Cohen: gccrs: An alternative compiler for Rust

Arthur Cohen has posted <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/11/07/gccrs-an-alternative-compiler-for-rust.html" rel="nofollow">a
detailed introduction to the gccrs project</a> on the Rust Blog, seemingly
with the goal of convincing the Rust community about the value of the
project.


	Likewise, many GCC plugins are used for increasing the safety of
	critical projects such as the Linux kernel, which has recently
	gained support for the Rust programming language. This makes
	gccrs a useful tool for analyzing unsafe Rust code, and
	more generally Rust code which has to interact with existing C
	code. We also want gccrs to be a useful tool for
	rustc itself by helping pan out the Rust specification
	effort with a unique viewpoint - that of a tool trying to replicate
	another's functionality, oftentimes through careful experimentation
	and source reading where the existing documentation did not go into
	enough detail.
