Unsafe Zig is Safer Than Unsafe Rust

Read Original

This technical article examines a subtle case of undefined behavior in unsafe Rust code involving pointer transmutation and alignment issues. It compares Rust's safety model with Zig's, arguing that Zig's design makes its unsafe blocks inherently safer. The post includes code examples and LLVM IR analysis, making it relevant for systems programmers and those interested in low-level language safety.
