How do I let my assembler is used by RUSTC?

1

Hello, everyone.
Recently I was writing an assembler and trying to assemble it into a statically linked library. I would like to ask how to ask RUSTC compiler or CARGO to link to a static link library? This will allow me to use my assembler in RUST.

you need a build script in order to link to native libraries. for example, suppose the library is named libfoo.a, your build script should look like this:

// build.rs
fn main() {
    // link to static library `foo`
    println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=static=foo");
    // if the library file is not in a standard directory, you also need
    println!("cargo:rustc-link-search=native=/path/to/directory/of/the/library");
}

see the cargo book:
