adds zero-cost stack overflow protection to your embedded programs

flip-link is known to work with ARM Cortex-M programs that link to version 0.6.x of the cortex-m-rt crate and are linked using the linker shipped with the Rust toolchain (LLD). At this time, it hasn't been tested with other architectures or runtime crates.

flip-link is available on crates.io. To install it, run

$ cargo install flip-link

Change the linker from rust-lld (the default) to flip-link in .cargo/config.toml

[target.'cfg(all(target_arch = "arm", target_os = "none"))']
# (..)
rustflags = [
  "-C", "linker=flip-link", # <- add this
  # (..)
]

NOTE that if you were using GNU ld or GNU gcc to link your program then this won't work. Support for other linkers is being tracked in issue #1

flip-link is part of the Knurling project, Ferrous Systems' effort at improving tooling used to develop for embedded systems.
