c-scape
A libc implementation in Rust
C-ABI-compatible libc, libm, libpthread, and libunwind interfaces, implemented
in terms of crates written in Rust, such as rustix, origin, sync-resolve,
libm, realpath-ext, and memchr. Currently this only supports
*-*-linux-gnu ABIs, though other ABIs could be added in the future. And
currently this only supports features needed by Rust programs, though more
support for C programs (eg. printf) could also be added in the future.
The goal is to have very little code in c-scape itself, by factoring out all of the significant functionality into independent crates with more Rust-idiomatic APIs, with c-scape just wrapping those APIs to implement the C ABIs.
This is currently experimental, incomplete, and some things aren’t optimized.
c-scape implements malloc using the Rust global allocator, and the default
Rust global allocator is implemented using malloc, so it’s necessary to
enable a different global allocator. The mustang crate handles this
automatically.
This is part of the Mustang project, building Rust programs written entirely in Rust.
