Rust โ€” Advanced

Review shared state, async boundaries, unsafe obligations, and measured API design.

6 lessons ยท No account required

What you will learn

  • Explain ownership and failure contracts for this levelโ€™s abstractions.
  • Solve worked exercises and verify complete examples independently.

  1. Smart pointers and interior mutability

    Choose exclusive, shared, and dynamically checked access models explicitly, and keep cleanup and reference cycles separate from memory-safety claims.

    Start learning

  2. Threads, Send, Sync, and shared state

    Transfer ownership between threads, protect complete state transitions, and explain exactly what Arc and synchronization traits do and do not guarantee.

    Start learning

  3. Async futures and Pin

    Separate a future from its executor, reason about suspension and cancellation, and understand pinning without implementing unsafe self-referential machinery.

    Start learning

  4. Unsafe invariants and FFI boundaries

    Explain the obligations that unsafe code transfers to the programmer, prefer safe abstractions, and review foreign calls as explicit ownership and ABI contracts.

    Start learning

  5. Profiling, allocation, and data layout

    Measure equivalent behavior under stated build conditions, then reduce unnecessary allocation or copying without weakening lifetime and domain contracts.

    Start learning

  6. API design and a reporting capstone

    Integrate ownership, errors, modules, and measurement into a small report API whose validation and compatibility promises are visible to consumers.
