Rust Backend Manipulation Engine

Install

Install Rust, Cargo and cbindgen

Run

• Option 1: Terminal

  • cd to the repo
  • cargo install (first time only)
  • cargo build - build only
  • cargo run - build & run
  • cargo test - run utests
  • Important! after you've built your code as the above, you need to generate a corresponding .header file. run cbindgen --config cbindgen.toml src/lib.rs --crate target/release/libbackend_manipulator.a --output rust_artifacts/backend_manipulator.h

• Option 2: IDE CLion +Rust plugin (requires a license to Clion form Helpdesk)

  • configure a new Cargo build (if it is greyed out, just wait for the init to finish - it happens after installing CLion +Rust for the first ime)
  • on the command line add:
    • Run: run <path/to/your/test/file>
    • Build: build
    • Build with release binary: build --release (exec will be under target/release/rust)
    • Utest: "test" (a.k.a Cargo test)
  • Generate your .header as described in option 1

• Option 3: auto.sh script (mac/linux)

  • chmod +x ./auto.sh
  • ./auto.sh

Test Go code with your Rust artifacts

• After you built the code and generated your .header file, make sure both rust/target/release/libbackend_manipulator.a and backend_manipulator.h are copied to http_proxy/rust/rust_artifacts/ dir.
• Now your can run your go project via Golang as always.
