repr_c_wrapper 0.1.1

Opaque #[repr(C)] wrapper for #[repr(Rust)] types that can be passed by value over FFI

IMPORTANT Only types requiring 8 Byte alignment or less can be wrapped, and the C environment must align uint64_t to at least 8 Byte boundaries.

use repr_c_wrapper::*;

#[repr(C)]
pub struct OpaqueWrapper(repr_c_wrapper_t!(String));

#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" fn some_func() -> OpaqueWrapper {
   OpaqueWrapper("hello".to_string().into())
}
