rust: avoid assuming a particular bindgen build
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
`bindgen`'s logic to find `libclang` (via `clang-sys`) may change over
time, and depends on how it was built (e.g. Linux distributions may decide
to build it differently, and we are going to provide documentation on
installing it via distributions later in this series).

Therefore, clarify that `bindgen` may be built in several ways and
simplify the documentation by only mentioning the most prominent
environment variable (`LIBCLANG_PATH`) as an example on how to tweak the
search of the library at runtime (i.e. when `bindgen` is built as our
documentation explains). This also avoids duplicating the documentation,
like `bindgen` itself does (i.e. it refers to `clang-sys`).

Similarly, replace the test we had for this (which used the real program)
with a mocked one, to avoid depending on the particular build as well.

``bindgen`` needs to find a suitable ``libclang`` in order to work. If it is
not found (or a different ``libclang`` than the one found should be used),
the process can be tweaked using the environment variables understood by
``clang-sys`` (the Rust bindings crate that ``bindgen`` uses to access
``libclang``):

* ``LLVM_CONFIG_PATH`` can be pointed to an ``llvm-config`` executable.

* Or ``LIBCLANG_PATH`` can be pointed to a ``libclang`` shared library
or to the directory containing it.

* Or ``CLANG_PATH`` can be pointed to a ``clang`` executable.

For details, please see ``clang-sys``'s documentation at:
``bindgen`` uses the ``clang-sys`` crate to find a suitable ``libclang`` (which
may be linked statically, dynamically or loaded at runtime). By default, the
``cargo`` command above will produce a ``bindgen`` binary that will load
``libclang`` at runtime. If it is not found (or a different ``libclang`` than
the one found should be used), the process can be tweaked, e.g. by using the
``LIBCLANG_PATH`` environment variable. For details, please see ``clang-sys``'s
documentation at:
