Published my first crate today to https://crates.io/crates/nvtiff-sys! Rust bindings to the nvTIFF (Nvidia TIFF encoder/decoder) library.
Interface is not very friendly (need to use lots of unsafe), so definitely don't use it in production yet. But hoping it'll help to GPU-accelerate TIFF image processing (especially for geospatial or medical imaging workloads) once I wrap my head around how to handle raw pointers and lifetimes.
It's now Yvan Sraka's @yvan turn! Presenting "Beyond proc-macros".
question to all the #rustlang #FFI experts out there: Within a bigger C code base I like to replace some C code with Rust. I have a existing C header file describing the API and data types which I really don't like to touch. And it seems like this use-case is not really covered by bindgen or cbindgen.
#bindgen helps to generate Rust types, etc. from header files but assumes that your goal is to call from Rust into existing C code. All API functions are inside `extern` blocks.
We wrapped up our work on rust-bindgen and handed it over to its original maintainer @emilio. Thanks to Prossimo and Emilio for the trust they placed in us.
You can read about our major work and milestones achieved in Prossimo's blog post https://www.memorysafety.org/blog/automating-releases-bindgen/
Bindgen is an important tool for helping to accelerate the transition from C and C++ to Rust because it generates FFI bindings. We knew that improving the robustness of bindgen would advance our efforts of bringing memory safety to critical infrastructure. We've been working with Ferrous Systems to make improvements to bindgen. This post summarizes their most recent work. Josh Aas, Head of ISRG's Prossimo project Ferrous Systems maintained bindgen through the end of 2023, and we're excited to share an update on our contributions to this project.
Fixed a critical bug in **rust-bindgen**!

Interesting. It seems that Rust's bindgen (the magic that turns C libraries into Rust libraries) does translate constant #define macros, but not "function-like" macros that take arguments. So you will have a bad time trying to port a C library that uses a lot of those.
