That's one of the reasons why Rust is not in functional safety ISOs (yet?).

For me the "reasonably well-defined" screams "undefined".

We in our functional safety field are governed by letters, not by a BS "spirit" of our laws.

Everything is pretty formalized and codified.

Then why do we talk about safety?

By many ISOs, the term is very defined very loaded. If Rust and Swift can't play in this filed (e.g. because GC puts a system into an undefined state, even so shortly) then we should not allow these languages in the field, at least until a fully defined system is possible.
