How does Rust prevent stack corruption in recursive systems?
Updated May 24, 2026
Short answer
Rust relies on OS stack limits and compile-time safety to prevent uncontrolled recursion.
Deep explanation
Rust does not inherently prevent stack overflow; instead, it relies on system stack limits. Recursive functions must be carefully designed or replaced with iteration to avoid overflow risks in production systems.
