rustcxx is a tool allowing C++ to be used from a Rust project easily. It works by allowing snippets of C++ to be included within a Rust function, and vice-versa.
#![plugin(rustcxx_plugin)]
cxx_inline! {
#include <stdint.h>
uint32_t square_it(uint32_t x) {
return rust![(x: u32) -> u32 {
println!("Rust: Squaring {}", x);
x * x
}];
}
}
let x: u32 = 5;
let square = unsafe { cxx![(x: u32) -> u32 {
std::cout << "C++: Squaring " << x << std::endl;
square_it(x)
}] };See the provided example for more details.
rustcxx requires a nightly version of the Rust compiler.
Add to your Cargo.toml:
[package]
build = "build.rs"
[dependencies.rustcxx_plugin]
git = "https://github.com/google/rustcxx"
branch = "unstable"
[build-dependencies.rustcxx_codegen]
git = "https://github.com/google/rustcxx"
branch = "unstable"and create a build.rs file containing the following:
extern crate rustcxx_codegen;
fn main() {
rustcxx_codegen::build("src/main.rs");
