Arthur Cohen has posted a detailed introduction to the gccrs project on the Rust Blog, seemingly with the goal of convincing the Rust community about the value of the project.

Likewise, many GCC plugins are used for increasing the safety of critical projects such as the Linux kernel, which has recently gained support for the Rust programming language. This makes gccrs a useful tool for analyzing unsafe Rust code, and more generally Rust code which has to interact with existing C code. We also want gccrs to be a useful tool for rustc itself by helping pan out the Rust specification effort with a unique viewpoint - that of a tool trying to replicate another's functionality, oftentimes through careful experimentation and source reading where the existing documentation did not go into enough detail.

(LWN last looked at gccrs in October).

When it comes to document collaboration, one usually thinks about text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Although many people prefer to use Google Docs for this task, Linux users have some decent alternatives that easily tackle the challenges of collaborative work without sharing data with the tech giant.

However, sometimes document collaboration might involve PDF files as one of the most popular document formats. That’s why it’s a good idea to have a tool that can help you co-edit PDFs with other Linux users in real-time.

PDFs are not easy to edit but ONLYOFFICE Docs has a built-in PDF editor that handles this format with ease allowing users to make edits online and co-author such files as simple text documents.

Flexible arrays — arrays that are declared as the final member of a structure and which have a size determined at run time — have long drawn the attention of developers seeking to harden the kernel against buffer-overflow vulnerabilities. These arrays have reliably been a source of bugs, so anything that can be done to ensure that operations on them stay within bounds is a welcome improvement. While many improvements, including the recent counted-by work, have been made, one of the most difficult cases remains. Now, however, developers who are interested in using recent compiler bounds-checking features are trying to get a handle on struct sockaddr.
