 By default, Rust does not guarantee order, padding, or the size of data included in a `struct`. In order to guarantee compatibility with C code, we include the `#[repr(C)]` attribute, which instructs the Rust compiler to always use the same rules C does for organizing data within a struct.

 Due to the flexibility of how C or C++ defines an `int` or `char`, it is recommended to use primitive data types defined in `cty`, which will map types from C to types in Rust.

 This statement defines the signature of a function that uses the C ABI, called `cool_function`. By defining the signature without defining the body of the function, the definition of this function will need to be provided elsewhere, or linked into the final library or binary from a static library.
