Disable Crubit on grpc and targets that disable header parsing. This allows Crubit to work on targets that depend on grpc, as long as they do not transitively include the headers. So, that's a workaround, at least. This is not "strictly correct": a target might disable header parsing because it has a bad header in `srcs`, which isn't relevant to Crubit which only reads `hdrs`. However, it's almost certainly (also) broken in `srcs`. If ever we need to enable Crubit on a target that has a broken srcs header, but not a broken. As far as grpc itself goes, we just don't correctly handle those headers right now. If grpc shows up anywhere in the transitive dependency graph, it breaks Crubit. That's a problem, and this works around that by disabling Crubit. (Similarly for openssl.) In the longer term, we should not have the grpc denylist, and I've filed b/349750606 and b/349750659 to track some of this work.

NOTE: Crubit currently expects deep integration with the build system, and is difficult to deploy to environments dissimilar to Google's monorepo. We do not have our tooling set up to accept external contributions at this time.
Crubit is a bidirectional bindings generator for C++ and Rust, with the goal of integrating the C++ and Rust ecosystems.
Support for calling FFI-friendly C++ from Rust is in progress.
Support for calling Rust from C++ will arrive in 2024H2.
Consider the following C++ function:
extern "C" bool IsGreater(int lhs, int rhs);
This function, if present in a header file which is processed by Crubit, becomes callable from Rust as if it were defined as:
pub fn IsGreater(lhs: ffi::c_int, rhs: ffi::c_int) -> bool {...}
Note: There are some temporary restrictions on the API shape. For example, functions that are not extern "C"
, or that accept a type like std::string
, can't be called from Rust directly via Crubit. These restrictions will be relaxed over time.
Here are some resources for getting started with Crubit:
Rust Bindings for C++ Libraries is a detailed walkthrough on how to use C++ from Rust using Crubit.
The examples/cpp/
directory has copy-pastable examples of calling C++ from Rust, together with snapshots of what the generated Rust interface looks like.
