This crate calls out +to the most relevant compiler for a platform, for example using `cl` on MSVC. + +## Using cc-rs + +First, you'll want to both add a build script for your crate (`build.rs`) and +also add this crate to your `Cargo.toml` via: + +```toml +[build-dependencies] +cc = "1.0" +``` + +Next up, you'll want to write a build script like so: + +```rust,no_run +// build.rs + +fn main() { + cc::Build::new() + .file("foo.c") + .file("bar.c") + .compile("foo"); +} +``` + +And that's it! Running `cargo build` should take care of the rest and your Rust +application will now have the C files `foo.c` and `bar.c` compiled into a file +named `libfoo.a`. If the C files contain + +```c +void foo_function(void) { ... } +``` + +and + +```c +int32_t bar_function(int32_t x) { ... } +``` + +you can call them from Rust by declaring them in +your Rust code like so: + +```rust,no_run +extern "C" { + fn foo_function(); + fn bar_function(x: i32) -> i32; +} + +pub fn call() { + unsafe { + foo_function(); + bar_function(42); + } +} + +fn main() { + // ... +} +``` + +See [the Rustonomicon](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/ffi.html) for more details. + +## External configuration via environment variables + +To control the programs and flags used for building, the builder can set a +number of different environment variables. + +* `CFLAGS` - a series of space separated flags passed to compilers. Note that + individual flags cannot currently contain spaces, so doing + something like: `-L=foo\ bar` is not possible. +* `CC` - the actual C compiler used. Note that this is used as an exact + executable name, so (for example) no extra flags can be passed inside + this variable, and the builder must ensure that there aren't any + trailing spaces. This compiler must understand the `-c` flag. For + certain `TARGET`s, it also is assumed to know about other flags (most + common is `-fPIC`). +* `AR` - the `ar` (archiver) executable to use to build the static library. +* `CRATE_CC_NO_DEFAULTS` - the default compiler flags may cause conflicts in + some cross compiling scenarios. Setting this variable + will disable the generation of default compiler + flags. +* `CXX...` - see [C++ Support](#c-support). + +Furthermore, projects using this crate may specify custom environment variables +to be inspected, for example via the `Build::try_flags_from_environment` +function. Consult the project’s own documentation or its use of the `cc` crate +for any additional variables it may use. + +Each of these variables can also be supplied with certain prefixes and suffixes, +in the following prioritized order: + +1. `<var>_<target>` - for example, `CC_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` +2. `<var>_<target_with_underscores>` - for example, `CC_x86_64_unknown_linux_gnu` +3. `<build-kind>_<var>` - for example, `HOST_CC` or `TARGET_CFLAGS` +4. `<var>` - a plain `CC`, `AR` as above. + +If none of these variables exist, cc-rs uses built-in defaults. + +In addition to the above optional environment variables, `cc-rs` has some +functions with hard requirements on some variables supplied by [cargo's +build-script driver][cargo] that it has the `TARGET`, `OUT_DIR`, `OPT_LEVEL`, +and `HOST` variables. + +[cargo]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html#inputs-to-the-build-script + +## Optional features + +### Parallel + +Currently cc-rs supports parallel compilation (think `make -jN`) but this +feature is turned off by default. To enable cc-rs to compile C/C++ in parallel, +you can change your dependency to: + +```toml +[build-dependencies] +cc = { version = "1.0", features = ["parallel"] } +``` + +By default cc-rs will limit parallelism to `$NUM_JOBS`, or if not present it +will limit it to the number of cpus on the machine. If you are using cargo, +use `-jN` option of `build`, `test` and `run` commands as `$NUM_JOBS` +is supplied by cargo. + +## Compile-time Requirements + +To work properly this crate needs access to a C compiler when the build script +is being run. This crate does not ship a C compiler with it. The compiler +required varies per platform, but there are three broad categories: + +* Unix platforms require `cc` to be the C compiler. This can be found by + installing cc/clang on Linux distributions and Xcode on macOS, for example. +* Windows platforms targeting MSVC (e.g. your target triple ends in `-msvc`) + require Visual Studio to be installed. `cc-rs` attempts to locate it, and + if it fails, `cl.exe` is expected to be available in `PATH`. This can be + set up by running the appropriate developer tools shell. +* Windows platforms targeting MinGW (e.g. your target triple ends in `-gnu`) + require `cc` to be available in `PATH`. We recommend the + [MinGW-w64](https://www.mingw-w64.org/) distribution, which is using the + [Win-builds](http://win-builds.org/) installation system. + You may also acquire it via + [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/), as explained [here][msys2-help]. Make sure + to install the appropriate architecture corresponding to your installation of + rustc. GCC from older [MinGW](http://www.mingw.org/) project is compatible + only with 32-bit rust compiler. + +[msys2-help]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust#building-on-windows + +## C++ support + +`cc-rs` supports C++ libraries compilation by using the `cpp` method on +`Build`: + +```rust,no_run +fn main() { + cc::Build::new() + .cpp(true) // Switch to C++ library compilation. + .file("foo.cpp") + .compile("foo"); +} +``` + +For C++ libraries, the `CXX` and `CXXFLAGS` environment variables are used instead of `CC` and `CFLAGS`. + +The C++ standard library may be linked to the crate target. By default it's `libc++` for macOS, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD, `libc++_shared` for Android, nothing for MSVC, and `libstdc++` for anything else. It can be changed in one of two ways: + +1. by using the `cpp_link_stdlib` method on `Build`: + ```rust,no-run + fn main() { + cc::Build::new() + .cpp(true) + .file("foo.cpp") + .cpp_link_stdlib("stdc++") // use libstdc++ + .compile("foo"); + } + ``` +2. by setting the `CXXSTDLIB` environment variable. + +In particular, for Android you may want to [use `c++_static` if you have at most one shared library](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cpp-support). + +Remember that C++ does name mangling so `extern "C"` might be required to enable Rust linker to find your functions. + +## CUDA C++ support + +`cc-rs` also supports compiling CUDA C++ libraries by using the `cuda` method +on `Build`: + +```rust,no_run +fn main() { + cc::Build::new() + // Switch to CUDA C++ library compilation using NVCC. + .cuda(true) + .cudart("static") + // Generate code for Maxwell (GTX 970, 980, 980 Ti, Titan X). + .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_52,code=sm_52") + // Generate code for Maxwell (Jetson TX1). + .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_53,code=sm_53") + // Generate code for Pascal (GTX 1070, 1080, 1080 Ti, Titan Xp). + .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_61,code=sm_61") + // Generate code for Pascal (Tesla P100). + .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_60,code=sm_60") + // Generate code for Pascal (Jetson TX2). + .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_62,code=sm_62") + // Generate code in parallel + .flag("-t0") + .file("bar.cu") + .compile("bar"); +} +``` + +## License + +This project is licensed under either of + + * Apache License, Version 2.0, ([LICENSE-APACHE](LICENSE-APACHE) or + https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) + * MIT license ([LICENSE-MIT](LICENSE-MIT) or + https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) + +at your option. + +### Contribution + +Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted +for inclusion in cc-rs by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be +dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions. |
