How does Rust enforce correctness in zero-copy architectures?
Updated May 24, 2026
Short answer
Rust uses lifetimes and borrowing rules to ensure zero-copy data remains valid.
Deep explanation
Zero-copy systems rely on references instead of ownership transfers. Rust ensures correctness by enforcing lifetime constraints at compile time, preventing dangling references in high-performance I/O systems.
