New technique translates C interpreters to safe Rust code

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel technique called Reboot to automatically translate C language interpreters into safe Rust code. This method addresses the inherent challenges in translating between languages with different typing and memory management systems. Reboot utilizes a multi-agent architecture combined with a feature reduction approach, which breaks down the translation process into manageable, testable milestones. This strategy has successfully translated six C interpreters, ranging from 6,000 to 23,000 lines of code, into safe Rust with minimal human intervention, achieving high test suite pass rates and eliminating memory vulnerabilities.

    Mostly Automatic Translation of Language Interpreters from C to Safe Rust

    Translating C programs to safe Rust is challenging owing to significant differences in typing constraints, ownership, and borrowing rules. Interpreter programs are particularly important targets for such translation, as they often handle untrusted inputs and suffer from memory-re…
