Yes, I understand what you're saying. I am saying that if you find yourself in that situation, don't use the Rust standard library. Your Rust programs can share glibc with your C programs just fine. This isn't a disqualifying situation for Rust. Heck, when you use the Rust standard library, dynamically linking to glibc is the norm!

maybe OP doen't know about #![no_std] !? You can not (as far as I know) have the Rust std lib as a dll, but you can chose to not use/include the std lib: https://web.mit.edu/rust-lang_v1.25/arch/amd64_ubuntu1404/sh...

Just FYI, these docs are very old. They’re for rust 1.25.0. Since rust is stable that means they’re still accurate, just not complete.

of course I knew no_std, it's for MCUs, similar to c++'s nostdlib, I'm comparing rust's stdlib to libstdc++ though, but the former is not shared-lib friendly to say the least.
