Using Rust’s Foreign Function Interface (FFI) with C!

Show Notes

The code samples here directly match the things I described in the show, so you will likely want to look at add and ffi::add, then Point, translate, and ffi::translate in that order.

Other helpful Rust FFI discussions:

• The Rust Programming Language’s materials


• the nomicon


• Rust FFI Omnibus


• the Reference’s discussion


• the associated Rust API docs
