Eurydice compiles Rust into readable C for high-assurance software

lwn.net 6 min read Editor score 7/10

Eurydice translates Rust into clean C, which can ease use of verification and compliance tools built for C; the excerpt notes its use on post-quantum cryptography routines. It is a useful look at how compiler tooling can bridge languages in constrained environments.

What

- Eurydice is a project that compiles Rust code into C, aimed in part at high-assurance software.

How

- It converts Rust to an intermediate representation, applies passes, and emits C while trying to preserve the source code’s structure.

Why it matters

- C output can help projects use existing verification and compliance tools while adopting Rust code.
