Nathan Froyd 623f837bed Bug 1655929 - run `cargo update` and `mach vendor rust` for rlbox + lucet updates; r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,rstewart As the commit title suggests, this is a manual update, but we need to also update `config/rules.mk` for the changed location of the wasi bindings. Depends on D85408 Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D85409		2020-07-30 15:54:20 +00:00

libc - Raw FFI bindings to platforms' system libraries

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).

This crate exports all underlying platform types, functions, and constants under the crate root, so all items are accessible as libc::foo. The types and values of all the exported APIs match the platform that libc is compiled for.

More detailed information about the design of this library can be found in its associated RFC.

Usage

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
libc = "0.2"

Features

std: by default libc links to the standard library. Disable this feature remove this dependency and be able to use libc in #![no_std] crates.
extra_traits: all structs implemented in libc are Copy and Clone. This feature derives Debug, Eq, Hash, and PartialEq.
const-extern-fn: Changes some extern fns into const extern fns. This features requires a nightly rustc
deprecated: use_std is deprecated, and is equivalent to std.

Rust version support

The minimum supported Rust toolchain version is Rust 1.13.0 . APIs requiring newer Rust features are only available on newer Rust toolchains:

Feature	Version
`union`	1.19.0
`const mem::size_of`	1.24.0
`repr(align)`	1.25.0
`extra_traits`	1.25.0
`core::ffi::c_void`	1.30.0
`repr(packed(N))`	1.33.0

Platform support

Platform-specific documentation (master branch).

See ci/build.sh for the platforms on which libc is guaranteed to build for each Rust toolchain. The test-matrix at Azure and Cirrus CI show the platforms in which libc tests are run.
