This project is a rust wrapper around a hypothetical c++ library
(see libdummy ) that exposes a C abi.
The goal of this repo is to document/explore how to write such a rust wrapper
from the perspective of someone not only new to rust, but new to writing
non garbage collected code in general.
One very important caveat is that my c/c++ knowledge is very limited.
I've lived most of my life in the Java/JS/Python land of GC goodness.
This is an attempt to get my feet wet on the mystical world where memory management
is ... manual 😱
To build libdummy.so:
pushd libdummy/build
cmake ..
cmake --build . -j 4 # <--or set to desired number of threads
popd
To run:
cargo run
