bindgen defaults to one `extern "C"` block per function, which gives 315
blocks for a header set that binds a single library. Ask for a merged one
instead.
bindgen spells the log callback's va_list parameter the way the host
that ran it does. The bindings are generated once and compiled
everywhere, so that spelling only happens to be right on the generating
host.
This was alright for most hosts but is fragile on aarch64 where va_list
is a plain 32 bytes struct.
Given we only forward the list to vsnprintf, extracting and simplifying
the cross-platform rust implementation from the unstable std-lib is
cheap and sound. We will just have to re-export the official type once
it's stablilized.
binding.rs generation with bindgen is optional.
By default, a pre-generated binding.rs is copied in OUT_DIR. This allows
for example to build on Windows and link against a standard VLC
installation.
Feature "use-bindgen" will trigger binding generation.
