Paperback. C++ developers already know the hard parts. Now write code the compiler proves safe.Decades of systems programming have made one truth undeniable: writing fast software in C++ demands constant, exhausting vigilance. Every pointer dereference, every heap allocation, every thread interaction carries the risk of undefined behavior, data races, and security vulnerabilities that only appear at runtime, often in production.Rust eliminates this tradeoff entirely.Rust for C++ Developers is a technically rigorous, concept-mapping guide designed exclusively for engineers who already think in terms of memory layouts, RAII, pointer aliasing, and instruction caches. This is not a beginner's introduction to programming. It is a direct translation of everything you already know into a language whose compiler enforces the exact disciplines you currently maintain manually.What You Will LearnHow Rust's ownership model formalizes C++'s RAII pattern into an unbreakable compile-time contractThe borrow checker's Aliasing XOR Mutability rule and how it eliminates dangling pointers and data races permanentlyLifetime annotations, non-lexical lifetime analysis, and pointer validity across complex scope boundariesRust's algebraic data types, traits, generics, and monomorphization, mapped directly to C++ templates and abstract base classesSmart pointer types and interior mutability patterns replacing std:: shared_ptr and std:: weak_ptrFearless concurrency using the Send and Sync marker traits, scoped threads, and channel-based message passingAsync Rust and state machine compilation compared directly to C++20 coroutinesZero-cost iterator abstractions proven against compiled assembly outputSystems-level optimization including SIMD intrinsics, cache-friendly layouts, lock-free atomics, and arena allocatorsSeamless C++ interoperability using the Foreign Function Interface, bindgen, and the cc crateWho This Book Is ForThis book is written for experienced C++ developers, systems programmers, and low-level engineers building operating systems, embedded firmware, game engines, high-frequency trading platforms, and network infrastructure.

C++ developers already know the hard parts. Now write code the compiler proves safe.
Decades of systems programming have made one truth undeniable: writing fast software in C++ demands constant, exhausting vigilance. Every pointer dereference, every heap allocation, every thread interaction carries the risk of undefined behavior, data races, and security vulnerabilities that only appear at runtime, often in production.
Rust eliminates this tradeoff entirely.
Rust for C++ Developers is a technically rigorous, concept-mapping guide designed exclusively for engineers who already think in terms of memory layouts, RAII, pointer aliasing, and instruction caches. This is not a beginner's introduction to programming. It is a direct translation of everything you already know into a language whose compiler enforces the exact disciplines you currently maintain manually.
What You Will Learn
-
How Rust's ownership model formalizes C++'s RAII pattern into an unbreakable compile-time contract
-
The borrow checker's Aliasing XOR Mutability rule and how it eliminates dangling pointers and data races permanently
-
Lifetime annotations, non-lexical lifetime analysis, and pointer validity across complex scope boundaries
-
Rust's algebraic data types, traits, generics, and monomorphization, mapped directly to C++ templates and abstract base classes
-
Smart pointer types and interior mutability patterns replacing std::shared_ptr and std::weak_ptr
-
Fearless concurrency using the Send and Sync marker traits, scoped threads, and channel-based message passing
-
Async Rust and state machine compilation compared directly to C++20 coroutines
-
Zero-cost iterator abstractions proven against compiled assembly output
-
Systems-level optimization including SIMD intrinsics, cache-friendly layouts, lock-free atomics, and arena allocators
-
Seamless C++ interoperability using the Foreign Function Interface, bindgen, and the cc crate
Who This Book Is For
This book is written for experienced C++ developers, systems programmers, and low-level engineers building operating systems, embedded firmware, game engines, high-frequency trading platforms, and network infrastructure. Every explanation builds on concepts you already possess.
If you have ever traced a segmentation fault through a core dump, hunted a race condition across a million-line codebase, or written documentation that was the only thing standing between your code and a memory corruption vulnerability, this book was written for you.
Modern systems programming no longer requires choosing between safety and speed. Rust proves both are possible, at compile time.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
