title: How do I call a C++ constructor using the cxx crate?
body: <p>I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45539971/how-do-i-call-a-c-constructor-via-rust-ffi">this question</a>, but it is 3 years old and since then, crates like <code>cxx</code> have come into existence. Is it possible now to construct a C++ object from Rust, or do I still have to create a shim?</p>
