Crate startup

Lightweight (zero dependency, proc_macro free) way to run code before main.

This crate is the moral equivalent to the ctor crate, although the API is completely different. The main reason for it's existence is:

• Much faster to compile — no proc macros / syn / quote.

• More obviously safe (avoids things I find dodgy, like dtor, ctors that initialize data, uses extern "C" function in function array called from C ...)

• Try to handle untested unix platforms by assuming they support at least the .ctors section. This is in line with what clang does to compile c++ static constructors.

Example

startup::on_startup! {
    println!("I'm running before main");
}
fn main() {
    println!("I'm inside main");
}

Macros

on_startup

Run some code automatically before the execution of main.
