0.2.2 (older version) Thoroughness: Low Understanding: Medium
by derekdreery on 2021-12-14
This review is from Crev, a distributed system for code reviews. To add your review, set up cargo-crev.
The current version of dBase is 0.5.0.
Lib.rs has been able to verify that all files in the crate's tarball, except Cargo.lock,
are in the crate's repository with a git tag matching the version. Please note that this check is still in beta, and absence of this confirmation does not mean that the files don't match.
Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories, so there is a possibility that published crates have a misleading repository URL, or contain different code from the code in the repository.
To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open dbase. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of dbase v0.5.0 or view the source online.
I read through the whole source, looking for malicious or dangerous code, and found none. There was one use of
unsafe, which I checked for correctness w.r.t. memory access and integer overflow, and found no issues. I didn't review how well the crate performed its intended function, although I use the crate and it works for me.
