# rpsdk-mix-c-rs-zig
Mix C, Rust and Zig in a Raspberry Pico SDK (CMake) project.
Yeah.
## Usage
Don't.
Other than that,
### Add Rust code to your project
```cmake
set(RUST_TARGET thumbv6m-none-eabi)
set(RUST_CPU cortex-m0plus)
list(APPEND BINDGEN_CFLAGS "--use-core" "--rust-edition=2021")
list(APPEND RUST_CFLAGS "--edition=2021")
include(cmake/rust-obj.cmake)
add_rust_object(${PROJECT}
# rust top level module
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/rustcode.rs
# optional: path to header file to use for c2rs bindgen stuff (currently limited to one, sorry)
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/inc/clib.h
)
```
Bindgen and CBindgen are used automatically to generate C headers from the Rust
code, and vice versa.
### Add Zig code to your project
```cmake
set(ZIG_TARGET thumb-freestanding-gnueabi)
set(ZIG_CPU cortex_m0plus)
list(APPEND ZIG_CFLAGS "-ffunction-sections" "-fdata-sections")
include(cmake/zig-obj.cmake)
add_zig_object(${PROJECT}
# zig top level module
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/zigcode.zig
)
```
## Known issues and limitations
* Sometimes, compilation fails with `rustc` failing to copy an object file to
the destination path. Reason for this is unknown, just retrying the build
seems to work.
* References between Zig and Rust code aren't really possible automatically
(can't generate Rust via Bindgen from Zig-generated headers, or include
Bindgen-generated C headers in Zig code). This is because Zig can't generate
these headers without also compiling the code.
* Only one C header can be Bindgen'ed per Rust "root" module/crate (one crate
gets compiled into an object file and included in the main link).
