hello

hello — minimal plugin

Smallest viable rust-samp plugin. One native, no state, no lifecycle overrides.

What it demonstrates

• #[derive(SampPlugin, Default)] — empty trait impl, no manual impl SampPlugin.
• initialize_plugin!(type: Hello, natives: [...]) — short form that uses Default::default() as the constructor.
• &AmxString argument — the macro injects the borrow automatically.
• AmxString through Deref<Target = str> — &**name reads the decoded string without an extra allocation.
• UnsizedBuffer::write_str — output string written in one call.

Native

native Hello_Greet(const name[], greeting[] = "", size = sizeof(greeting));

Behavior:

• Empty name → writes Hello, Anonymous!.
• name starting with Admin → writes [ADMIN] Welcome, <name>!.
• Otherwise → writes Hello, <name>! (<len> letters).

Pawn usage

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    new buf[64];
    Hello_Greet("World", buf);
    print(buf); // "Hello, World! (5 letters)"
    return 1;
}

Build

cargo build --release --target i686-unknown-linux-gnu -p hello

Output: target/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/release/libhello.so.
