    I would recommend reading up some materials on FFI in Rust if you’re interested. Calling functions in Rust from C and in C from Rust (or even languages other than C) is both extremely common and a primary usecase of the language.

      Wouldn’t that make the body of the function unsafe too?

        No, the attribute is unsafe. An unsafe function is marked unsafe fn.

        Also, unsafe by itself just means there are invariants that must me manually upheld to avoid unsound behavior. If those invariants are upheld, then it doesn’t matter if it’s unsafe.
