What is the linear type system and its application to resource management?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) A type system ensuring every linear value is used exactly once, enabling memory management without GC and compile-time prevention of use-after-free and double-free
B
Correct Answer
A type system ensuring every linear value is used exactly once, enabling memory management without GC and compile-time prevention of use-after-free and double-free
Explanation
Linear types (Girard's linear logic, Rust's ownership): a linear resource must be used exactly once. Prevents: use-after-free (can't use moved value), double-free (only one owner), aliasing violations. Rust implements linear types for memory safety.
