Sessions
PackageCompiler.jl has become the de facto method for creating standalone Julia applications. In this talk, we will demonstrate the use of PackageCompiler.jl to produce shared library bundles. This functionality was added recently and allows the easy creation of location-independent dynamic libraries which can be linked to and called from C, C++, Rust, or other languages which can link to and use C libraries.
The ability to create shared library bundles was recently added to PackageCompiler.jl. In this talk, we will discuss the technical details of the implementation and give in-depth examples of using the resulting shared library bundles from C and Rust.
