Higher-level and more safe API
Hi!
Thanks for helpful library!
Are there any plans to implement more higher-level and safe API? I have kind of proposal but there are many details it lacks.
-
Plugin
trait which defines all the callbacks user should implement in two ways: low-level (raw) and high-level. The latter operates on more idiomatic Rust entities such as references, Rust structs, strings and numeric values while the former leaves all the raw details in place allowing to skip possibly slow conversions and defaults to calling 'high-level' methods. - One more macros which defines
extern "C"
functions along withstatic
declaration of user object which implementsPlugin
trait. Functions just deal with acquisition ofstatic
object and call methods on it. -
init
callback can be more elaborate - it can initialize callbacks to Janus Core which crate then will use to provide more high-level API for them (just regular public functions, no need to fetch globalPluginCallbacks
object and call functions there).
It's unclear to me how to wrap all Janus objects from outside in more convenient and safe way.
What do you think of this?
