The documentation for the FFI seems focused on using C code in a program whose main() is in Rust. Can Rust be used for implementing a shared library that implements a C ABI for use by programs whose main() is not in Rust (i.e. the caller sees a C ABI and doesn't know about Rust)? If yes, can a C program use multiple such libraries so that their Rust runtime bits don't conflict? Is there a tool for generating .h files for C-callable Rust functions and their argument data types?
Yes, normally you can create a shared lib with Rust and extern the code with the C convention ( sorry, I don't remember the right name). and via this convention, you can use your Rust lib in Python/Ruby or an other languages.
