The versioning scheme

The versioning scheme of the rust bindings consists of the first two parts of the preCICE version and the additional version of the rust bindings.

Examples:

  • version 1 of the rust bindings for preCICE version 2.5 is 2.5.1
  • version 2.5.0 of the rust bindings are compatible will all bugfix releases of 2.5.

Prerequisites

Install cargo, pkg-config and preCICE. The rust bindings rely on pkg-config to locate preCICE.

Installation

The rust bindings for preCICE are published on crates.io with the package precice.

You can install the bindings directly from crates.io:

cargo add precice@3.0

Alternatively, you can install the bindings from the git repository:

cargo add --git https://github.com/precice/rust-bindings.git --rev v3.0.0 precice

Usage

The usage of the rust language bindings for preCICE is very similar to the C++ API. Therefore, please refer to our section on coupling your code for getting started. The main important differences are:

  • Import the crate use precice
  • Create a precice::Participant using precice::Participant::new()
  • The rust bindings follow rust naming scheme, so read_data instead of readData.
  • The bindings use slices for data [f64] and indices [i32] or [VertexID]
  • Refer to the rust version of the elastic tube 1D and the corresponding source code for a complete example of the precice crate.
