DCV Color Primitives
DCV Color Primitives Library
DCV Color Primitives is a library to perform image color model conversion. Aware of the underlying hardware and supplemental cpu extension sets (up to avx2). Support data coming from a single buffer or coming from multiple image planes. Support non-tightly packed data. Support images greater than 4GB (64 bit). Convert an image from bgra to nv12 (single plane) format containing yuv in BT601. You might want to propagate errors to the caller function or mix with some other error types. So far, buffers were sized taking into account the image pixel format and dimensions; However, you can use a function to compute how many bytes are needed to store an image of a given format and size. If your data is scattered in multiple buffers that are not necessarily contiguous, you can provide image planes. To take into account data which is not tightly packed, you can provide image strides. -

Rust-Lightning
Bitcoin Lightning library written in Rust
Rust-Lightning is a Bitcoin Lightning library written in Rust. The main crate, lightning, does not handle networking, persistence, or any other I/O. Thus, it is runtime-agnostic, but users must implement basic networking logic, chain interactions, and disk storage. The project implements all of the BOLT specifications in the 1.0 spec. The implementation has pretty good test coverage that is expected to continue to improve. It is also anticipated that as developers begin using the API, the lessons from that will result in changes to the API, so any developer using this API at this stage should be prepared to embrace that. LDK/Rust-Lightning is a generic library which allows you to build a lightning node without needing to worry about getting all of the lightning state machine, routing, and on-chain punishment code (and other chain interactions) exactly correct. Note that Rust-Lightning isn't, in itself, a node. -

Anyhow
Flexible concrete Error type built on std::error::Error
This is a Rust library (crate) that provides a flexible, concrete error type built atop the standard std::error::Error trait. Its primary goal is to make error handling in applications easy: instead of defining lots of custom error types, you can use anyhow::Error (or the alias anyhow::Result<T>) for fallible functions. The crate supports attaching context to errors, so you can convert a low-level error (like “file not found”) into one with richer diagnostics (“Failed to read instructions from path X”) using .context() or .with_context(). It supports downcasting (so you can inspect the underlying error type), and for recent versions of Rust, it will capture backtraces by default when the underlying error type doesn’t already. It also supports no_std mode (in limited form) by disabling default features. The README distinguishes it from library-oriented error crates (like thiserror): use anyhow when you just care about application-level error handling, not fine-grained types. -

CXX
Safe interop between Rust and C++
CXX is a library that offers safe interop between Rust and C++. It provides a safe mechanism for calling C++ code from Rust and vice versa, one that is protected from the many possible things that can go wrong when bindgen or cbindgen is used to generate unsafe C-style bindings. The general idea of CXX is to define the signatures of both sides of the FFI boundary embedded together in one Rust module. CXX gets a complete picture from this of the boundary, and through it is able to perform static analyses against the types and function signatures, ensuring that both Rust's and C++'s invariants and requirements are upheld. CXX then emits the relevant extern "C" signatures on both sides through a pair of code generators. This is done together with any necessary static assertions needed for later in the build process to verify correctness. The result is an FFI bridge that operates at zero or negligible overhead, with no copying, serialization or memory allocation needed. -

Parser for Rust source code
Parser for Rust source code
Parser for Rust source code is a major Rust crate for parsing Rust source code (token streams) into a syntax tree (AST) that procedural macros can inspect or transform. The primary target is macro authors: you can parse TokenStreams into syn::File, syn::Item, syn::Expr, syn::Type, etc. It offers rich data structures, fine-grained parsing, span tracking (for error reporting), traversal and mutation APIs (visit, fold, visit_mut), printing back to tokens, and strong feature-gating so you only compile what you need. The documentation emphasises that while the crate is geared for procedural macros (and custom derives), some of the APIs may be of more general use. Using syn you can effectively write code that analyzes or generates Rust code at compile time. -
