Výzvy a perspektívy medzikódovej spolupráce v Ruste a iných jazykoch
Technológia stále napreduje a s ňou aj potreba efektívnejšie pospájať rôzne programovacie jazyky. Jedným z kľúčových faktorov, ktoré ovplyvňujú medzikódovú spoluprácu, je správa pamäti. Rozličné jazyky pristupujú k správe pamäti rozlične, čo môže vytvárať komplikácie pri ich integrácii. Napríklad, Rust používa systém vlastníctva a požičiavania na elimináciu chýb spojených s pamäťou bez potreby tradičného garbage…

Необходимата конвенция за извиквания в Rust
Конвенциите за извиквания са фундаментална част от системното програмиране, определяйки как функциите приемат аргументи и връщат резултати. Различията в конвенциите могат да имат голямо въздействие върху функционалността и производителността на кода. Проблемът се усложнява при използване на езици като Rust, където безопасността и ефективността са от критично значение. Множество разработчици изразяват разочарование от липсата на…

Enhancing Rust’s Calling Convention: A Path to More Efficient Abstraction Handling
The ongoing exploration into Rust’s calling conventions significantly underscores the language’s quest for robustness in managing abstractions without conceding performance. Often juxtaposed with Swift’s more flexible handling of similar challenges, Rust’s current paradigm shows both formidable strengths and evident limitations. Swift’s adoption of a stable application binary interface (ABI) for dynamic linking showcases a motivated…
