Update hidapi-sys crate to 0.1.4
This change updates the hidapi-sys crate to version 0.1.4. In this
version the cc crate (the stable and renamed version of the gcc crate)
is used.

This crate calls out +to the most relevant compiler for a platform, for example using `cl` on MSVC. + +> **Note**: this crate was recently renamed from the `gcc` crate, so if you're +> looking for the `gcc` crate you're in the right spot! + +## Using cc-rs + +First, you'll want to both add a build script for your crate (`build.rs`) and +also add this crate to your `Cargo.toml` via: + +```toml +[build-dependencies] +cc = "1.0" +``` + +Next up, you'll want to write a build script like so: + +```rust,no_run +// build.rs + +extern crate cc; + +fn main() { + cc::Build::new() + .file("foo.c") + .file("bar.c") + .compile("foo"); +} +``` + +And that's it! Running `cargo build` should take care of the rest and your Rust +application will now have the C files `foo.c` and `bar.c` compiled into a file +named libfoo.a. You can call the functions in Rust by declaring functions in +your Rust code like so: + +``` +extern { + fn foo_function(); + fn bar_function(); +} + +pub fn call() { + unsafe { + foo_function(); + bar_function(); + } +} + +fn main() { + // ... +} +``` + +## External configuration via environment variables + +To control the programs and flags used for building, the builder can set a +number of different environment variables. + +* `CFLAGS` - a series of space separated flags passed to compilers. Note that + individual flags cannot currently contain spaces, so doing + something like: "-L=foo\ bar" is not possible. +* `CC` - the actual C compiler used. Note that this is used as an exact + executable name, so (for example) no extra flags can be passed inside + this variable, and the builder must ensure that there aren't any + trailing spaces. This compiler must understand the `-c` flag. For + certain `TARGET`s, it also is assumed to know about other flags (most + common is `-fPIC`). +* `AR` - the `ar` (archiver) executable to use to build the static library. + +Each of these variables can also be supplied with certain prefixes and suffixes, +in the following prioritized order: + +1. `<var>_<target>` - for example, `CC_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` +2. `<var>_<target_with_underscores>` - for example, `CC_x86_64_unknown_linux_gnu` +3. `<build-kind>_<var>` - for example, `HOST_CC` or `TARGET_CFLAGS` +4. `<var>` - a plain `CC`, `AR` as above. + +If none of these variables exist, cc-rs uses built-in defaults + +In addition to the the above optional environment variables, `cc-rs` has some +functions with hard requirements on some variables supplied by [cargo's +build-script driver][cargo] that it has the `TARGET`, `OUT_DIR`, `OPT_LEVEL`, +and `HOST` variables. + +[cargo]: http://doc.crates.io/build-script.html#inputs-to-the-build-script + +## Optional features + +### Parallel + +Currently cc-rs supports parallel compilation (think `make -jN`) but this +feature is turned off by default. To enable cc-rs to compile C/C++ in parallel, +you can change your dependency to: + +```toml +[build-dependencies] +cc = { version = "1.0", features = ["parallel"] } +``` + +By default cc-rs will limit parallelism to `$NUM_JOBS`, or if not present it +will limit it to the number of cpus on the machine. If you are using cargo, +use `-jN` option of `build`, `test` and `run` commands as `$NUM_JOBS` +is supplied by cargo. + +## Compile-time Requirements + +To work properly this crate needs access to a C compiler when the build script +is being run. This crate does not ship a C compiler with it. The compiler +required varies per platform, but there are three broad categories: + +* Unix platforms require `cc` to be the C compiler. This can be found by + installing cc/clang on Linux distributions and Xcode on OSX, for example. +* Windows platforms targeting MSVC (e.g. your target triple ends in `-msvc`) + require `cl.exe` to be available and in `PATH`. This is typically found in + standard Visual Studio installations and the `PATH` can be set up by running + the appropriate developer tools shell. +* Windows platforms targeting MinGW (e.g. your target triple ends in `-gnu`) + require `cc` to be available in `PATH`. We recommend the + [MinGW-w64](http://mingw-w64.org) distribution, which is using the + [Win-builds](http://win-builds.org) installation system. + You may also acquire it via + [MSYS2](http://msys2.github.io), as explained [here][msys2-help]. Make sure + to install the appropriate architecture corresponding to your installation of + rustc. GCC from older [MinGW](http://www.mingw.org) project is compatible + only with 32-bit rust compiler. + +[msys2-help]: http://github.com/rust-lang/rust#building-on-windows + +## C++ support + +`cc-rs` supports C++ libraries compilation by using the `cpp` method on +`Build`: + +```rust,no_run +extern crate cc; + +fn main() { + cc::Build::new() + .cpp(true) // Switch to C++ library compilation. + .file("foo.cpp") + .compile("libfoo.a"); +} +``` + +When using C++ library compilation switch, the `CXX` and `CXXFLAGS` env +variables are used instead of `CC` and `CFLAGS` and the C++ standard library is +linked to the crate target. + +## CUDA C++ support + +`cc-rs` also supports compiling CUDA C++ libraries by using the `cuda` method +on `Build` (currently for GNU/Clang toolchains only): + +```rust,no_run +extern crate cc; + +fn main() { + cc::Build::new() + // Switch to CUDA C++ library compilation using NVCC. + .cuda(true) + // Generate code for Maxwell (GTX 970, 980, 980 Ti, Titan X). + .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_52,code=sm_52") + // Generate code for Maxwell (Jetson TX1). + .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_53,code=sm_53") + // Generate code for Pascal (GTX 1070, 1080, 1080 Ti, Titan Xp). + .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_61,code=sm_61") + // Generate code for Pascal (Tesla P100). + .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_60,code=sm_60") + // Generate code for Pascal (Jetson TX2). + .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_62,code=sm_62") + .file("bar.cu") + .compile("libbar.a"); +} +``` + +## License + +This project is licensed under either of + + * Apache License, Version 2.0, ([LICENSE-APACHE](LICENSE-APACHE) or + http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) + * MIT license ([LICENSE-MIT](LICENSE-MIT) or + http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) + +at your option. + +### Contribution + +Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted +for inclusion in Serde by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be +dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions. |
