rust: enable bindgen's --enable-function-attribute-detection flag
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
`bindgen` is able to detect certain function attributes and annotate
functions correspondingly in its output for the Rust side, when the
`--enable-function-attribute-detection` is passed.

In particular, it is currently able to use `__must_check` in C
(`#[must_use]` in Rust), which give us a bunch of annotations that are
nice to have to prevent possible issues in Rust abstractions, e.g.:

     extern "C" {
    +    #[must_use]
         pub fn kobject_add(
             kobj: *mut kobject,
             parent: *mut kobject,
             fmt: *const core::ffi::c_char,
             ...
         ) -> core::ffi::c_int;
     }

Apparently, there are edge cases where this can make generation very slow,
which is why it is behind a flag [1], but it does not seem to affect us
in any major way at the moment.

Thus enable it.
