Re:An RFC that adds support for Rust to the Linux kernel by roca on Thursday April 22, 2021 @05:30AM (#26900636)
The "Rust Book" says signed integer overflow to be two's complement in release builds and panic in debug builds: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch03-02-data-types.html

That's clear enough for programmers to rely on. It is nonsense to argue that this is equivalent to C's "the compiler may do anything it wants" just because the "Rust Book" is not called the "Rust Standard" or not "formal" enough.
