splint will choke on. (Splint can't even understand near... Source: about 1 year ago

• Announcing Rust 1.67.1

  Huh. I think I actually needed to use the equivalent position for certain splint annotations in my C retro-hobby project. Source: about 1 year ago

• US NGO Consumer Reports also reporting on C and C++ safety for product development.

  I often like to say that Rust's bindings are a way to trick people into writing the compile-time safety annotations that they didn't want to write for things like splint. (Seriously. Look into how much splint is capable of checking with the correct annotations.). Source: over 1 year ago

• “Rust is safe” is not some kind of absolute guarantee of code safety

  Linters like Splint [0] can do that for C. I’m not saying that Rust’s built-in approach isn’t better, but please be careful about what exactly you claim. [0] http://splint.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Glauber's Journey from rust to typescript

  (Sort of like how, for my DOS hobby project, I use splint to require explicit casts between typedefs so I can use the newtype pattern without having to manually reach into wrapper struct fields in places that don't do conversions.). Source: almost 2 years ago
