Things on this page are fragmentary and immature notes/thoughts of the author. Please read with your own judgement!
cc
cc is a build-time dependency for Cargo build scripts to assist in invoking the native C compiler to compile native C code into a static archive to be linked into Rust code.
cmake
cmake
is a build dependency for running cmake to build a native library.
libc
libc Raw FFI bindings to platform libraries like libc. libc provides all of the definitions necessary to easily interoperate with C code (or "C-like" code) on each of the platforms that Rust supports. This includes type definitions (e.g. c_int), constants (e.g. EINVAL) as well as function headers (e.g. malloc).
C2Rust
C2Rust helps you migrate C99-compliant code to Rust. The translator (or transpiler), c2rust transpile, produces unsafe Rust code that closely mirrors the input C code. The primary goal of the translator is to preserve functionality; test suites should continue to pass after translation.
typeshare
Typeshare is the ultimate tool for synchronizing your type definitions between Rust and other languages for seamless FFI.
rust-bindgen
rust-bindgen automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C (and some C++) libraries.
ritual
Ritual allows to use C++ libraries from Rust. It analyzes the C++ API of a library and generates a fully-featured crate that provides convenient (but still unsafe) access to this API.
rust-cpp
rust-cpp is a build tool & macro which enables you to write C++ code inline in your rust code.
crubit
crubit is a C++/Rust bidirectional interop tool.
autocxx
autocxx is a tool for calling C++ from Rust in a heavily automated, but safe, fashion.
inline-python
inline-python inlines Python code directly in your Rust code.
rust-cpython
libloading
libloading provides bindings around the platform's dynamic library loading primitives with greatly improved memory safety.
