About:
flip-link is a custom linker wrapper for embedded Rust development that adds a guard region to the stack. This zero-cost modification effectively catches stack overflows at the moment they occur, preventing memory corruption and making debugging easier. It integrates seamlessly with cargo build processes without requiring changes to your application code.
Key Features:
  • Zero-cost stack overflow protection
  • Seamless cargo integration
  • No application code changes required
  • Immediate crash detection on overflow
Use Cases:
  • Embedded Rust development on resource-constrained devices
  • Debugging stack overflow issues in bare-metal applications
  • Safety-critical firmware development
Alternatives:
  • none – flip-link is unique in providing zero-cost stack overflow protection at the linker level for embedded Rust
