This target is [being proposed][LINK] int he rust-lang/rust repository and this is intended to get coupled with that proposal. The definitions here all match the upstream reference-sysroot definitions and the functions all match the reference sysroot as well. The linkage here is described more in detail on the Rust PR itself, but in general it's similar to musl. Automatic verification has been implemented in the same manner as other targets, and it's been used locally to develop this PR and catch errors in the bindings already written (also to help match the evolving sysroot of wasi). The verification isn't hooked up to CI yet though because there is no wasi target distributed via rustup just yet, but once that's done I'll file a follow-up PR to execute verification on CI.

libc - Raw FFI bindings to platforms' system libraries
libc
provides all of the definitions necessary to easily interoperate with C
code (or "C-like" code) on each of the platforms that Rust supports. This
includes type definitions (e.g. c_int
), constants (e.g. EINVAL
) as well as
function headers (e.g. malloc
).
This crate exports all underlying platform types, functions, and constants under
the crate root, so all items are accessible as libc::foo
. The types and values
of all the exported APIs match the platform that libc is compiled for.
More detailed information about the design of this library can be found in its associated RFC.
Usage
Add the following to your Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
libc = "0.2"

Rust version support
The minimum supported Rust toolchain version is Rust 1.13.0 . APIs requiring newer Rust features are only available on newer Rust toolchains:
Feature | Version |
---|---|
union |
1.19.0 |
const mem::size_of |
1.24.0 |
repr(align) |
1.25.0 |
extra_traits |
1.25.0 |
core::ffi::c_void |
1.30.0 |
repr(packed(N)) |
1.33.0 |
Platform support
Platform-specific documentation (master branch).
See
ci/build.sh
for the platforms on which libc
is guaranteed to build for each Rust
toolchain. The test-matrix at Travis-CI, Appveyor, and Cirrus-CI show the
platforms in which libc
tests are run.
