About Rust Memory Management: Ownership, Borrowing, and the Borrow Checker

Copied

How Rust guarantees memory safety without a garbage collector. A student who finishes can explain ownership and move semantics, apply the aliasing-XOR-mutability rule, read and write lifetime annotations, choose the right smart pointer (Box, Rc, Arc, Weak), reach for interior mutability and Send/Sync correctly in concurrent code, and state the invariant contract that governs unsafe blocks.
