Is it possible to include into the one crate as Rust as C code?
Yes it is possible. There's no explicit support for it but native
modules may refer to static libraries and it's relatively easy to link
arbitrary static libraries into a crate. rust-azure[1] does this so it
doesn't have to worry about keeping track of a native dynamic library.
It's not quite ergonomic right now but rust-azure does it by including
the following hack (in test.rs of all places):
#[link_args = "-L. -lcairo -lazure"]
#[nolink]
native mod m { }
The native mod is just a place to tack on the extra link args, `-L` adds
to the library search path, `-lcairo` is a system-installed dependency
of azure, and `-lazure` is the static library that is linked into the
crate. There are a few[2] upcoming changes[3] that will make
this eaisier in the future.
