Bug Description

Projects utilizing cffi bindings do not run after migrating to Rust 2024. Reason for this is the use of unsafe attributes. This changes the #[no_mangle] attribute into #[unsafe(no_mangle)].

Maturin currently depends on cbindgen 0.27 which is unable to parse unsafe attributes. An update to cbindgen 0.28 should fix this.

See #2498

What bindings you're using

cffi

Does cargo build work?

• Yes, it works

If on windows, have you checked that you aren't accidentally using unix path (those with the forward slash /)?

• Yes

Steps to Reproduce

1. Build any project with cffi bindings utilizing at least one exported function from Python
2. Run any python code supposed to call that function. This results in an error:

cffi library '<path to dynamic library>' has no function, constant or global variable named '<unmangled function name>'
