<h1 id="rust-rules"><a class="header" href="#rust-rules">Rust rules</a></h1>
<p>The core Rust rules for building and testing libraries, binaries, and procedural
macros. Each rule is documented on its own page; this page is an overview of what
each rule does and when to use it.</p>
<p>All rules are loadable from <code>@rules_rust//rust:defs.bzl</code> or from their individual
<code>.bzl</code> file (e.g. <code>@rules_rust//rust:rust_binary.bzl</code>). Loading from the
individual file is preferred for new code.</p>
<h2 id="core-rules"><a class="header" href="#core-rules">Core rules</a></h2>
<p>The rules below are the primary entry points for compiling Rust code. They map
directly to the crate types Cargo produces.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="./rust_binary.html">rust_binary</a> — Build a Rust executable (<code>--crate-type=bin</code>).</li>
<li><a href="./rust_library.html">rust_library</a> — Build an <code>rlib</code> (<code>--crate-type=lib</code>) that
other Rust targets can depend on.</li>
<li><a href="./rust_static_library.html">rust_static_library</a> — Build a <code>staticlib</code>
(<code>--crate-type=staticlib</code>) for linking Rust code into a C/C++ binary.</li>
<li><a href="./rust_cdylib_library.html">rust_cdylib_library</a> — Build a <code>cdylib</code>
(<code>--crate-type=cdylib</code>) for use as a shared library from C/C++ or other
languages.</li>
<li><a href="./rust_dylib_library.html">rust_dylib_library</a> — Build a <code>dylib</code>
(<code>--crate-type=dylib</code>) for use as a shared library with the unstable Rust ABI.</li>
<li><a href="./rust_shared_library.html">rust_shared_library</a> — Convenience alias over
<code>rust_cdylib_library</code>.</li>
<li><a href="./rust_proc_macro.html">rust_proc_macro</a> — Build a procedural macro crate
(<code>--crate-type=proc-macro</code>) that other Rust targets can consume as a compile-time
plugin.</li>
<li><a href="./rust_test.html">rust_test</a> — Compile and run a Rust test binary. Can wrap a
<code>rust_library</code>/<code>rust_binary</code> (via <code>crate = ...</code>) to run its inline <code>#[test]</code>s,
or compile a standalone test binary from its own <code>srcs</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="additional-rules"><a class="header" href="#additional-rules">Additional rules</a></h2>
<p>Non-core rules that ship in the same ruleset:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="./rust_library_group.html">rust_library_group</a> — Group several <code>rust_library</code>
targets so they can be depended on as a single unit without generating an
intermediate <code>rlib</code>.</li>
<li><a href="./rust_lint_config.html">rust_lint_config</a> — Declare a reusable set of <code>rustc</code>,
<code>clippy</code>, and <code>rustdoc</code> lint levels that can be attached to other rules via
their <code>lint_config</code> attribute.</li>
<li><a href="./rust_test_suite.html">rust_test_suite</a> — Convenience macro that expands into
one <code>rust_test</code> per source file, sharing a common set of dependencies. Useful
for <code>tests/**.rs</code> layouts that mirror Cargo's integration-test directory.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="related-pages"><a class="header" href="#related-pages">Related pages</a></h2>
<p>Rules that layer on top of the core rules live on their own pages:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="./rustdoc.html">rustdoc</a> — Generate and test Rust documentation.</li>
<li><a href="./clippy.html">clippy</a> — Run <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy">Clippy</a>
over Rust targets.</li>
<li><a href="./rustfmt.html">rustfmt</a> — Run <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt">rustfmt</a>
over Rust targets.</li>
<li><a href="./unpretty.html">unpretty</a> — Emit <code>rustc -Zunpretty=...</code> output for a crate.</li>
<li><a href="./cargo.html">cargo</a><code>cargo_build_script</code> and related Cargo-compatibility rules.</li>
<li><a href="./rust_analyzer.html">rust_analyzer</a> — Generate a <code>rust-project.json</code> file for
the <a href="https://rust-analyzer.github.io">rust-analyzer</a> IDE server.</li>
<li><a href="./rust_toolchains.html">Rust Toolchains</a> — Declare and register Rust toolchains.</li>
