Ferrocene's Certified core — The Compiler Is ASIL D, So Why Does the Library Stop at ASIL B?
The claim that Ferrocene's Rust compiler is 'ASIL D certified' is true, but the conclusion people usually draw from it is not. Ferrocene qualified the compiler as an ISO 26262 ASIL D / TCL 3 tool, which means 'you may de
