## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

cbindgen is a Mozilla-hosted Rust developer tool that generates C, C++11, and Cython headers for Rust crates exposing a public C API.

### Projektgeschichte

The public Mozilla repository was created in 2017. The official user guide says cbindgen developed largely ad hoc as maintainers added features for their own use cases, with attention to matching Rust's actual layout and ABI guarantees.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

The README lists production users and examples including WebRender, Stylo, maturin, tquic, and metatensor. The supplied package facts show broad packaging across Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Alpine, and MacPorts.

### Wie es verwendet wird

cbindgen can be run as a standalone CLI or called from a Rust `build.rs`. The quick start requires a Rust crate with a public C API and a `cbindgen.toml` configuration, then emits headers with commands such as `cbindgen --config cbindgen.toml --crate my_rust_library --output my_header.h`.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

cbindgen sits at a practical packaging boundary: it lets Rust libraries ship C-family headers generated from the Rust source of truth. That makes it important for distributions carrying mixed Rust/C/C++ stacks, especially projects that expose stable FFI surfaces.

### Zeitleiste

- 2017: Public GitHub repository created under Mozilla.
- 2025: 0.28.0 and 0.29.0 releases published on GitHub.
- 2026: 0.29.4 release published on GitHub.

### Related projects

- The README points to production or ecosystem users including WebRender, Stylo, maturin, tquic, and metatensor, and the API documentation is published on docs.rs.
