KDB bindings for Rust.
These bindings enable Rust to be used as inside Q to add additional functionality. More generally they also enable Rust to communicate with KDB in a memory-safe way.
For an example of how to embed Rust code within Q, see demos/embed.
For an example of how to perform IPC between Rust and Q, see demos/ipc.
To use this library for IPC, you will first need to
compile a static library from the kx-supplied object file c.o using ar.
The static library should be placed in src/c/libkdb.a.
ar rcs libkdb.a c.o
mv libkdb.so src/c
c.o can be found here.
This is only tested with 64bit Linux (and 64bit Rust/Q). I sincerely doubt that it would work with Windows or OSX.
It uses unstable features so requires rust-nightly.
