Really excited to see Remacs exploring bindgen as an option! https://github.com/Wilfred/remacs/pull/486/ The C parts of Emacs use a ton of C features, so it's shaking out several bugs in bindgen itself.

This saves us most of the work of finding the declarations of C types and functions and converting them into Rust. As the C side of Remacs shrinks, the generated bindings will shrink.

Ever wondered what the (interactive) function does at the C level of Emacs? It's just been ported in Remacs! https://github.com/Wilfred/remacs/pull/1022/files

It's easy to use lots of different versions of Rust nightly. Remacs requires a specific version. The https://autogen.sh/ scripts are admirably defensive, to help you get on the right version!
