Rust + C

A little C/C++ with your Rust. The "Hello world" to building Rust apps with C/C++ libs.

Prerequisites

The easiest way to get started is by using the Visual Studio Code Remote - Containers / Codespaces development container included in this repository. This container comes with Rust, Cargo, and several VSCode extensions pre-installed to help you get started quickly.

• For Remote - Containers, use the Remote-Containers: Open Repository in Container... command which creates a Docker volume for better disk I/O on macOS and Windows.
• For Codespaces, install the GitHub Codespaces extension in VSCode, and use the Codespaces: Create New Codespace command.

Once your workspace is setup, open a terminal to check everything is working:

cargo --version

rustc --version

Build & Run

To build the project, run the following command:

cargo run

This will compile and link the C library using cmake-rs, generate the Rust bindings using bindgen, and run the application.

To pass arguments to the program, use the following command:

cargo run -- <arg>
