What is the workflow for implementing ERTS NIFs in Zig?

What is the workflow for implementing ERTS NIFs in Zig?

Is there something comparable to Rustler for NIFs authored in Rust?

Solution

  • The Zigler package can be used: https://github.com/ityonemo/zigler, https://hex.pm/packages/zigler

    defmodule ExampleZig do
  use Zig
  ~Z"""
  /// nif: example_fun/2
  fn example_fun(value1: f64, value2: f64) bool {
    return value1 > value2;
  }
  """
end

test "example nifs" do
  assert ExampleZig.example_fun(0.8, -0.8)
  refute ExampleZig.example_fun(0.1, 0.4)
end
