We have a cross-platform proprietary C++ library as our core technology that targets multiple platforms including Android, Linux, and Windows, and various game engines including Unreal Engine. On Windows, we use MSVC, on Android the Android NDK, and on Linux, we use Epic's Native Toolchain in order to support various Linux distributions. Even, for our non-Unreal builds as it provides us with a reliable approach to target as many distributions as possible without worrying about glibc compatibility.
From the documentation:
Unreal Engine's setup shell script (
Setup.sh) automatically downloads a native toolchain, which guarantees your compiler and linker to work with our codebase. With the native toolchain, you compile against a fixed sysroot (glibcat the very least), so that, for example, if you compile a game on Ubuntu 18.04, you will be able to start the binary on CentOS 7.
Now, we have been evaluating Rust for a while as it's going to address some of the challenges we face. However, we decided to gradually move components of our current C++ implementation to Rust. Now, considering that and the requirement for interoperability with Unreal's C++ we have no other way other than building our Rust codebase with the Unreal Toolchain compatibility in mind on Linux (x86-64 and AArch64 targets).
Now, simply adding the following to .cargo/config is not going to cut it:
[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
ar = "../toolchains/linux-v20/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/llvm-ar"
linker = "../toolchains/linux-v20/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/clang++"
[target.aarch64-unknown-linux-gnueabi]
ar = "../toolchains/linux-v20/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/llvm-ar"
linker = "../toolchains/linux-v20/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/clang++"
And, since the documentation is sparse, we are not sure how we can target multiple Epic Toolchain versions, e.g. v20, v21, and v22 in the same build (if even possible). Using CMake toolchain files we can easily achieve that in C++.
This is the error we get:
cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Compiling libc v0.2.149
error: linking with `/path/to/foo/project/toolchains/linux-v20/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/clang++` failed: exit status: 1

clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
error: could not compile `libc` (build script) due to previous error
We have also tried to mess around with Cargo JSON targets but the source code does not show any options to specify the various options we have with CMake (later on this one).
We tried Xargo, cargo-build, and also github/japaric/rust-cross (the forum software does not allow more than two links :/) without any luck as it seems there is no easy way to have better control over the C/C++ compiler.
What do I mean by that? Let me provide the relevant portion of a CMake example toolchain in order to be able to target the Unreal Native Toolchain:

As you can see there are lots of options that need to be enabled/disabled in order to be able to target Unreal (e.g. -fuse-ld=lld -nodefaultlibs -lc -lc++ -lc++abi -lm -m64 -stdlib=libc++ for the linker flags and -fcxx-exceptions -fexceptions -frtti -nostdinc -nostdinc++ -isystem for the CXX flags, etc; some other hacks like -nostdinc -nostdinc++ for older versions are necessary; also CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE is necessary which I think is enabled by default in Rust).
So, I'm not even sure if such a thing is even possible with the current version of Rust and Cargo. This is a show-stopper for us in using Rust if we cannot link to the libc++ and glibc from the toolchain provided by Epic.
I'd appreciate any kind of help/direction I could get on this.
