[PATCH v2 07/18] build: introduce rust

From
Ezekiel Newren via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Sep 17, 2025, 01:16 UTC
Message-ID
<6032a8740c0ba72420f42c3d8d801e1bdeec12d0.1758071798.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.2043.v2.git.git.1758071798.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Ezekiel Newren <ezekielnewren@gmail.com>

Upcoming patches will simplify xdiff, while also porting parts of it to Rust. In preparation, add some stubs and setup the Rust build. For now, it is easier to let cargo build rust and have make or meson merely link against the static library that cargo builds. In line with ongoing libification efforts, use multiple crates to allow more modularity on the Rust side. The xdiff and ivec crates are the focal point for this series.

cbindgen will be used to generate header files for each Rust crate for C interoperability.
