Soteria Rust engineers optimized their symbolic execution tool by delegating the garbage collection of Rust's Tree Borrows aliasing state to OCaml's native GC. This meta-GC approach reduced algorithmic complexity from quadratic to linear time, resulting in up to a 10x performance improvement. The solution highlights an effective cross-language optimization technique for handling complex memory models.
Background
Tree Borrows is Rust's advanced aliasing model for unsafe code, which can be computationally expensive to track during symbolic execution. Soteria Rust is a tool designed to verify Rust programs by exploring all execution paths to catch undefined behavior.
