During June 2025, Daniel King enhanced stack analysis for CHERI architectures in the rust-lang/gcc repository by porting the System.Stack_Usage unit to support CHERI-specific requirements. He updated address calculation methods in Ada to preserve capability metadata, ensuring safer and more accurate stack evaluation. Daniel introduced a Get_Stack_Base function that leverages the CSP register’s upper bound to reliably retrieve the stack base on CHERI systems. His work improved stack filling and analysis reliability, reducing the risk of capability tag and bounds faults. This contribution demonstrated depth in compiler development, embedded systems, and system programming, addressing CHERI’s unique architectural constraints.

June 2025: Delivered CHERI-targeted stack analysis enhancements for rust-lang/gcc, enabling safer and more accurate stack evaluation on CHERI architectures. Implemented portability improvements and safeguards to preserve capabilities during analysis, and expanded access to stack base information via CSP-based methods.
