crabtw's bindgen repo has ceased to exist

[cillian64]

I cannot build current master because it depends on https://github.com/crabtw/rust-bindgen.git?rev=0433980286a5264e3d69214aa42e314c37238cf6. That repository has been deleted and the only crates.io release of rust-bindgen has been yanked.

To replicate this you would need to clear out your cargo crates registry and git checkouts or try to build on a clean install of cargo which does not have rust-bindgen cached.

The bindgen package by servo looks like a newer version of the same base, so I assume rsmpi needs porting to use this.

Yes, I am aware. Let me see if I can whip something up.

So, I got this working a few days (maybe weeks) ago, but never pushed those changes. In the meantime that version of the libbindgen crate (as it was called back then) has been yanked from crates.io. The current version of bindgen on crates.io again does not work for rsmpi (rust-lang/rust-bindgen#509). I will push a working version using libbindgen from the servo/rust-bindgen git repo into a branch for now.

I have added a branch bindgen-hack that can be built for now. Not all CI tests pass at the moment. I cannot reproduce the locally at the moment, will have a look at it later.

This branch seems to work correctly for me, thank-you!

The aforementioned bindgen bug has been fixed and they have a new release now. Is there anything else that's holding back this issue?

[bsteinb]

I have updated the bindgen-hack branch to use the current version of bindgen on crates.io. However I currently still have to work around this issue. I will hold back master until this is solved.

It does not look like the bindgen issue is getting fixed soon, so I have marked the workaround with FIXMEs and fast-forwarded the master branch to include these changes.
