Crate ovr_sys [] [src]

This crate provides raw unsafe bindings to LibOVR, the Oculus Rift runtime library.

The currently targeted version of LibOVR is 1.15.0

Good API documentation is provided here, transformed from the original doxygen documentation. More high level documentation can be found on the Oculus developer web site. Example code has been translated from C to mostly equivalent Rust (TODO: except in the DirectX module).

The bindings are generated directly from the LibOVR headers, and some conventions have been followed when translating from the C code.

  • Each enum has been translated into a type definition (defined to be i32) and a collection of constants. This preserves the ability to easily use them as bitflags.
  • Alignment requirements on structs have been implemented using dummy zero-sized array fields. When initialising these fields, the value [] will suffice.
  • Where the layout of structs differs between 32-bit and 64-bit platforms due to dummy padding fields, conditional compilation is used. For this reason it is recommended to not construct the affected structs in a typical fashion as this may result in code that compiles on one but not both architectures (due to missing/spurious padding field).

    A reasonable approach is to use .. struct initialisation syntax, like so:

    let init_params = ovrInitParams {
       Flags: ovrInit_RequestVersion,
       RequestedMinorVersion: OVR_MINOR_VERSION,
       LogCallback: None,
       UserData: 0,
       ConnectionTimeoutMS: 0,
       .. mem::uninitialized()
    };

    Like all unsafe code uses of ::std::mem::uninitialized() should be scrutinised for mistakes.

  • Function-like C macros have been translated into functions with the same name.

Optional features are provided in sub-modules. These features are audio, directx, opengl and vulkan. These sub-modules will only be present if the corresponding feature has been enabled in the Cargo manifest. opengl is enabled by default.
