clang_arg don't work when used to include the header file

[try-agaaain]

I defined bindgen as follows:

     let wasm_bindings = bindgen::Builder::default()
         // The input header we would like to generate
         // bindings for.
         .header("../../wasm-runtime/include/bpf-api.h")
         .clang_arg("-I")
         .clang_arg("../../third_party/wasm-micro-runtime/core/iwasm/include/wasm_export.h")
         .clang_arg("-x")
         .clang_arg("c++")
         // Tell cargo to invalidate the built crate whenever any of the
         // included header files changed.
         .parse_callbacks(Box::new(bindgen::CargoCallbacks))
         // Finish the builder and generate the bindings.
         .generate()
         // Unwrap the Result and panic on failure.
         .expect("Unable to generate wasm-bpf bindings");

In the header file ../../wasm-runtime/include/bpf-api.h, you need to reference another header file ../../third_party/wasm-micro-runtime/core/iwasm/include /wasm_export.h, so I added this header file to the search path via clang_arg, but it didn't work.

The following error occurred in the terminal:

   --- stderr

I also tried defining BINDGEN_EXTRA_CLANG_ARGS="-I../../third_party/wasm-micro-runtime/core/iwasm/include/wasm_export.h", but that didn't work either.

I wonder know why doesn't clang_arg work? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (I tried to find related issues, but it didn't solve my problem.)

I think that's because -I is used to include whole directories, you want to use -include instead:

  -I <dir>                Add directory to the end of the list of include search paths
  -include <file>         Include file before parsing

Or you could use the header method again instead:

     let wasm_bindings = bindgen::Builder::default()
         // The input header we would like to generate
         // bindings for.
         .header("../../wasm-runtime/include/bpf-api.h")
         .header("../../third_party/wasm-micro-runtime/core/iwasm/include/wasm_export.h")
         .clang_arg("-x")
         .clang_arg("c++")
         // Tell cargo to invalidate the built crate whenever any of the
         // included header files changed.
         .parse_callbacks(Box::new(bindgen::CargoCallbacks))
         // Finish the builder and generate the bindings.
         .generate()
         // Unwrap the Result and panic on failure.
         .expect("Unable to generate wasm-bpf bindings");

Let me know if this fixes your problem.
