Calling C code from Rust is simple and exactly as efficient as calling C co Yes. The Rust code has to be exposed via an `extern` declaration, which makes it C-ABI compatible. Such a function can be passed to C code as a function pointer or, if given the `#[no_mangle]` attribute to disable symbol mangling, can be called directly from C code. -## Why aren't function signatures inferred? Why only local slots? +## Why aren't function signatures inferred? Why only local variables? * Mechanically, it simplifies the inference algorithm; inference only requires looking at one function at a time. * The same simplification goes double for human readers. A reader does not need an IDE running an inference algorithm across an entire crate to be able to guess at a function's argument types; it's always explicit and nearby. |
