add llvm writable attribute conditionally This PR tries to address https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/584#issue-3440604811. It is part of a bachelor thesis supervised by @JoJoDeveloping and @RalfJung, for more information, see: [Project_Description.pdf](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/26537277/Project_Description.pdf). If the new `-Zllvm-writable` flag is set, the [llvm writable attribute](https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#writable) is inserted for all mutable borrows. This can be conditionally turned off on a per-function basis using the `#[rustc_no_writable]` attribute. The new Undefined Behaviour introduced by this can detected by Miri, which is implemented here: https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/pull/4947. Two library functions already received the `#[rustc_no_writable]` attribute, as they are known to cause problems under the Tree Borrows aliasing model with implicit writes enabled.
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
