Apparently this was done intentionally. The rationale given is that we don't want to allow non-safe C to be used in fil-C programs. Fair enough.
But why should we prevent fil-C programs to be used from Rust (or C, for that matter)?
I don't understand much about compilers, but I guess allowing one would also allow the other? i.e. it's not possible to make fil-C ABI compatible with C (so that it can be more easily called), while also not letting you use call C from it?
Yes and AFAIK any fil-C program needs to be linked against fil-C compiled libraries, such as libc/musl/etc. I too would like to know what other challenges exist in making this process more automated.
Increment the "fell for fil-C propaganda" counter.
This article fully concede's Filip's categorically incorrect definitions regarding memory safety, accepting them as true.
I don't want extern "fil-C", it legitimises Filip's bad-faith trolling and hypocrisy as an acceptable way to operate a software project, and makes rust dependent on his single ISA single OS fork of clang which is actually just granular ASAN with atomic instrumentation code and a garbage collector, fluffed up with fil's marketing terminology "invisicaps" etc.
