Summary on Learning Rust Lang

Where to learn

The Rust Programming Language

About Pointers

1. Box<T>
2. Rc<T> is enhanced with multiple ownership by a “strong counter” to count the number of pointers to the same data(only “strong” pointers)
3. RefCell<T> is to allow “internal mutability” through borrow rules check in runtime instead of compile time.
4. Weak<T> is to avoid memory leak caused by “reference cycle”

Things that I wanna learn more about pointers in Rust

1. The implementation details of borrow rules check in runtime.
2. How to convert C pointers to Rust pointers? As part of the C2Rust project.
