safety-dance VS zune-jpeg

The most "virtuous"/desirable statement in this topic is probably the "100% safe code now - while being faster than the C version!" on the rust-secure-code/safety-dance entry for miniz_oxide.

According to the rust-secure-code/safety-dance trophy case, their audit left miniz_oxide 100% safe and faster than the C version.

Efforts that don't try to pick winners, but just to help packages that already exist, like Rust Safety Dance and developing tools like Miri. (And that dependency-improving sprint, the name of which eludes me, but which was mentioned in TWIR a while ago.)

I'm similarly iffy on using a parser for something as web-exposed as e-mail which uses unsafe for a performance boost without a thumbs-up from someone like /u/Shnatsel and the Safety Dance.

Since this all happened, the safety-dance project has come into existence, which aims to channel the mob into doing useful things, not just piling onto someone who's got different views on what they want from Rust.

https://github.com/rust-secure-code/safety-dance is always looking for contributors.

Congrats, but you dropped this.

Alternatively, you can round up the array length to the nearest power of 2 and use cheap bitmasking instead of branching bounds checks. If it goes wrong, it will access the wrong element but will not result in any code execution vulnerabilities. Here's an example of this in zune-jpeg.

gif, png, zune-jpeg are on par with their C counterparts in terms of performance

Based on some experience writing a jpeg decoder library, I'd like to give my two cents worth of information
