The paper reports that all 1,325 theorems from the VeriContest benchmark—comprising 1,007 competitive‑programming problems in Rust with Verus specifications—were successfully proved using Rust‑Prover, a Lean 4‑based verifier. The authors translated each Verus specification and Rust program into Lean, then used Lean’s kernel to confirm the proofs, achieving a 70% first‑iteration success rate and completing 1,259 proofs in under 32 hours on Claude Opus 5.5. The translated Lean programs matched the original Rust outputs on 21,413 benchmark test cases, and the study also compared performance across multiple large‑language‑model settings, noting that higher reasoning effort increased cost without improving proof counts.

arXiv:2608. 13681v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Translating C code into safe, idiomatic Rust is a longstanding software-engineering goal because it can eliminate entire classes of memory-safety vulnerabilities while preserving the functional behavior of legacy systems.

arXiv:2607. 13921v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Languages with rich static semantics, such as Rust, provide stronger guarantees for AI-generated code, but their strictness makes generation more difficult.

The paper examines how large‑language‑model (LLM) decompilers, which produce clean, idiomatic C code, are currently evaluated mainly on recompilability and passing shipped tests. It shows that these metrics can mask significant behavioral differences: a decompiled function may recompile and pass all tests yet diverge on other inputs or lose disclosed vulnerabilities. To address this, the authors propose Decompile‑Diverge, a behavioral oracle that synthesizes drivers, fuzzes inputs, and compares the decompiled code’s behavior to the original, revealing divergences in up to 13% of cases and exposing gaps in current evaluation suites.
