safe-to-deploy (implies safe-to-run)

This crate will not introduce a serious security vulnerability to production software exposed to untrusted input. More…

safe-to-run

This crate can be compiled, run, and tested on a local workstation or in controlled automation without surprising consequences. More…

does-not-implement-crypto (implies crypto-safe)

Inspection reveals that the crate in question does not attempt to implement any cryptographic algorithms on its own.

Note that certification of this does not require an expert on all forms of cryptography: it's expected for crates we import to be "good enough" citizens, so they'll at least be forthcoming if they try to implement something cryptographic. When in doubt, please ask an expert.

crypto-safe
Implied by other criteria

All crypto algorithms in this crate have been reviewed by a relevant expert.

Note: If a crate does not implement crypto, use does-not-implement-crypto, which implies crypto-safe, but does not require expert review in order to audit for.

The crate uses a lot of unsafe, although the conditions for safety seem to have been taken in consideration carefully. The use of unsafe consists of: - Handling len/capacity where bounds are checked manually. This looks correct. - Handling unitialized memory for indices >= len. I don't know enough about it to judge correctness here - Handling utf8 conversions/assumptions. For example, the conversion from char to bytes. Correctness is checked for every byte here, so this is likely correct, too.

Stack/value variable length arrays without heap fallback.

Pros:

  • Maybe sound?
  • Better than what you'll write.

Cons:

  • History of unsoundness (0.4.10 and earlier)
  • Disturbing amounts of unsafe

This version switched some slices possibly containing uninit (UB!) to use pointers instead. This makes encode_utf8 unsafe, sadly.

Lib.rs has been able to verify that all files in the crate's tarball are in the crate's repository with a git tag matching the version. Please note that this check is still in beta, and absence of this confirmation does not mean that the files don't match.

Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories, so there is a possibility that published crates have a misleading repository URL, or contain different code from the code in the repository.

To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open arrayvec. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of arrayvec v0.7.4 or view the source online.
