Seems rather limited: only targeting some high level languages. Now, if this could also generate C++ bindings i would be very interested.

Hmm, but Rust has native generation of C bindings. Is there a big difference with C++-specific bindings?

[–] snaggen@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you refer to bindgen it also supports C++, and since Mozilla who was the main driver of rust uses C++ I assume the bindgen for that is pretty good.

Ah, thanks. I did not know that, but I figured, if C++-specific bindings make sense, then Mozilla would have built something for that, before working on UniFFI.
