This is starting from the point of knowing it is a memory corruption issue though. From my experience, memory corruption usually manifests in logic or data behaviour changes. In a Rust program you'd probably spend a few days pulling your hair out trying to understand why some data structure doesn't do what it's supposed to before considering that it's one of the unsafe blocks.

Yeah, but at least you know where to start searching afterwards.

This applies to other languages with unsafe code blocks, note that JOVIAL and ESPOL were the first ones offering such capability.
