# Memory model
A Rust program's memory consists of a static set of *items* and a *heap*.
Immutable portions of the heap may be shared between threads, mutable portions
may not.
Immutable portions of the heap may be safely shared between threads, mutable
portions may not be safely shared, but several mechanisms for effectively-safe
sharing of mutable values, built on unsafe code but enforcing a safe locking
discipline, exist in the standard library.
Allocations in the stack consist of *variables*, and allocations in the heap
consist of *boxes*.
