A very WIP Rust to C transpiler. Far from all Rust functionality is implemented currently (see todo!()s). This transpiler uses the language similarities between Rust and C to build C source code from a Rust syntax tree. Basic language features will become available over time, but complex features like generics or macros will likely not be possible without actual code analysis.
rs2c includes an optional feature opencl to transpile Rust functions into OpenCL kernels.
A simple Rust function translated into C:
fn foo(y: f32, argument: &mut [u32; 3]) -> f32 {
if y>=10.0 {
return y.clamp(12.0_f32, 11.0_f32);
} else if y == 2.0_f64 as f32 {
barfoo(&mut argument);
} else {
foobar();
}
let z: [u32; 4] = [2; 4];
let mut x: [f32; 3] = [y, 1.0, argument[0] as f32];
let t: f32 = bar(&mut x);
return x[0] * t * z[2];
}float foo(const float y, unsigned int* argument) {
if (y >= 10.0) {
return clamp(y, 12.0f, 11.0f);
} else if (y == (float)2.0) {
barfoo(argument);
} else {
foobar();
}
const unsigned int z[4] = {2};
float x[3] = {y, 1.0, (float)argument[0]};
const float t = bar(x);
return x[0] * t * z[2];

- Smart Rust-to-C Type translation
- Reference translation

- OpenCL kernel generation
This project is under development to facilitate a crate that allows annotated Rust code to be compiled and executed via OpenCL.
