In Rust, I see that `BufferData` is reference-counted in `Buffer`, so for _exporting_ it should be able to follow the same principles as C++. I would suggest you start with that: implement only exporting, start with primitive types. Exercise using Python tests to import the data (e.g. `Array._import_from_c`), and check lifetime handling. For importing, it seems `BufferData` may have to define a custom destructor function, or an optional external owner. I'm not a Rust developer, so I can't advise on that :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
