  Rust bindings to Windows API

Project mention: Improving Interoperability Between Rust and C++ | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-05

Vtables are pretty solved as well. I do a lot of Windows COM interop. Using the `windows` crate, vtables for COM interfaces are relegated to an implementation detail - instead you simply implement a (typically safe!) trait:

https://microsoft.github.io/windows-docs-rs/doc/windows/Win3...

Which can then be converted to a refcounted smart pointer:

https://microsoft.github.io/windows-docs-rs/doc/windows/Win3...

All driven by win32 sdk parsing and metadata.

But suppose we want to roll our own, because we tend to prefer `winapi` but it lacks definition. That's not too terrible either:

• https://github.com/MaulingMonkey/thindx-xaudio2/blob/master/...

• https://github.com/MaulingMonkey/thindx-xaudio2/blob/master/...

• https://github.com/MaulingMonkey/thindx-xaudio2/blob/master/...

I could more heavily lean on my macros ala `windows`, but I went the route of manual control for better doc comments, more explicit control of thread safety traits to match the existing C++ codebase, etc.

Is there some pointer casting? Yes. Is it annoying or likely to be what breaks? No. What is annoying?

• Stacked borrows and narrowing spatial provenance ( https://github.com/retep998/winapi-rs/issues/1025 - this can be "solved" by sticking to pointers ala `windows`, or by choosing a different provenance model like rustc might be doing?)

• Guarding against panics unwinding over an FFI boundary. This is at least being worked on, but remains unfinished ( https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2945-c-unwind-abi.html )

• Edge case ABI weirdness specific to C++ methods ( https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20220113-00/?p=10... , https://github.com/retep998/winapi-rs/issues/523 )
