Drew's core-foundation bindings for Rust

Provides Rust bindings for Apple Core Foundation. This crate may be compared to

• CoreFoundation-sys
• core-foundation-sys
• core-foundation
• RustKit

Similar to my other macOS libraries, this provides an elegant, performant, and largely safe wrapper for macOS low-level libraries.

Design notes:

• We use opaque types to model the underlying CFType (like __CFString, etc.) Then the equivalent to CFStringRef is &CFString, a pointer type.
• Some optimizations are not yet implemented. Among them, optimizations for static-time strings, inner pointers, zero-copy, etc.

Implementation status

• CFOptionFlags
• CFTypeID
• CFRange
• CFType
• CFAllocator

Strings

• CFString

Arrays

• CFArray

Pointers

• StrongCell

Data

• CFData

Dictionary

• CFDictionary

Error

• CFError

Property list

• MutabilityOptions
• Format
• CFPropertyList
