Generating ergonomic C++ APIs using Rustdoc, procedural macros, and Serde
November 10 2024 - 13:00 (25 min )
How to integrate your new shiny Rust code into an existing codebase is a common problem. For this you might need to provide an API so that your Rust code can be accessed from the non-Rust side, for example from a C++ codebase. Rust only provides tools out of the box to define a low level C API, and even that can be troublesome. In this talk we want to demonstrate how you can use procedural macros, Rustdoc's unstable JSON format, and Serde to generate an idiomatic and ergonomic C++ API based on your existing Rust API.
