# 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()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```meson
|
|
|
|
rustmod.test(name, target, ...)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 function takes two positional arguments, the first is the name of the
|
|
|
|
test and the second is the library or executable that is the rust based target.
|
|
|
|
It also takes the following keyword arguments:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `dependencies`: a list of test-only Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- `link_with`: a list of additional build Targets to link with (*since 1.2.0*)
|
|
|
|
- `rust_args`: a list of extra arguments passed to the Rust compiler (*since 1.2.0*)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function also accepts all of the keyword arguments accepted by the
|
|
|
|
[[test]] function except `protocol`, it will set that automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### bindgen()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function wraps bindgen to simplify creating rust bindings around C
|
|
|
|
libraries. This has two advantages over invoking bindgen 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 automatically handles assertions, synchronizing Rust and C/C++ to have the same behavior
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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',
|
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Since 1.1.0* Meson will synchronize assertions for Rust and C/C++ when the
|
|
|
|
`b_ndebug` option is set (via `-DNDEBUG` for C/C++, and `-C
|
|
|
|
debug-assertions=on` for Rust), and will pass `-DNDEBUG` as an extra argument
|
|
|
|
to clang. This allows for reliable wrapping of `-DNDEBUG` controlled behavior
|
|
|
|
with `#[cfg(debug_asserions)]` and or `cfg!()`. Before 1.1.0, assertions for Rust
|
|
|
|
were never turned on by Meson.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Since 1.2.0* Additional arguments to pass to clang may be specified in a
|
|
|
|
*machine file in the properties section:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
|
|
[properties]
|
|
|
|
bindgen_clang_arguments = ['--target', 'x86_64-linux-gnu']
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### proc_macro()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```meson
|
|
|
|
rustmod.proc_macro(name, sources, ...)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Since 1.3.0*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function creates a Rust `proc-macro` crate, similar to:
|
|
|
|
```meson
|
|
|
|
[[shared_library]](name, sources,
|
|
|
|
rust_crate_type: 'proc-macro',
|
|
|
|
native: true)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`proc-macro` targets can be passed to `link_with` keyword argument of other Rust
|
|
|
|
targets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only a subset of [[shared_library]] keyword arguments are allowed:
|
|
|
|
- rust_args
|
|
|
|
- rust_dependency_map
|
|
|
|
- sources
|
|
|
|
- dependencies
|
|
|
|
- extra_files
|
|
|
|
- link_args
|
|
|
|
- link_depends
|
|
|
|
- link_with
|
|
|
|
- override_options
|
