Artur Swiderski (Dec 01 2023 at 10:33): Artur Swiderski (Dec 01 2023 at 10:33):hi how to create "C" style library in Roc ?
Anton (Dec 01 2023 at 13:06):Do you mean C-style as in a .so or .a file?
Artur Swiderski (Dec 01 2023 at 14:12):yes, library I could possibly link with C app provided I add proper header on behalf of it
Artur Swiderski (Dec 01 2023 at 14:14):or maybe communicate via some other libraries
Anton (Dec 01 2023 at 14:45):I think @Brendan Hansknecht and @Luke Boswell have done this before.
Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 01 2023 at 15:10):--lib will give you a shared library. --no-link will give an object file.
Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 01 2023 at 15:11):As for communication. There is no glue for c currently, so must things would need to be done manually
Artur Swiderski (Dec 01 2023 at 15:48):@Brendan Hansknecht how to look inside to write proper header file for C?
Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 01 2023 at 15:52):I don't think there is a good answer currently for any language except rust. For non-rust languages, what can be done is looking at existing example platforms and asking questions here. There isn't a guide for platform dev yet.
