Part 4: Advanced Rust

This part covers advanced topics: unsafe Rust, FFI, macros, advanced traits, and performance optimization.

Chapters

2. FFI - Calling C and exposing Rust to C
3. Declarative Macros - macro_rules!
4. Procedural Macros - Derive and attribute macros
5. Advanced Traits - Associated types, supertraits
6. Advanced Types - Newtype, type aliases, DSTs
7. Performance - Profiling and optimization
8. Memory Layout - Struct layout and repr

Prerequisites
