OWNERSHIP APPROACH IN MEMORY MANAGEMENT AND ITS USE IN RUST PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
Abstract
This paper describes main principles and ideas of ownership approach in memory management and how they are implemented in Rust programming language, in order to solve memory problems. It has been analyzed how memory guarantees it provides affect its usability and capabilities. The unsafe part of programming language and its possibilities were also analyzed, as well as how programmers use them.
