e031: FFI Deep Dive - a podcast by Chris Krycho

Exposing Rust types and functions to C API consumers.

Show Notes

It’s impossible to make the declarations below follow the order I talked through them on the recording without also making them horrible to read, so just use this outline instead:

1. add_in_rust


2. Strings
   
   
   
   1. concat_strings
   
   
   2. free_rust_string
   
   


3. Point
   
   
   
   1. point_translate
   
   


4. union


5. OpaquePoint
   
   
   
   1. opaque_point_new
   
   
   2. opaque_point_translate
   
   
   3. opaque_point_free
