RustViz: Generates Visualizations of Rust Lifetime and Borrowing Mechanism
It's nice, but I suspect more an educational tool than a working programmer's tool. Rustc has good lifetime diagnostics, so it's not that huge a problem.<p>What I'd like to see is something that does static analysis for reference-counted items. To access a reference-counted item, you often have to call .borrow(), which checks to see if someone else already has it borrowed. This panics on a conflict. That's a good problem for static analysis - is the .borrow() always safe, always going to fail, or unknown? Much of the time, it's always safe and could be optimized out.
