    I've come across avr-rust, avr-hal and both seem to have arduino stuff, wondering which is the most beginner friendly? (I have a bit of experience with the regular arduino IDE but want to switch over to doing all the stuff in rust for a challenge)

    All you need is in the documentation: https://rahix.github.io/avr-hal/arduino_hal/index.html even though reading the documentation without knowing what you're looking for can be quite difficult, so looking at some examples might be more helpful.
  • Five simple steps to use any Arduino C++ library in a Rust project 🦀
    11 projects | dev.to | 13 Nov 2022
    Rust language shares all advantages of efficient C++ code. With the rust community growing year after year, more and more people try using rust to program their Arduino boards. Consequently, the Arduino Rust ecosystem have significantly developed in the last couple of years. The Hardware Abstraction Layer for AVR microcontrollers avr-hal, Rudino library and ravedude CLI utility to make Rust development for AVR microcontrollers easier are just a few examples of the solid foundation developed so far.
  • The coincidental typos compiled..
    1 project | /r/rust | 20 Oct 2022
    Today I was toying with the arduino again, making an attached LED matrix print awesome messages better than it previously had. I wanted to use millis() found in the examples in the unsurpassed avr-hal crate, to orchestrate the duration it should show (part of) a character before moving on. But that is all besides the point. I made a few mistakes that coincidentally compiled and as such made me believe I was doing things right. (Perhaps I should note here that I am visually impaired so it is a bit easier for me to glance over smaller differences.)

    I'm trying to make an Arduino display text on an LCD using I2C (HD44780). So far, I've used arduino-hal from the avr-hal crate (github.com/Rahix/avr-hal) to program the Arduino, and I wonder if anyone happens to know of a library/crate which is compatible with it? So far I've only found ag-lcd which doesn't seem to work with I2C.

    You can never mistake type_declaration with an identifier, otherwise the program will not work. Aside from that constraint, you are free to name them whatever you like, there is no one standard, and each parser has it own naming conventions, unless you are planning to use something like LLVM. If you are interested, you can see examples of naming in different language parsers in the AST Explorer.

  • C++ Safety, in Context

    > It's true, this was a CVE in Rust and not a CVE in C++, but only because C++ doesn't regard the issue as a problem at all. The problem definitely exists in C++, but it's not acknowledged as a problem, let alone fixed.

    Can you find a link that substantiates your claim? You're throwing out some heavy accusations here that don't seem to match reality at all.

    Case in point, this was fixed in both major C++ libraries:

    https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/commit/ebf6175464768983a2d...

    https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/4f67a909902d8ab9...

    So what C++ community refused to regard this as an issue and refused to fix it? Where is your supporting evidence for your claims?

    Through value tracking. It's actually LLVM that does this, GCC probably does it as well, so in theory explicit bounds checks in regular C code would also be removed by the compiler.

    How it works exactly I don't know, and apparently it's so complex that it requires over 9000 lines of C++ to express:
