Repository Details

Verification working group

The Rust Verification working group

This working group is intended to provide a forum for all things formal methods and verification for Rust. We anticipate significant overlap in requirements for tools and want to provide a central repository to exchange ideas and share progress.

For an overview of our current status, visit our (WIP) page.

Why Rust?

Most of the benefits of performing verification on Rust programs are directly derived from the guarantees of safe Rust. Unsafe code is significantly more complex, but it may be possible to define contracts that must be upheld at the unsafe boundary. For more information on the differences between safe and unsafe Rust, see the Rustonomicon.

  • No need to reason extensively about the memory model
  • Data races are eliminated
  • A substantial subset can be transformed into pure functions

Goals

  • Develop formal foundations for the Rust language (RustBelt).
  • Extract required information from the compiler
  • Design methods to formally verify programs written in Rust
  • Investigate ways to combine program verification with broader testing frameworks
