Transcript
Rust meets Mobile Keith Smiley (he/him) Principal Engineer, Lyft @SmileyKeith
Sharing code on mobile
Why rust?
Rust + bazel
rust_library( name = "foo", srcs = ["foo.rs"], ) swift_library( name
= "main", srcs = ["main.swift"], deps = [":foo"], ) ios_application(...) Shouldn't this work?
--platforms=//:ios_arm64
bazel#7260
platform_mappings
flags: --cpu=arm64-v8a --crosstool_top=//external:android/crosstool //:android_aarch64 --cpu=ios_arm64 --apple_platform_type=ios //:ios_arm64 ...
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64: "___rust_alloc", referenced from: ... "___rust_alloc_error_handler",
referenced from: ... ... rules_rust#1238 / rust#73632
Who does the linking?
How do I use it?
#[no_mangle] pub extern fn print_something_from_rust() { println!("Ferris says hello!"); }
#[no_mangle] pub extern fn get_a_value_from_rust() -> i32 { 42 } extern void print_something_from_rust(void); extern int32_t get_a_value_from_rust(void);
#[no_mangle] pub extern "system" fn Java_com_example_androidapp_JniShim_getValue() -> i32 { get_a_value_from_rust()
} package com.example.androidapp; public class JniShim { public static native int getValue(); }
