Description:
Klint is a Rust compiler extension developed by Gary Guo to run some kernel-specific lint rules, which may also be useful for embedded system development. He spoke about his
recent work on the project at Kangrejos 2025 . The next day, Alejandra Gonzlez led a discussion about Rust's normal linter, Clippy . The two tools offer complementary approaches to analyzing Rust
kernel code, although both need some additional direction and support from kernel developers to reach their full potential.
