Create static C-compatible strings from Rust string literals. Example ------- ```rust #[macro_use] extern crate const_cstr; extern crate libc; use std::ffi::CStr; const_cstr! { HELLO_CSTR = "Hello, world!"; // Multiple declarations can be made with one invocation. // GOODNIGHT_CSTR = "Goodnight, sun!"; // But only with the same visibility: // pub GOODNIGHT_CSTR = "Goodnight, sun!"; // ^~~ Error: expected identifier, found `pub` } // Imagine this is an `extern "C"` function linked from some other lib. unsafe fn print_c_string(cstr: *const libc::c_char) { println!("{}", CStr::from_ptr(cstr).to_str().unwrap()); } fn main() { // When just passed a literal, returns an rvalue instead. let goodnight_cstr = const_cstr!("Goodnight, sun!"); unsafe { print_c_string(HELLO_CSTR.as_ptr()); print_c_string(goodnight_cstr.as_ptr()); } } ``` Prints: ```notest Hello, world! Goodnight, sun! ```
