[GSoC] Rust Drop trait support in gccrs - Status Report 5
Janet Chien provides the fifth status report for her Google Summer of Code project to implement Rust’s Drop trait in gccrs. Progress includes separating drop scopes, analyzing BIR for drop styles, and addressing an issue with double drops. Ongoing work involves refining patches and extending BIR analysis to control flow.
