# Shared-Object-Library-Using-Rust

A sample project which creates a shared object (.so) library on linux using Rust programming language and calls it's function from another rust program.

-------------------

Shared Object (.so) File:- 

In simple words, a '.so' file on Linux is similar to a 'dll' on Windows. 

It is a shared library that is dynamically linked to the executable/binary, meaning it's not embedded inside the executable/binary like a static library (.a). Instead, the executable/binary contains references to the .so file, which is loaded into memory when the executable/binary is run and the library's functionality is referenced. This dynamic linking allows multiple executables/binaries to share the same library in memory, promoting efficient use of system resources.

------------------

For System Requirements please refer 'Application_Requirements.txt'

 

----------------------

How to run the project.

1. Clone the repository.

2. Navigate inside project folder 'addition_library' from terminal.

3. Build this Library project using following command -  

   cargo build

4. Navigate inside project folder 'addition_client' from terminal.  

5. Build and run this binary project using following commands -

   cargo build

   cargo run

   

------------------------

Application is tested on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS with WSL2 on Windows 10, working well.

Tested on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS using github actions, working well.
