11am today at #ICSE2025: Rust provides memory safety to low-level code, but in practice Rust libraries link to unsafe C. @icmccorm, @joshsunshine, and I used dynamic analysis to find 46 cases where the C code broke Rust's memory rules, causing undefined behavior.

An interesting paper characterizing the types of undefined behaviour that can occur in Rust libraries when calling foreign functions in languages like C and C++: “A Study of Undefined Behavior Across Foreign Function Boundaries in Rust Libraries”

@FlavioVilante Hi Flavio—sorry for the delay! We're focusing on the different motivations that lead developers to choose unsafe and how this is influenced by their application domains, like embedded. We just published the community survey, please consider participating! cmu.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0k…

We interviewed 19 Rust developers who regularly write or edit unsafe code. Now, we need your help to evaluate what we learned! If you have ever engaged with unsafe Rust, please consider completing our survey! cmu.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0k…

@FlavioVilante Hi Flavio! We've closed recruitment for the interview phase, but soon we'll be following up with a community survey! We hope to publish our results this Fall.

@icmccorm Hi Ian! I use unsafe Rust. Would you intend to publish some conclusions of your study? I noted that the link has expired. Unfortunately I'm willing to extend the surface area of unsafe code in my project aiming to reduce code size. I'm using an 8-bit embedded device.

I'm very excited to present our work on Mu2 at @issta_conf this July! Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on how we could use fuzzing to create strong regression tests. Adding mutation analysis in the loop may be the first step!
Rohan Padhye@moarbugs

So coverage is great, but can greybox fuzzing also benefit from *mutation testing*? 🤔 📢 I'm excited to share our upcoming @issta_conf paper on Mu2: Mutation-guided Mutation-based fuzzing. 📄 Paper: rohan.padhye.org/files/mu2-isst… 💻 Code: github.com/cmu-pasta/mu2 Thread... [1/6]

Hi, I'm sitting in a @SCSatCMU meeting, and the problem of women having no community is being discussed This is a Real Problem The one single thing that we have to help this is a weekly "empowering women" lunch BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NOT FUNDING FOR THIS WTF

I wish it was more common for papers and talks to describe the time it took to complete benchmarks and to reflect on what would make future attempts easier to execute.

At Trader Joes yesterday, someone snuck a pound and a half of cheddar cheese into my cart. Didn’t notice until after I checked out and got home. Be wary for random acts of cheese 🧀
