+## **Tasks**
+
+* xx
+
+## **Meeting Minutes**
+
+* Have mapping between Cert C to Rust and Misra C to Rust in FY26  
+* MEM34 partially applicable to Rust, only in unsafe  
+  * We don’t do a lot manual allocations in Rust  
+  * There is case that user creates bindings to libc memory API  
+  * Do we need a specific rule for FFI?  
+  * List all the possibilities for Rust programmer to use free() and dealloc() in the mapped rule  
+* CON35 applicable but probably change the name to not mention “by the predefined order” but just “avoid deadlock”. Rust has better API to avoid deadlock  
+  * Parking\_lot has the experimental mechanism to prevent deadlock  
+  * [https://fuchsia-docs.firebaseapp.com/rust/lock\_order/index.html](https://fuchsia-docs.firebaseapp.com/rust/lock_order/index.html)  
+  * [https://crates.io/crates/lock\_ordering](https://crates.io/crates/lock_ordering)  
+* EXP36 cast itself should be safe? Only the access can cause undefined behavior.   
+  * But it doesn’t make sense to just cast the pointer without using the casted pointer. So better to just say do not cast the pointers.  
+  * What “strictly aligned” mean here?  
+    * Like cast a pointer to byte to pointer to a data structure, then the pointer can point into unaligned location in the data structure  
+* MEM35-C  
+  * We probably can reduce the work we do to have a single rule to say “do not break safety contracts” to cover all possible cases and refine later to specific cases.  
+  * It is good to explicitly document “do not break safety contracts” even it is obvious.  
+* Copy the discussion above into issue \#431
