<p>These rules are for using <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen">Bindgen</a> to generate <a href="http://www.rust-lang.org/">Rust</a> bindings to C (and some C++) libraries.</p>

<p>To use the Rust bindgen rules, add the following to your <code>MODULE.bazel</code> file:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">bazel_dep(name = "rules_rust_bindgen", version = "{SEE_RELEASE_NOTES}")
</code></pre>
<p>rules_rust_bindgen does not automatically register a bindgen toolchain.
You need to register either your own or the default toolchain by adding the following to your <code>MODULE.bazel</code> file:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">register_toolchains("@rules_rust_bindgen//:default_bindgen_toolchain")
</code></pre>
<p>The default toolchain builds libclang from source via the <a href="https://registry.bazel.build/modules/llvm-project">llvm-project</a> bazel_dep.
<a href="https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/tree/main/examples/bindgen_toolchain">examples/bindgen_toolchain</a> shows how to use a prebuilt libclang.</p>
<p>Bindgen aims to be as hermetic as possible so will end up building <code>libclang</code> from <a href="https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project">llvm-project</a> from
source. If this is found to be undesirable, users should define their own repositories using something akin to
<a href="https://bazelbuild.github.io/rules_rust/crate_universe_bzlmod.html">crate_universe</a> and define their own toolchains following the instructions for
<a href="#rust_bindgen_toolchain">rust_bindgen_toolchain</a>.</p>
