erlang_nif-sys

This repo is no longer in use. This code is now maintained as part of the main [rustler]!(github.com/rusterlium/rustler) repo.

A crate for creating Erlang NIF modules in Rust. This crate exposes the raw C NIF API which can be used directly or as a foundation for higher layer interface crates. Supported under Unix and Windows.

See the crate documention.

See examples of use:

rust.mk for a sample Rust NIF module.
rebar3_rust a rebar3 plugin inspired by rust.mk that helps integrate Rust code inside Erlang projects.
Rustler
rustfromerl a demo project showing performance differences between Erlang code and a simmilar Rust NIF implementation.

Thanks go to Radosław Szymczyszyn for bootstrapping me on this Rust FFI adventure and providing the original automatic bindings.
