Title: A Synthesis Method of Safe Rust Code Based on Pushdown Colored Petri Nets

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.02399v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Safe Rust guarantees memory safety through strict compile-time constraints: ownership can be transferred, borrowing can temporarily guarantee either shared read-only or exclusive write access, and ownership and borrowing are scoped by lifetime. Automatically synthesizing correct and safe Rust code is challenging, as the generated code must not only satisfy ownership, borrowing, and lifetime constraints, but also meet type and interface requiremen
