DARPA’s TRACTOR Initiative: Transforming Legacy C Code to Rust
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has launched an ambitious initiative known as TRACTOR, aimed at converting legacy C software into memory-safe Rust code using advanced AI techniques. This initiative addresses long-standing memory safety issues that have plagued C and C++ programming for over two decades. The consensus in the programming community is that traditional bug-finding tools are inadequate for tackling these critical vulnerabilities. The Need for Memory Safety Memory safety bugs, such as buffer overflows, are responsible...
