HardenedBSD introduces support for building Rust programs in userland |
 |
The HardenedBSD project is experimenting with making it possible to build userland programs written in the Rust language. Rust is a "memory safe" language, avoiding many of the issues which cause security issues in programs written in some older languages, such as C. "We introduced a new BSD makefile, located at share/mk/bsd.rust.mk, that enables building a Rust application during buildworld. As of this writing, we only support building and installing Rust applications. Supporting library crates is planned (we would like to be able to build/install library crates that expose an FFI, like for C/C++ compatibility). Normal library crates build and install just fine. Support for cdylib Rust library crates specifically is what's missing, but is desired and planned. We do not currently support Rust in the kernel. Kernel support requires more work that we deemed out-of-scope for this initial proof-of-concept/work-in-progress patchset." Additional information on this change is presented in the project's May 2025 newsletter.
