# Playdate Bindings Generator

Util to generate bindings to Playdate with additional code-gen features like in-code documentation directly by official c-reference.


## Requirements

1. Rust __nightly__ toolchain
2. [Playdate SDK][sdk]
   - Ensure that env var `PLAYDATE_SDK_PATH` points to the SDK root
3. Follow the [official documentation][sdk-prerequisites]
   - Ensure that `arm-none-eabi-gcc` or `gcc-arm-none-eabi` in your `PATH`
4. Requirements inherited by [bindgen][bindgen-crate], follow [official documentation][bindgen-requirements].


[sdk]: https://play.date/dev/#cardSDK
[sdk-prerequisites]: https://sdk.play.date/Inside%20Playdate%20with%20C.html#_prerequisites
[bindgen-requirements]: https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-bindgen/requirements.html#clang



## Configuration

Inherited configuration by bindgen: follow [bindgen official documentation][bindgen-env-var].

Env var `PLAYDATE_SDK_PATH` as described in [playdate official documentation][sdk-env-var].

Optional env var `ARM_GCC_PATH` to help to find `arm-none-eabi-gcc` (or `gcc-arm-none-eabi`) with entire toolchain. Useful only for troubleshooting.

# Usage

Cargo.toml:
```toml
[build-dependencies.bindgen]
package = "playdate-bindgen"
version = "*"
```

Add this to `build-dependencies` and add to your build-script something like this:

```rust
let cfg = bindgen::cfg::Config::default();
let generator = bindgen::Generator::new(cfg).expect("Couldn't create bindings generator.");
let out_path = bindgen::env_var("OUT_DIR").map(PathBuf::from)
	                                       .map(|p| p.join(&generator.filename.to_string()))
	                                       .unwrap();
let bindings = generator.generate().expect("Couldn't generate bindings.");
bindings.write_to_file(&out_path).expect("Couldn't write bindings.");
```

For complex examples see build-script in the [playdate-sys crate][playdate-sys-crate].
