extern crate

链接一个 crate 到这个新库,必须使用 extern crate 声明。这不仅会链接库,还会导入与库名相同的模块里面的所有项。适用于模块的可见性规则也适用于库。

// 链接到 `library`(库),导入 `rary` 模块里面的项
extern crate rary;

fn main() {
    rary::public_function();

    // 报错! `private_function` 是私有的
    //rary::private_function();

    rary::indirect_access();
}
# library.rlib 是已编译好的库的路径,假设在这里它在同一目录下:
# (原文:Where library.rlib is the path to to the compiled library, 
# assumed that it's in the same directory here:)
$ rustc executable.rs --extern rary=library.rlib && ./executable
called rary's `public_function()`
called rary's `indirect_access()`, that
> called rary's `private_function()`
