Abstract

Full rewrite from C++ to Rust or gradual integration with Rust libraries? For a large C++ codebase, only the latter works, but even then, there are many complications and rough edges. In my presentation, I will describe our experience integrating Rust and C++ code and some weird and unusual problems we had to overcome.
