The Rust Programming Handbook
By :
These principles govern memory management in Rust programs, guaranteeing that resources are utilized safely and efficiently without the need for a garbage collector. Whether you come from a background in languages with manual memory management, such as C or C++, or from languages that use garbage collection, such as Java or Python, these concepts may initially seem unfamiliar. However, grasping these ideas will unlock your full Rust developer potential.
This chapter aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of Rust’s unique ownership system. We will explore the mechanics of borrowing and references; no worries, there will be practical examples that illustrate how these concepts work together to ensure safe memory management.
By the end of this chapter, you will have a solid foundation in these critical Rust features, enabling you to write more efficient and safe code as you continue your Rust journey.
Practical examples will demonstrate how these concepts...
