Some of the type information in the machine context types, with particular focus on the padding unions, was not quite right. It seems we have used the somewhat baroque "long double" in the system headers, and Rust does not have a type that matches that data layout. I have adjusted the structs to omit that member, but to be explicitly aligned to match the C version. I also gagged a test for the "fp_reg_set" member which is of an anonymous union type.

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"
Features
-
std
: by defaultlibc
links to the standard library. Disable this feature to remove this dependency and be able to uselibc
in#![no_std]
crates. -
extra_traits
: allstruct
s implemented inlibc
areCopy
andClone
. This feature derivesDebug
,Eq
,Hash
, andPartialEq
. -
const-extern-fn
: Changes someextern fn
s intoconst extern fn
s. This feature requires a nightly rustc. -
deprecated:
use_std
is deprecated, and is equivalent tostd
.
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 |
cfg(target_vendor) |
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 GitHub Actions and Cirrus CI show the
platforms in which libc
tests are run.
