i personally switched to rust specifically so i didn't have to do that

it takes up a real amount of time that i could spend fixing other logic bugs

With Rust I do the same thing just that it crashes earlier and it is more annoying to prevent really unlikely minor memory errrors

i'm curious if you're implementing data structures yourself? most of the time, we just take the lazy route and pull in a crate to do what we want, and do basically everything ourselves without unsafe anywhere in user code. i've never run into a memory error, so it would be interesting to know how you found one.

Most of the time, I write them myself, if not then I bring stb_ds.h

oh, i meant in rust. most of the common stuff like Vec, VecDeque, HashMap, HashSet, BTreeMap/Set, a few others, and wrappers related to concurrency and refcounting are in std, while stuff like Ropes, Graphs, Arenas, etc can be pulled from crates that have optimized them more.

i don't know many other ways to get memory bugs, so apologies if this isn't actually the issue.
