blazesym-c provides C language bindings for the blazesym library.
blazesym-c requires a standard Rust toolchain and can be built using
the Cargo project manager (e.g., cargo build).
The build will produce libblazesym_c.a as well as libblazesym_c.so in
the respective target folder (e.g., <project-root>/target/debug/).
In your C programs include blazesym.h (provided as part
of the crate) from your source code and then link against the static or
shared library, respectively. When linking statically, you may also need
to link:
-lrt -ldl -lpthread -lm
An example of usage of the C API is in available in libbpf-bootstrap: https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf-bootstrap/blob/master/examples/c/profile.c
This example periodically samples the running process of every processor in a system and prints their stack traces.
A detailed documentation of the C API
is available as part of the Rust documentation or can be generated locally from
the current repository snapshot using cargo doc.
