rust: exposing in parsers module To build with the Rust code, set the HGWITHRUSTEXT environment variable. At this point, it's possible to instantiate and use a rustlazyancestors object from a Python interpreter. The changes in setup.py are obviously a quick hack, just good enough to test/bench without much refactoring. We'd be happy to improve on that with help from the community. Rust bindings crate gets compiled as a static library, which in turn gets linked within 'parsers.so' With respect to the plans at https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/OxidationPlan this would probably qualify as "roll our own FFI". Also, it doesn't quite meet the target of getting rid of C code, since it brings actually more, yet: - the new C code does nothing else than parsing arguments and calling Rust functions. In particular, there's no complex allocation involved. - subsequent changes could rewrite more of revlog.c, this time resulting in an overall decrease of C code and unsafety.
