The 2025h2 goal period is now over, so I'm closing this issue. Thanks to everyone who contributed! The BorrowSanitizer goal will continue this work in the 2026 period. Authors are welcome to leave a final comment about the goal's outcome.
We have some exciting news: our talk on BorrowSanitizer was accepted at RustConf this year! We’re grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to sharing our results with the broader community this September.
We just posted our April status update. It’s a bit of a technical one. Here’s the TL;DR:
-
BorrowSanitizer now uses a shadow stack to track metadata at runtime - this is a significantly different strategy than other LLVM sanitizers, and it will help us support garbage collection.
-
We are now ready to start sending in PRs for our retag intrinsics. It will take a little time to split our changes up into meaningful, reviewable chunks—you can expect to see these throughout the next week.
The RFC for our LLVM components is taking a little longer than expected, but it was worth taking the extra time to test out compiler changes and make sure that we had the core parts of the instrumentation pass settled. We’ll be drafting the RFC throughout the next few weeks.
