[RFC] Rust support for Linux Kernel

  2,680 92,627 10.0 Rust

  Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  

With that out of the way, this means there are a few options. One option is to simply not use any of those types. This would mean writing alternatives. Not necessarily what you'd *want*, but it is at least possible. The second would be to forbid certain APIs that may reallocate, and only allow ones that return Result. Stuff like https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/48043 can be used, and other stuff could be rejected. This would require some sort of custom analysis, but is fundamentally do-able.

• no-panic

  12 515 4.2 Rust

  Discontinued Attribute macro to require that the compiler prove a function can't ever panic

In my case, it is okay to panic, but https://github.com/dtolnay/no-panic does exist, even if it's not as nice as real support.

From this, it looks like they probably won't end up using liballoc directly (which is kind of what I was expecting as a very casual observer):
