Description
The ffi interface in the snappy examples doesn't match the c-library types in snappy-c.h.
Should the ffi interface use libc::c_char
instead of u8
https://github.com/google/snappy/blob/main/snappy-c.h#L71
snappy_status snappy_compress(const char* input,
size_t input_length,
char* compressed,
size_t* compressed_length);
example here
https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/ffi.html#calling-foreign-functions
fn snappy_compress(input: *const u8,
input_length: size_t,
compressed: *mut u8,
compressed_length: *mut size_t) -> c_int;
Would it be clearer to have these function definition match then cast the pointer inside the rust function.
