Memory Thinking for Rust: Slides with Descriptions and Source Code Illustrations, Second Edition

By Dmitry Vostokov, Software Diagnostics Services, Dublin School of Security

Memory Thinking for Rust reviews memory-related topics from the perspective of software structure and behavior analysis and teaches Rust language aspects in parallel while demonstrating relevant code internals on Windows (x64) and Linux (x64 and ARM64) platforms:

Relevant language constructsMemory layout of structs and enumsReferences, ownership, borrowing, and lifecycleUnsafe pointersLocal, static, and dynamic memoryFunctions, closuresSmart pointersObject-oriented and functional featuresWindows and Linux specifics... and much more

The new book edition updates and extends the existing topics, adding some missing from the first edition. The updated book also has a new format similar to the second edition of Memory Thinking books for C and C++.

The book contains slides, brief notes highlighting particular points, and related source code with execution output. The following audiences may benefit from the book:

Rust developers who want to deepen their knowledgeNon-C and C++ developers (for example, Java, Scala, Python) who want to learn more about pointer and reference internalsC and C++ developers who want to port their memory thinking to Rust quickly
