Trials to practice Rust code.

Curernt Status

Linking itself is working well.

• a1 --- Calling Rust function from C program works for simple signatures.
• a2 --- Spawning a new Rust task doesn't work. It crashes.
• a3 --- a2 with no println or printf! calling.

It seems to be better to use Rust as the driver program compiler, and linking any other C/C++ libraries into there.

• b1 --- Compiling a host program for iOS. Doesn't work. It needs cross-compiler, and the cross-compiler is not shipped with default Homebrew distribution.

• c1 --- Link Rust library into C and calls AppKit. This works. Do not run using Xcode. Just run all.bash. Take care your current directory must be c1. You can check print log by running the app in lldb.
