Rust bindgen helpers

Utilities to rename, change case, and fix Rust code generated from the C headers using bindgen.

Usage

use bindgen::Builder;
use bindgen_helpers::{rename_enum, Renamer};

fn main() {
  // true to enable debug output as warnings
  let mut renamer = Renamer::new(true);
  
  // rename a single item, e.g. a struct, enum, or a typedef
  renamer.rename_item("my_struct", "MyStruct");
  
  // rename an enum and its values
  rename_enum!(
    renamer,
    "my_enum" => "MyEnum", // rename the enum itself
    prefix: "I_SAID_",     // optionally remove a prefix
    suffix: "_ENUM",       // optionally remove a suffix
    case: Pascal,          // optionally set case convert, defaults to "PascalCase"
    "MV_IT" => "Value1",   // rename a specific value after prefix/suffix removal
    "MV_IT2" => "Value2",  // more specific value renames
  );

  let bindings = Builder::default()
    // in real code, use .header("path/to/header.h")
    .header_contents("test.h", r#"

struct my_struct {
    int a;
};

enum my_enum {
	I_SAID_YES_ENUM,
	I_SAID_NO_ENUM,
	I_SAID_MV_IT_ENUM,
	I_SAID_MV_IT2_ENUM,
};

"#)
    // generated regex str includes all the renames, not just enums, but it's fine 
    .rustified_enum(renamer.get_regex_str())
    .parse_callbacks(Box::new(renamer))
    .generate().unwrap();
}

//
// This is the approximate code that would be generated by the above:
//

#[repr(C)]
#[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone)]
pub struct MyStruct {
  pub a: ::std::os::raw::c_int,
}

#[repr(u32)]
#[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone, Hash, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub enum MyEnum {
  Yes = 0,
  No = 1,
  Value1 = 2,
  Value2 = 3,
}

See the list of all case variants supported by the convert_case crate.

Development

• This project is easier to develop with just, a modern alternative to make. Install it with cargo install just.
• To get a list of available commands, run just.
• To run tests, use just test.
• On git push, it will run a few validations, including cargo fmt, cargo clippy, and cargo test. Use git push --no-verify to skip these checks.
