cassandra-cpp-sys
This is a maintained Rust project that provides a low-level binding of the
DataStax cpp driver at https://github.com/datastax/cpp-driver/ .
It is mostly autogenerated.
It was originally a fork of https://github.com/tupshin/cassandra-sys-rs/ but that is no longer maintained.
This project also includes a fairly complete set of examples equivalent to the ones in the C++ repository.
It is quite possible to use this crate directly from your Rust code, but it will mean littering unsafe all over the place.
Instead it is recommended that you use the safe wrapper of this interface: cassandra-cpp.
Getting started
For the wrapper to work, you must first have installed the datastax-cpp driver.
Follow the steps in the
cpp driver docs
to do so. Pre-built packages are available for most platforms.
Make sure that the driver (specifically libcassandra_static.a and libcassandra.so) are in your /usr/local/lib64/ directory.
You can use this crate from cargo with

Contributing

to this project.
Compilation
You must have the DataStax driver installed on your system in order to build this crate.
By default, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib64, and /usr/local/lib are added to the linker search path.
A semicolon separated list of additional directories to add to the linker search path may be specified through the CASSANDRA_SYS_LIB_PATH environment variable.
Autogeneration
The file cassandra.rs is autogenerated as follows:
$ bindgen --no-layout-tests --blacklist-type=max_align_t --rustified-enum=.* --output=src/cassandra.rs cassandra.h
The autogenerated code is formatted with rustfmt.
History
This project was forked from cassandra-sys, which was no longer being maintained.
