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
