alt Hacker NewsThey are saying that running the compiled code is memory-unsafe when there is a compiler bug, and that’s what developers do next. The memory corruption happens in a different process.
In this respect, effectively all the compiler should be treated sort of like an unsafe region because it requires extra care to avoid memory corruption bugs.
That's not what it says at all. The section we're talking about is for the compiler and emitting machine code

Anywhere talking about the `unsafe` keyword is within the Rust code.
