Kani Rust Verifier

Project mention: CVE-2023-4863: Heap buffer overflow in WebP (Chrome) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-12

> those applications need the proof for correctness so that more dangerous code---say, what would need `unsafe` in Rust---can be safely added
There are actually already tools built for this very purpose in Rust (see Kani [1] for instance).
Formal verification has a serious scaling problem, so forming programs in such a way that there are a few performance-critical areas that use unsafe routines seems like the best route. I feel like Rust leans into this paradigm with `unsafe` blocks.

prusti-dev

12 1,330 0.0 Rust

A static verifier for Rust, based on the Viper verification infrastructure.

Project mention: Programming Languages Going Above and Beyond | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-29

You might be interested in the Prusti project, which statically checks for absence of reachable panics, overflows etc. It also allows user-defined specifications such as pre and post-conditions, loop body invariants, termination checking and so on.

creusot

3 765 9.0 Rust

deductive verification of Rust code. (semi) automatically prove your code satisfies your specifications!

Project mention: Conditioonal Compilation across Crates? | /r/rust | 2023-07-04

However, it seems that C is not "notified" whether --cfg thing is set, only the main crate being built is. Regardless of this flag, the dummy macro is always chosen. Am I doing something wrong? It should work; the Creusot project is doing something similar.
