untrusted
Safe, fast, zero-panic, zero-crashing, zero-allocation parsing of untrusted inputs in Rust. (by briansmith)
Project mention: Still no love for JPEG XL: Browser maker love-in snubs next-gen image format | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-04Maybe this is what you are looking for:
https://github.com/google/wuffs
"Wuffs is a memory-safe programming language (and a standard library written in that language) for Wrangling Untrusted File Formats Safely."
A recent practical example of the former: the fish shell re-wrote incrementally from C++ to Rust, and is almost finished https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/discussions/10123
An example of the latter: c2rust, which is a work in progress but is very impressive https://github.com/immunant/c2rust
It currently translates into unsafe Rust, but the strategy is to separate the "compile C to unsafe Rust" steps and the "compile unsafe Rust to safe Rust" steps. As I see it, as it makes the overall task simpler, allows for more user freedom, and makes the latter potentially useful even for non-transpiled code. https://immunant.com/blog/2023/03/lifting/
