Memory Safety in the Rust Programming Language

In this lesson, we delve into the critical concept of memory safety in the Rust programming language. Students will explore the foundational principles of ownership and borrowing, which are core to Rust's approach in preventing common memory-related issues such as data races and memory leaks. We will analyze how ownership rules enforce safe memory management and how borrowing allows for flexible code without sacrificing safety.

Additionally, we'll discuss the implications of memory leaks in Rust applications and examine various static analysis tools that assist in identifying potential memory issues before they become problematic. By the end of the lesson, learners will have a comprehensive understanding of memory safety in Rust, equipping them with the knowledge to write robust and efficient code while avoiding the pitfalls of memory mismanagement
