Rust bindings to the C API of [`bdwgc`][bdwgc], the conservative garbage collector.

This crate builds [`bdwgc`][bdwgc] from its vendored source and links it statically. The bindings are generated from its headers at build time by [`bindgen`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen), which requires `libclang`.

See the [`bdwgc-alloc`](https://crates.io/crates/bdwgc-alloc) crate for a [`GlobalAlloc`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/alloc/trait.GlobalAlloc.html) implementation on top of these bindings.

## Install

```sh
cargo add bdwgc-alloc-sys
```

By default [`bdwgc`][bdwgc] is built with autotools. To build with cmake, enable the `cmake` feature:

```sh
cargo add bdwgc-alloc-sys --no-default-features --features cmake
```
