A Simple Rust Library
Exporting Rust functions and types to C is easy. Here’s a simple Rust library:
interoperability/rust/libanalyze/analyze.rs
//! Rust FFI demo. #![deny(improper_ctypes_definitions)] use std::os::raw::c_int; /// Analyze the numbers. // SAFETY: There is no other global function of this name. #[unsafe(no_mangle)] pub extern "C" fn analyze_numbers(x: c_int, y: c_int) { if x < y { println!("x ({x}) is smallest!"); } else { println!("y ({y}) is probably larger than x ({x})"); } }
interoperability/rust/libanalyze/Android.bp
rust_ffi {
name: "libanalyze_ffi",
crate_name: "analyze_ffi",
srcs: ["analyze.rs"],
include_dirs: ["."],
}
#[unsafe(no_mangle)]
disables Rust’s usual name mangling, so the exported
symbol will just be the name of the function. You can also use
#[unsafe(export_name = "some_name")]
to specify whatever name you want.
