CHAPTER

Enhancing Memory Safety in C++ through Rust's Memory Safety Model

The chapter delves into the implementation of Rust's memory safety model in C++, focusing on lifetime safety to prevent bugs like use after free and dangling pointers. It discusses transitioning from unsafe primitives to safe ones, exploring concepts like unique pointers, move semantics, and proper initialization for memory safety. The conversation also highlights challenges with null pointer safety, operator usage, and the importance of marking functions as safe for maintaining safety in C++ code bases.
