What a binding declares about the C library it calls.
A CLibrary constant names a library once; each @extern that comes from it
names the constant (@extern(RAYLIB, "InitWindow")). The compiler evaluates
the constant when it builds, so its fields may depend on the target through
VADER_OS and VADER_ARCH.
Types
CLibrary :: structA C library that @extern declarations come from.
A native build adds what it lists to the compilation and the link, and only
when one of the library's functions is reached. The interpreter opens it by
name, or, when it ships archives, calls it through adapters compiled with
them.
Fields
name: string What the interpreter opens: lib<name>.dylib, lib<name>.so or
<name>.dll, and what its adapters link when there are no archives. A
native build links what archives and system list.
header: string = "" The header declaring the library's functions, written as @c_header
writes it. It serves every @extern naming the library without a
@c_header of its own.
include: string = "" A folder of headers, relative to the module declaring the constant: the
compilation searches it (-I).
archives: string[] = [] Static archives shipped with the binding, relative to the module declaring the constant.
system: string[] = [] What the platform provides: a library by name ("GL" links -lGL), or an
Apple framework by its bundle name ("Cocoa.framework").
