This is an implementation of Adler-32 checksum. It has no unsafe, and the
code is quite simple. The only complicated part is the algorithm itself, but
there is a big comment explaining what's going on, and the structure of the
code matches the explanation. I can't vouch the implementation is bug-free,
but I'm sure it's sound and isn't malicious.

Thoroughness is "high" because I read the whole crate quite attentively, but
understanding is still "medium" since I didn't quite follow the math that
enables vectorization in this crate.

No unsafe code. The rest looks benign: the crate emits little bits of code
and runs them through the compiler to detect features. The test suite is
minimal but looks complete.

There's only one meaningful change since 1.3.1: non-snake-case names are
allowed in generated structs. My previous review stands.

bitflags is a set of macros. They all look clean and correct. I flipped
through the tests too, and although I didn't pay as much attention, they too
look good — there are certainly more of them than of macros themselves, so
I'm quite confident about them. The docs are good too.

I compared this to crypto/memneq.c from Linux 5.7-rc5; the algorithm is
indeed the same, and I understand how it works. There are comments for all
the unobvious bits, too. I am not formally trained in cryptography, but
I posses basic knowledge and I believe this code to be secure for any
application.

I evaluated this before using in my own project. I only really know Linux,
but WASI and Windows parts made sense to me as well. I can't vouch for
memory safety of WinAPI calls, so I capped the rating at "positive" rather
than giving it the "strong" that it probably deserves.

This new version adds trivial methods to get the seed out of an existing
generator. I don't see any problem with this feature.

My recommendation stands: use this as a non-cryptographic PRNG if you don't
already depend on rand and want to keep your dependencies to the minimum.

Compared to 1.5.0, this release only adds #[derive(PartialEq, Eq)] for the
Rng type. It's now possible to check if the generator is in a particular
state, but this was already possible through the Debug trait. Considering
the crate is not for cryptographic use, this seems totally fine to me.

Generates random numbers using Wyrand algorithm (which is not
cryptographically secure, but ostensibly passes some popular tests — I didn't
verify that).

No unsafe, no dependencies other than std (except on WASM, where it pulls
in instant crate to get initial entropy).

By default, the generator is initialized from a hash of
std::time::Instant::now() and process ID. Good enough for a non-cryptographic
PRNG.

Interesting detail: if the thread-local storage has already been
de-initialized by we try to use it, the generator is initialized by a fixed
seed 0x4d595df4d0f33173. This constant is an initial state for PCG-XSH-RR,
which is an algorithm that previous versions of the crate used.

I verified that the algorithms match the documents they reference:

I also verified that the algorithms that generate floating-point numbers
indeed do what they're supposed to do: set sign to 0 (i.e. positive),
exponent to 127 (i.e. zero), then fill the fraction with random bits, and
subtracting 1.0 from the result to get [0; 1).

Also worth mentioning that the crate doesn't guarantee a specific algorithm,
so you shouldn't depend on a specific seed to always produce the same
results.

Recommended for non-cryptographic purposes that do not require
reproducibility.

FNV is an extremely simple hashing algorithm. This crate implements a variant
called FNV-1a.

It uses no unsafe, and just basic arithmetic. Half the code is actually
tests. I'm convinced that there are no bugs here, and definitely no malicious
code.

The crate encodes and decodes parameters of web forms.

I verified that the decoding algorithm matches the spec. The encoding is more
involved, so I didn't verify that. Notably, the crate has no tests, so I only
trust to it be correct because it's written by the Servo team.

There are two uses of unsafe, for performance (avoiding UTF-8 checks). Both
have comments explaining why they're okay, and they sound convincing enough.

This is a self-review, because this release is made by me and contains only
the changes that I made.

The crate provides safe wrappers over an FFI for GNU gettext (which is
packaged separately, as a gettext-sys crate). There are no known issues with
those wrappers.

This release fixes an incorrect default for XDG_DATA_DIRS. There are no
security implications to this change, as far as I can see.

This is basically a self-review, since it's me who fixed the problems
I highlighted in my previous review.

This crate contains safe FFI bindings for gettext.

The memory issues I mentioned in the previous review are fixed, and panics
documented. There are no unwraps, and all errors are propagated via
Results.

The crate still depends on gettext returning UTF-8, but this is now
prominently documented.

Compared to 0.5.0, the API is more fleshed out and polished (even if I say so
myself).

The crate provides safe wrappers for FFI bindings from gettext-sys crate.
The bindings are suspicious as they might use already-deallocated memory[1],
and they don't document panic conditions[2].

  1. https://github.com/Koka/gettext-rs/issues/34
  2. https://github.com/Koka/gettext-rs/issues/33

Furthermore, the library seems to assume that the locale charset is UTF-8[3],
which if false can lead to garbled translations as non-UTF-8 bytes would be
replaced by U+FFFD.

  1. https://github.com/Koka/gettext-rs/issues/35

The UTF-8 and documentation issues would cap the rating at "positive", but
the memory issue puts this crate into "negative" territory.

This crate bundles an older version of GNU gettext and provides unsafe
FFI bindings.

I checked, and bindings indeed correspond to the contents of the C headers
libintl.h and locale.h.

The only complex part of this crate is a build script, but it mostly deals
with platform differences. There are a few FIXMEs, but they're all benign.

The bundled library is licensed under LGPL, which puts some restrictions on
how it can be used. The crate's documentation currently doesn't make this
clear though: https://github.com/Koka/gettext-rs/issues/31

Giving a strong rating because code-wise, this is a solid crate, and
licensing issues don't change that.

Tries hard not to convert OsStrings into String unless absolutely
necessary. I didn't review the Windows/UTF-16 bits, but everything else looks

This is just the first release, so some bits are inconsistent. I reported them:

nto, which is QNX/Neutrino. I glanced through them, they seem to have the
right shape. The rest of the changes are the usual: new constants and new
function declarations. The only interesting bit there is a new
KERNEL_VERSION function which emulates the eponymous macro; it returns the
kernel version, limiting the patch version to 255 (for compatibility).

yanked from crates.io for unknown reason.

Compared to 0.2.129, this version only adds a couple functions for GNU/Linux,
and fixes a type of a constant for Unix newlib. Nothing major at all.

I'm rolling two crate releases into a single review because 0.2.128 was
yanked: https://github.com/rust-lang/libc/issues/2866

Compared to 0.2.127, this release just adds some new sructs, consts, and fn
prototypes. It also shuffles around the code responsible for linking on
Android, and adds a workaround for *pintf functions on Windows when linking
with MSVC. All looks okay to me.

Compared to 0.2.126, this release is just bookkeeping. A bunch of new
constants and functions were added, some fixes were applied to existing ones,
and some code was reformatted.

Compared to 0.2.125, this is just usual churn. I found a place where a struct
field is used in PartialEq but not Hash; I asked the author to check if
that's correct: https://github.com/rust-lang/libc/pull/2748/files#r880853330

The major change in this release is partial support for __int128 (and similar
types) for aarch64 platforms. As usual with libc, the actual code is
dead-simple; the actual work--verifying that rustc's representation matches
platform's--was done elsewhere. Looks okay to me.

And then there's the usual churn of function declarations and new constants.

(https://github.com/rust-lang/libc/commit/ec13c82bc93070dfe1d81a359174e0495edfe487).

There's also a hint at a new CI machinery that'll ensure the crate doesn't
break semver.

Overall this looks fine to me. As usual, I rely on the project's CI to check
that the bindings match C, hence "thoroughness" is low.

Delta from 0.2.92 consists mostly of two things: formatting changes, and
modularisation of some architecture-specific constants for Linux.

This crate contains unsafe bindings to platform-specific C functions. The
project has an expansive CI pipeline that runs ctest on Linux, macOS,
FreeBSD, and Windows. Where possible, the testing is done on multiple
architectures with different libc implementations.

Most of the crate is marked unsafe, but that's just the nature of the beast.

I only looked at one module, unix, so thoroughness is capped at "low".
However, the crate comes from the same people who build Rust itself, so this
doesn't affect the rating.

Given it's just a list of declarations, which are then automatically checked,
I'm fairly confident that this code does what it's supposed to do.

Another tiny-yet-useful crate. Lets the users request which C++ stdlib they'd
like to link to. If nobody cares, or if there are conflicting choices, it
punts the choice to the "cc" crate which picks the platform default.

I don't see anything suspicious here, and don't see a way to trick this crate
into doing something bad, thus a strong rating.

This is a tiny wrapper over a raw pointer allocated by malloc; this crate
provides a slice-like interface and ensures that the pointer is free()d when
the wrapper is dropped.

Contains no unsafe and no dependencies other than std, which is good. The
code is farly small, about 1KLOC.

Surprisingly complicated for such a small codebase: there are a couple helper
functions which are used throughout, and affect the state. I gave up trying
to model everything in my head, but what I did understand all looked okay.

This is an implementation of an HC-128 RNG.

The crate has no unsafe, and doesn't seem to do anything obviously fishy.
I didn't compare the algorithm to the relevant paper though, so I don't vouch
this is a faithful implementation.

This implements a xorshift RNG with 128 bits of state.

The implementation uses no unsafe, and does not even require std. The code is
straightforward, and matches the code from the paper that describes the RNG
("Xorshift RNGs" by George Marsaglia).

Seeding from an existing RNG can theoretically hang if the seeding RNG keeps
returning zeroes. I filed https://github.com/rust-random/rngs/issues/24 about
this and capped the rating at "positive".

I'm not a Windows programmer; I merely took a peek to see if the crate is
blatantly malicious, and it looks like it isn't.

The code is well-commented. Uses unsafe sparingly, just to call WinAPI — no
high-performance tricks. Some comments refer to alignment issues, which shows
the amount of thought that went into the code; nice.

Trivial (but useful!) crate that creates a temporary directory which can be
seen by any crate that depends on this one.

There are just 6 lines of actual code here. They read OUT_DIR from
environment, and create/remove some directories.

A rogue crate could include this one and use it to stomp on some other
crate's scratch space. It's hard for me to see this as a vulnerability, since
the user is supposed to trust the code they're running during the build.

This crate implements "section testing" similar to Catch2 framework for C++.

The code is pure Rust, there is no dependencies, and there are no "unsafe".
As such, there are no worries about unsoundness.

staring at it, I still can't claim I grok how this code actually achieves
what it achieves. However, I am confident that this code is not malicious,

This crate provides three pieces of plumbing that makes it easier to chain
functions:

  1. "taps", which pass the borrowed value into a function and then return it
    (think logging);
  2. "pipes", which are basically a universal map();
  3. "conv", which is like into() but lets you specify the target type, so
    you can put it in the middle of a call-chain.

A lot of pretty boring code. It looks all right to me, but I got too lazy to
check why functions usually require sized types; that's why I cap my
"thoroughness" and "understanding" at "medium", and rating at "positive".

Runs rustc --verbose --version and parses the result. The binary to run can
be overridden via an environment variable RUSTC, which I do not consider as
a security risk since it's done at build time.

There is no unsafe, and the code itself is mostly string mangling, so

The crate implements a seemingly trivial thing: waiting for a child process
to finish, with a timeout.

On Windows, this boils down to a single WinAPI call. I don't know much about
Windows, but the code looks okay to me. There is a minor issue of timeouts
being capped at ≈49 days, which I reported:
https://github.com/alexcrichton/wait-timeout/issues/23

On Unix, the algorithm is much more involved. I understand it, and I believe
it to be correct.

The crate calls into libc and WinAPI, so there are a bit of unsafe in here.
But it all looks all right to me.

This crate vendors various WinAPI libraries for i686. All it does is add
a library search path to Cargo, pointing at a directory full of .a files

I didn't actually verify where the libraries come from, and if they match
