The simpler alternative to GCC-RS

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • rustc_codegen_gcc

    libgccjit AOT codegen for rustc (by antoyo)

    I'm putting my money where my mouth is and will be supporting rustc_codegen_gcc on Github Sponsors starting in June.

  • gccrs

    GCC Front-End for Rust

    So, in this analogy, the people working the tower put up a sign explaining why they're working on that project at all.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • mrustc

    Alternative rust compiler (re-implementation)

    The trusting trust issue is already addressed by mrustc.

  • unsafe-code-guidelines

    Forum for discussion about what unsafe code can and can't do

    I believe Unsafe Code Guidelines, miri and Ferrocene need to be completed first. Only after all of that is done, creating an alternative implementation to verify these specs will become actually useful.

  • miri

    An interpreter for Rust's mid-level intermediate representation

    I believe Unsafe Code Guidelines, miri and Ferrocene need to be completed first. Only after all of that is done, creating an alternative implementation to verify these specs will become actually useful.

  • sanitizers

    AddressSanitizer, ThreadSanitizer, MemorySanitizer

    Google created LLVM ThinLTO as well as LLVM sanitizers. Both of those are used in clang and rustc.

  • chalk

    An implementation and definition of the Rust trait system using a PROLOG-like logic solver (by rust-lang)

    Chalk which uses a Prolog-ish system to implement the trait system.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • polonius

    Defines the Rust borrow checker.

    Polonius which uses Datalog to implement borrow-checking.
