2021-02-06rust: Add a module wrapper for bindgenDylan Baker1-1/+49
This has a couple of advantages over rolling it by hand: 1. it correctly handles include_directories objects, which is always handy 2. it correctly generates a depfile for you, which makes it more reliable 3. it requires less typing

2021-01-05modules: Add an unstable-rust moduleDylan Baker1-0/+35
Like other language specific modules this module is module for holding rust specific helpers. This commit adds a test() function, which simplifies using rust's internal unittest mechanism. Rust tests are generally placed in the same code files as they are testing, in contrast to languages like C/C++ and python which generally place the tests in separate translation units. For meson this is somewhat problematic from a repetition point of view, as the only changes are generally adding --test, and possibly some dependencies. The rustmod.test() method provides a mechanism to remove the repatition: it takes a rust target, copies it, and then addes the `--test` option, then creates a Test() target with the `rust` protocol. You can pass additional dependencies via the `dependencies` keyword. This all makes for a nice, DRY, test definition.
