Add the functionality to parse function signatures with associated types out of MIR to cbindgen (either by itself or in addition to Rust source code)
Write tests that will cover the functionality of parsing associated types in cbindgen
Open a PR to merge this code into cbindgen, progress with further tasks as we wait for this to be approved

Eval 2:

Use iroha_ffi to generate extern functions out of existing Rust code
Make corrections to the iroha_ffi library in this process if needed or write manual implementations of extern functions

Eval 3:

Use cbindgen to generate C .h header files out of extern functions in the Rust source code
Conduct manual testing
Address the code bugs

Eval 43:

Document the mentorship results
Create a small app demonstrating that you have successfully linked the shared object with the C header files
Present your results

Timeline

Dates	Tasks/Plan	Status
June 1 - June 24	revisit knowledge of Rust run iroha nodes and connect to it via both `iroha_client_cli` and client app run cbindgen on a small example: - export a function from Rust - generate C bindings with cbindgen - link this C lib from C and Java	done
June 25 - Aug 23	fork the cbindgen repository add the functionality to parse function signatures from MIR	done
Aug 24 - Sept 6	make use of ffi_export macro to generate FFI bindings of methods and functions in iroha_client MIR approach failed - explore other approaches	done
Sept 7 - Sept 20	use cbindgen to generate C header file for exported FFI bindings. This will require cbindgen's features: 1. macro expansion 2. resolution of associated types via MIR (implemented during the previous stages of the internship)	Sept 21 - Oct 4	Oct 5 - Oct 18	Oct 19 - Nov 1	Nov 2 - Nov 12Oct 18	implement resolution of associated types by parsing source code of all dependent crates. create a solution to resolve mutually dependent associated types (topologically sort)	done
Oct 19 - Nov24	generate FFI bindings (.h files) for Iroha client using cbindgen
Nov 25 - Dec 1	write tests and open PR to cbindgen and prepare an article report	done
