RipSafe: Segfault Shield for Large-Scale Search Tools
Developers of large-scale search utilities suffer from memory waste and occasional segfaults when processing very‑large datasets, especially with musl binaries. RipSafe provides a runtime memory audit and compile‑time optimization engine that automatically proves page usage, eliminates over‑allocation, and guarantees stable operation on massive search workloads.

This is an optimization: Every program that allocates more memory than it needs is wasteful, but the kernel can recover that waste by not backing the allocation with memory -- the program has to prove each page is needed
