  • RustPython – A Python-3 (CPython >= 3.11.0) Interpreter written in Rust
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Mar 2023
    It does support calling into other compilers and toolchains through build scripts and such. Take cc-rs[0] for example: this allows building C and C++ files natively without even calling an executable yourself.

    In practice, I'd expect libraries to just call make/cmake/ninja for you, or (like openssl-sys) ask you to install the necessary libraries using your favourite package manager.

  • Any crates for compiling C ( or other language ) from a rust binary?
    1 project | /r/rust | 8 Jan 2023
    The cc crate (https://github.com/rust-lang/cc-rs) is widely used for compiling C code from Rust (often in a build.rs file for the purpose of wrapping a C library so that it can be used from Rust). However, I believe it generally does expect a C compiler to be present.
  • Calling C code from Rust

    It might be quite tedious to compile static library manually every time we make changes in C code. The better solution is to instead utilize the cc crate, which provides an idiomatic Rust interface to the compiler provided by the host.

    > You're splitting hairs in a weird way. rustc cannot compile C code. zig can.

    But why do I care? I don't use rustc directly, the build system of choice does. And very few of the major build systems have an issue handling multiple languages.

    Cargo (rust's build system) supports build scripts and the community has already created C/C++ compiler hooks such as https://github.com/alexcrichton/cc-rs

    rustup and cargo also provide easy cross-compilation support, too.

  • Windows can't find link exe
    1 project | /r/rust | 5 Aug 2021
    I think it's getting confused because link.exe is in your PATH. But it's not the link.exe it expects. Link tools are detected using the cc crate so it would need to be fixed there. Would you be willing to open an issue about this?
  • Most loved programming language Rust sparks privacy concerns
    6 projects | /r/rust | 3 Apr 2021
    It’s not super well-documented, but there is an option to change this. --remap-path-prefix $(pwd)= in your RUSTFLAGS will usually do the trick. If you have any C dependencies you’ll also need similar things in CFLAGS, see https://github.com/alexcrichton/cc-rs/issues/593
