Generate placeholder for .h implementation

[Yamakaky]

Use case: implement in Rust the functions defined in a .h. Currently I use bindgen + manual modifications (no_mangle, unimplemented!()).

You mean to generate a .h file from a rust file, right?

[emilio]

Ohh, ok, the other way around, I see

[emilio]

I think this should be sort of trivial once we have #429. We'd only have to change the code generation for functions after that.

Is there any update on this ? I need to implement a rust library based on a large C header and did not find an appropriate tool to generate those placeholders. For now, I'm doing it by hand, based on what bindgen normally outputs, and it's long... Does someone has a better solution ?

Triage note:

It has been long and the example url that is mentioned in the comment above is gone.

To get clarification -

• is this still needed?
• is it only about generating skeleton fns with unimplemented!?

We have not heard back in a while. I am closing this for now. Please reopen if this is needed again. Thank you.
