Generating bindings for legacy applications

As we saw in the first recipe, Rust's interop capabilities with other native languages require specific structures to be present on either side to declare the memory layout properly. This task is easy to automate using rust-bindgen. Let's see how this makes integrating with native code easier.

Getting ready

Just like the first recipe in this chapter, Including legacy C code, this recipe has the following prerequisites:

gcc (https://gcc.gnu.org/) (includes ar and cc)
git (https://git-scm.com/) (command-line or UI tools are fine)
llvm (https://releases.llvm.org/2.7/docs/UsingLibraries.html) (library and header files for the LLVM compiler project)
libclang (https://clang...

Claus Matzinger

Claus Matzinger

Claus Matzinger is a software engineer with a very diverse background. After working in a small company maintaining code for embedded devices, he joined a large corporation to work on legacy Smalltalk applications. This led to a great interest in programming languages early on, and Claus became the CTO for a health games start-up based on Scala technology. Since then, Claus' roles have shifted toward customer-facing roles in the IoT database-technology start-up crate.io and, most recently, Microsoft. There, he hosts a podcast, writes code together with customers, and blogs about the solutions arising from these engagements. For more than 5 years, Claus has implemented software to help customers innovate, achieve, and maintain success.

Network Programming with Rust

Network Programming with Rust

Rust has steadily become one of the most important new programming languages in recent years. One the one hand, it is low-level enough to provide fine-grained control over memory while providing memory-safety through compile-time validation. Rust also guarantees data race-free parallelism. All these features make it uniquely suitable for writing low-level networking applications. This book will help developers get started on writing such applications in Rust.
