catboost-sys

Introduction

Low level bindings for C API, adapted from https://github.com/catboost/catboost/tree/master/catboost/rust-package.

Major Differences vs official bindings

Major differences are: * Splitting out from the main repo due to the catboost repo being very big * Change strategy from rebuilding the shared library from source (which makes it hard to publish as a crate) to downloading it from the github official releases * Fixes to make it work for M1 macs (to download the right libcatboost binary) * Most changes are in build.rs, no differences in the APIs * We keep a copy of the model_interface c_bindings from https://github.com/catboost/catboost/tree/v1.0.6/catboost/libs/model_interface in this repo to simplify things
