I worked on macro expansion on Rust for that project: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.08127

Here are some commands that help debug Rust macro expansions.

cargo rustc --bin mybin -- -Z trace-macros // build with macro expansion 
rust-gdb -q ./target/debug/sdrob_rust // rust gdb for debugging 
cargo rustc --bin mybin --profile=check -- -Zunpretty=expanded

And a good reference: Rust macro book!  https://danielkeep.github.io/tlborm/book/mbe-syn-macros-in-the-ast.html

At the beginning of my PhD I at first became interested in the broader area of cybersecurity, but my current line of research really got me into the area of systems security. In particular improving the cyber-resilience and availability low-level systems software against memory corruption attacks. This has required me to develop skills, such as in-depth knowledge of the C and Rust runtimes, as well as assembly programming.

The CrowdStrike outage shows that improving software resilience and availability is as important as detecting and mitigating memory-safety vulnerabilities.

LLVM

I have been learning LLVM for a while; I added a function and variable attribute, new compiler options, wrote a hacky LLVM transformation pass, and deleted my hacky stuff in the backend! I kind of enjoyed it, kind of annoyed; in the end, I think it was good to learn!

To install the BSC compiler, follow these steps (example for Ubuntu):

Example for Ubuntu

wget https://github.com/B-Lang-org/bsc/releases/download/2023.07/bsc-2023.07-ubuntu-22.04.tar.gz 
cd ~/cheri/bsc-2023.07-debian-12.1 
export PATH="$PATH:/home/cheri/bsc-2023.07-ubuntu-22.04/bin/

It’s likely that you will also need the Bluespec library. It took me a long time to understand what was missing. You need to install this library from the following repository:
