Corrode is a Haskell-based command-line tool that automatically translates C source code into semantically equivalent Rust source. It partially automates migrating legacy C codebases to Rust, with the expectation that developers clean up the output to adopt idiomatic and safe Rust.
Use cases
- translate a C source file to Rust
- migrate a legacy C codebase to Rust
- convert C project to Rust automatically
- semantics-preserving C to Rust conversion
- port old C libraries to Rust
- bootstrap Rust rewrite of C code
When to choose
- you have a large legacy C codebase and want to jumpstart a Rust migration
- you want a starting point for manual Rust rewriting rather than a from-scratch port
- you need semantics-preserving translation you can review and refine
When to avoid
- you expect fully automated, safe, idiomatic Rust output with no manual cleanup
- you need a maintained tool with recent releases or prebuilt binaries
- you want C++ translation rather than C
