Crate probe_c_api [−] [src]
About probe-c-api
The probe-c-api library creates and runs short test scripts to examine the
representation of types and the representations and values of constants in a
C library's API. The main goal is to assist Rust-based build systems,
especially Cargo build scripts, in producing bindings to C libraries
automatically. Nonetheless, this approach may be extended in the nebulous
future, e.g. by probing other aspects of a C API, by probing features in
other C-like languages (especially C++), or by adding features to aid in
writing bindings for other languages.
Source file encoding
Currently, all strings corresponding to C source code are represented as UTF-8. If this is a problem, the user may modify the compile and run functions commands to do appropriate translation.
Structs
| CompileRunOutput |
Outputs of both compilation and running. |
| Probe |
A struct that stores information about how to compile and run test programs. |
Enums
| CProbeError |
Error type used when a C API probing program fails to compile or run. |
| NewProbeError |
Errors that can occur during probe construction. |
Type Definitions
| CProbeResult |
Result type from most functions that create C probing programs. |
| CommandResult |
Result of compilation and run commands. Currently just an alias for the
standard library types used by |
