How does Rust implement zero-cost abstractions through LLVM?
Updated May 24, 2026
Short answer
LLVM performs aggressive optimizations like inlining and monomorphization.
Deep explanation
Rust generics are compiled into specialized versions per type, eliminating abstraction overhead. LLVM optimizes control flow, memory access, and vectorization.
