Using C enums in Rust
If you try to use an enum
in an extern
C function declaration you'll get a warning:
found
enum
type without foreign-function-safe representation annotation in foreign module,#[warn(ctypes)]
on by default
What Rust is trying to say is that C and Rust may use different integer sizes for the enum
, so you need to tell Rust to use size same as C. You do that with #[repr(C)]
annotation:
#[repr(C)]
enum Foo {
BAR, BAZ, QUZ,
}
