17. you_can::turn_off_the_borrow_checker (docs.rs)
You can’t “turn off the borrow checker” in Rust, and you shouldn’t want to. Rust’s references aren’t pointers, and the compiler is free to decimate code that tries to use references as though they are. If you need raw pointer behaviour in Rust, don’t use this, use Rust’s actual raw pointers, which don’t make the same aliasing guarantees to the compiler. However, if you would like to pretend the borrow checker doesn’t exist for educational purposes and never in production code, this macro that will suppress many (though not all) borrow checker errors in the code it’s applied to.

20. CPPL: A Circuit Prompt Programming Language (arxiv.org)
Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in register-transfer level (RTL) design automation, but direct RTL generation remains difficult to validate, optimize, and integrate with compiler-based hardware design flows. Hardware compiler infrastructures such as CIRCT provide typed intermediate representations, legality checks, and optimization passes, yet current LLMs struggle to emit raw compiler IR because of MLIR syntax, SSA discipline, dialect-specific operations, and strict width constraints. This paper presents CPPL, a compiler-mediated design framework that turns LLM-assisted hardware generation into a statically checkable frontend problem rather than an unconstrained RTL text-generation task. CPPL combines a Python frontend DSL for declaring module interfaces and hierarchy with CPPL IR, a JSON-based circuit IR designed to expose compiler-visible structure while remaining accessible to LLMs. The compiler infers operation widths from declared module ports, validates generated IR, checks hierarchy and port bindings, and deterministically lowers the result to CIRCT for synthesizable Verilog generation. On the RTLLM benchmark, CPPL improves functional correctness over direct Verilog and direct CIRCT IR generation, while CIRCT optimization reduces post-synthesis AIG node counts. These results show that a compiler-mediated interface can make LLM-assisted hardware design more reliable, analyzable, and amenable to backend optimization. CPPL is available at https://github.com/SawyDust1228/CPPL.
