Rust and C++
summary
Shows concrete interoperability patterns and real tradeoffs: use bindgen or cbindgen for header-driven bindings, use the cxx crate for zero-copy, idiomatic Rust↔C++ bridges, and use the cpp crate macro to inline C++ code that generates its own bindings. Demonstrates build recipes: Cargo build.rs with the cc or cmake crates, and CMake integration via Corrosion to drive Cargo. Claims nothing is fully automatic and documents the manual wrappers and safety caveats encountered.
