Not really sure what you mean? You have to use `unsafe` in Rust to access arbitrary mutable pointers. How would you do DMA, or write a device driver, without `* mut T`


I’m referring to use of process (sometimes with a partial assist from qualified tools, of which Rust is NOT one) for safety assurance, not the language. As is done in safety and security critical embedded contexts. eg DO-178, Common Criteria, etc.
