Module interoptopus::lang::c [−][src]
Expand description
Canonical, almost-C representation of items in an FFI boundary.
The types in here are the Library building blocks with which
a C API can be built. In addition, they contain a few extra, non-C elements
(e.g., namespaces, patterns), all of which however can reasonably be mapped to or ignored in C.
Except for special circumstances (e.g., when implementing CTypeInfo
for a type you don’t own; or when writing your own backend) you will not need any of the items in this module.
In most cases the types here are automatically generated by an attribute; and later consumed
by a backend.
Structs
A (C-style) type[N] containing a fixed number of elements of the same type.
Used for Rust and C struct with named fields, must be #[repr(C)].
A Rust const definition with a name and value, might become a #define.
Markdown generated from the /// you put on Rust code.
A (C-style) enum containing numbered variants.
Fields of a CompositeType.
Represents extern "C" fn() types in Rust and (*f)(). in C.
A named, exported #[no_mangle] extern "C" fn f() function.
Represents multiple in and a single out parameters.
Additional information for user-defined types.
A named struct that becomes a fieldless typedef struct S S; in C.
Parameters of a FunctionSignature.
Variant and value of a EnumType.
Enums
A type that can exist at the FFI boundary.
The value of a constant.
A primitive type that natively exists in C and is FFI safe.
A primitive value expressible on C-level.
Doesn’t exist in C, but other languages can benefit from accidentally using ‘private’ fields.
