Output:

Using NativeCall with Rust

This example will make use of a modified version of the 'advanced' routine from the Rust entry.

Add to the stock manifest file, Cargo.toml, all required dependencies and build target,

Now replace the src/lib.rs file with the following,

lib.rs

The needful shared library will be available after the build command,

Here is the main Raku program,

Output is the same.
