But, that said, Rust code compiled in debug mode which required to get integer overflow detection is slow enough that it severely degrades the ability to use fuzz testing on many codebases, FWIW. I believe the reason is that debug mode always disables numerous optimizations that are required to make rust performant at all because of all the boilerplate emitted by earlier stages of compilation.
AFAIK there isn't a way to get the equivalent of GCC's "-fsanitize=undefined" (or -ftrapv) for checking for unexpected overflows at a performance cost similar to "-fsanitize=undefined" performance cost on C code.
It's still a much better situation than python or java, I think-- but an area that could use improvement which won't be improved if rust is above criticism.
[profile.release]
overflow-checks = false
I would probably use the flags with RUSTFLAGS to make sure that it goes to all dependencies and not just the crate you're building, if what you're building has dependencies.
