Re:Bugs You'll Probably Only Have in Rust

As you say, none of the existing sanitisers catch Rust-specific problems, which is, I assume, what the parent meant by "for Rust". That said, they will likely catch many of the consequences of such violations, just not pinpoint the cause as precisely.

A Rust-specific sanitizer has been proposed, though. See my other reply (which I was in the middle of writing when this thread popped up, so I didn't see it):
That isn't yet an existing sanitizer. :)
It is definitely an important missing piece to bridge the gap to ASan/TSan, but it's still just a proposal/work in progress, not least because, AIUI, the precise rules it needs to enforce aren't yet entirely clear.
