[lldb-dev] Announce: Rust bindings for the LLDB public API

[Bruce Mitchener via lldb-dev]

Hello all,

I've been working on Rust bindings for the LLDB API and they're coming
along pretty well. They aren't complete yet, but they're getting close:

https://github.com/endoli/lldb.rs/

The documentation for these bindings can be found at
https://endoli.github.io/lldb.rs/

I need to write more documentation, hook up more safe bindings for things
like events, values and a few other things.  Some very basic things already
work though.

These are using the C code / API that was submitted in a pull request in
April of 2015 and subsequently seems to have been abandoned.

My goal here is to have a very clean binding of the C++ API, but with some
modifications to make it more idiomatic Rust in places.  Examples of this
are returning Option types instead of requiring that the caller check
IsValid, as well as Result types when there might be an SBError.

This is being done to power some of my other projects, but I'm willing to
support this for others should the need arise and I'd love to see more
people using this than just me. I've also got a Patreon (
https://patreon.com/endoli/) if anyone feels like helping to support this
work in that way.

I'm also happy to discuss any aspects of this work here or elsewhere.

Cheers,

 - Bruce
