I wonder if using Rust here adds any safety, or how &quot;much&quot; it adds, because there is a lot of &quot;pub unsafe extern &quot;C&quot;&quot; in the Rust code, there are many uses of &quot;unsafe&quot; (that do affect other parts of the code). In this situation, does using Rust make a significant difference in terms of safety? Genuinely curious.
