Since it seems that Rust programmers are unable to provide a definition for "memory safety", here is what more mature and academically minded people think:

https://blog.adacore.com/memory-safety-in-rust

Notice that in-bounds indexing is included, same as in the definition from this submission that I quoted at you.



Again, no one is arguing that bounds checking isn’t required for memory safety. You are intentionally continuing to argue against a position no one has taken anywhere that Rust somehow always has 0 runtime safety checking and everything happens statically at compile time. Literally RefCell and array bounds. I keep trying to clarify the wording that’s in the article and what it’s intended to mean that you have issue with and instead you keep insisting it means the wrong thing literally no one has argued for.
