Safe interop between Rust and C++
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:2 reviews, 3 commits, 6 PRs in 1 day
Contributions summary:Cameron contributed to the `dtolnay/cxx` repository, which focuses on safe interop between Rust and C++. Their work primarily involved addressing compiler warnings and adding core functionality to support this interop. Specifically, they fixed a warning related to struct and class mismatches and implemented `swap` members and ADL functions for key C++ types used by the library. They also added a `new` function for `CxxVector` to create an empty vector.
