Software development is constantly changing. The tech stack of a system is not a rigid, permanent framework, but must be continuously scrutinized and adapted if necessary.

When developing test systems, numerous factors must be taken into account that slow down software development and must be handled with particular care in order to avoid fatal errors. Memory-related risk factors in particular require a structured and cautious approach in a project of this size in order to avoid problems such as memory leaks, dangling pointers, race conditions, multithreading problems or null pointer exceptions. In order to meet these challenges and modernize the system, the question arises as to what a mixed C/C++ and Rust development environment could look like. The interoperability is to be examined, especially due to the different approaches of both programming languages. In addition, emerging problems and analyses of existing solutions to these problems will be investigated. Furthermore, it will be considered how bidirectional communication between C/C++ and Rust can be represented, both semantically and technically.

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Analyze the syntactical differences between Rust and C/C++
• Compare and evaluate interoperability of the programming paradigms
• Define clear goals and strategies for migration
• Evaluate binding solutions for cooperability between Rust and C/C++
• Create a solution for the coexisting build systems

Desired skills and qualifications

• Enrolled as Computer Sciecne student (d/f/m) or similar field of study
• Very good knowledge of Rust
• Very good knowledge of system programming
• Experience in mixed development environments
• German is mandatory
• English would be an asset
• Please upload the following documents: cover letter, CV, relevant transcripts, enrollment certificate.
