# Rust module
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

*(new in 0.57.0)*

*(Stable since 1.0.0)*

The rust module provides helper to integrate rust code into Meson. The
|
|
|
|
goal is to make using rust in Meson more pleasant, while still
|
|
|
|
remaining mesonic, this means that it attempts to make Rust work more
|
|
|
|
like Meson, rather than Meson work more like rust.
|

|
## Functions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### test(name: string, target: library | executable, dependencies: []Dependency)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function creates a new rust unittest target from an existing rust
|
|
|
|
based target, which may be a library or executable. It does this by
|
|
|
|
copying the sources and arguments passed to the original target and
|
|
|
|
adding the `--test` argument to the compilation, then creates a new
|
|
|
|
test target which calls that executable, using the rust test protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This accepts all of the keyword arguments as the
|
|
|
|
[[test]] function except `protocol`, it will set
|
|
|
|
that automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additional, test only dependencies may be passed via the dependencies
|
|
|
|
argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### bindgen(*, input: string | BuildTarget | [](string | BuildTarget), output: string, include_directories: [](include_directories | string), c_args: []string, args: []string, dependencies: []Dependency)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function wraps bindgen to simplify creating rust bindings around C
|
|
|
|
libraries. This has two advantages over hand-rolling ones own with a
|
|
|
|
`generator` or `custom_target`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- It handles `include_directories`, so one doesn't have to manually convert them to `-I...`
|
|
|
|
- It automatically sets up a depfile, making the results more reliable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It takes the following keyword arguments
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- input — A list of Files, Strings, or CustomTargets. The first element is
|
|
|
|
the header bindgen will parse, additional elements are dependencies.
|
|
|
|
- output — the name of the output rust file
|
|
|
|
- include_directories — A list of `include_directories` or `string` objects,
|
|
|
|
these are passed to clang as `-I` arguments *(string since 1.0.0)*
|
|
|
|
- c_args — A list of string arguments to pass to clang untouched
|
|
|
|
- args — A list of string arguments to pass to `bindgen` untouched.
|
|
|
|
- dependencies — A list of `Dependency` objects to pass to the underlying clang call (*since 1.0.0*)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```meson
|
|
|
|
rust = import('unstable-rust')
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inc = include_directories('..'¸ '../../foo')
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
generated = rust.bindgen(
|
|
|
|
input : 'myheader.h',
|
|
|
|
output : 'generated.rs',
|
|
|
|
include_directories : [inc, include_directories('foo')],
|
|
|
|
args : ['--no-rustfmt-bindings'],
|
|
|
|
c_args : ['-DFOO=1'],
|
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the header depends on generated headers, those headers must be passed to
|
|
|
|
`bindgen` as well to ensure proper dependency ordering, static headers do not
|
|
|
|
need to be passed, as a proper depfile is generated:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```meson
|
|
|
|
h1 = custom_target(...)
|
|
|
|
h2 = custom_target(...)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
r1 = rust.bindgen(
|
|
|
|
input : [h1, h2], # h1 includes h2,
|
|
|
|
output : 'out.rs',
|
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
```
