## Behavior considered undefined

Rust code, including within `unsafe` blocks and `unsafe` functions is incorrect
if it exhibits any of the behaviors in the following list. It is the
programmer's responsibility when writing `unsafe` code that it is not possible
to let `safe` code exhibit these behaviors.
Rust code is incorrect if it exhibits any of the behaviors in the following
list. This includes code within `unsafe` blocks and `unsafe` functions.
`unsafe` only means that avoiding undefined behavior is on the programmer; it
does not change anything about the fact that Rust programs must never cause
undefined behavior.

It is the programmer's responsibility when writing `unsafe` code to ensure that
any safe code interacting with the `unsafe` code cannot trigger these
behaviors. `unsafe` code that satisfies this property for any safe client is
called *sound*; if `unsafe` code can be misused by safe code to exhibit
undefined behavior, it is *unsound*.
