fbindgen

A toy replacement for Rust 'bindgen', that also attempts to rewrite simple macros and inline functions

Uses the clang C++ library from LLVM 12 or above

The classic bindgen sensibly discards those, as they are not part of the target library's ABI. I wish to be able to call them, as they are part of the target library's user manual

Usage

echo <configuration> | fbindgen <C header file>

Output Rust code in './out.rs'

Output list of included .h files in './includes.txt' (absolute paths, in no particular order), for correct regeneration

Configuration is taken on stdin, as any sequence of these lines, in any amount :

• Pkgconf:<package name> : Call pkgconf to retrieve include paths. Add linker references to the Rust output
• Functions:<regular expression> : Create bindings for any exported function those name matches the filter
• Constants:<regular expression> : Define any constant, or create binding for any global variable those name matches the filter. Considers both declared variables and #define's
• Types:<regular expression> : Defines any struct, enum or typedef those name matches the filter
• Inlines:<regular expression> : Converts to Rust any inline function or macro (if it is usable in a function-like manner) those name matches the filter
