Windows API for Rust.

awesome. One more question : All constant like LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, where should it be defined ?

François Dubois

@francoisduboisx_twitter

Ok, I think I found, um/winnt contains all constants

I should add constant for logonuser, thanks

François Dubois

@francoisduboisx_twitter

@retep998 What should I do for the compilation condition :

//#if(_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500)
pub const LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK_CLEARTEXT: ULONG = 8;
pub const LOGON32_LOGON_NEW_CREDENTIALS: ULONG = 9;
//#endif // (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500)

I guess it is not a problem to always define those constant and remove the compilation condition ?

@francoisduboisx_twitter Constants should be defined in the module corresponding to the header they are from. In the case of LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT it is defined in um/winbase.h

and those _WIN32_WINNT conditionals can basically be ignored because winapi does not support restricting the API for older versions

How can I figure the UUID of a CLSID thing? I would like to add CLSID_ADSystemInfo.

Peter Atashian

@retep998

@bbigras

class DECLSPEC_UUID("50B6327F-AFD1-11d2-9CB9-0000F87A369E")
ADSystemInfo;

That's a quote from the header itself, and is how you would find the uuid for a class

Hi, I am on Windows and trying to run cargo doc --open on a project which uses rand (which pulls in winapi), but when I try the command, it tries to document winapi, and building it fails with thousands of errors about unused variables and such. What am I doing wrong?

it is just the guessing game project from the rust book

I am using rust-nightly

I’m just getting started with winapi-rs. Any idea why I can’t use winapi::um::minwinbase::SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES:

error[E0432]: unresolved import `winapi::um::minwinbase`

  |

well, ok, figured that out

Now I’m trying to pass a DEBUG_EVENT to WaitForDebugEvent .
In order to do this, I need to create a DEBUG_EVENT, but because DEBUG_EVENT.DEBUG_EVENT_u doesn’t have anyway to create it, I can’t create a DEBUG_EVENT, and so I can’t create an empty argument to pass to WaitForDebugEvent.

I’m a little stuck on this one

Hello guys, how one would create an instance of winapi::um::synchapi::OVERLAPPED_u?
this one is not working:

50 |         let u = OVERLAPPED_u([0, 0]);
   |                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ constructor is not visible here due to private fields

Mykhailo Osypov

@mosyp

ah, union macro does not include pub in ints constuctor, prepared a pr retep998/winapi-rs#672

@retep998 Is there any chance it will bve merged and released? The workaround is only to provide custom fn/strcut externs for the whole call tree

@d4hines

Hello all. I'm a JS dev looking to do some deeper Win32 integration from NodeJS, so I'm evaluating options. How active/widely used is winapi-rs?

Peter Atashian

@retep998

@d4hines winapi is very widely used, and is generally the only option anyways

basically anything in the rust ecosystem that needs to talk to windows api uses winapi

@woodgear

hi guys,we need your help

here https://github.com/retep998/winapi-rs/compare/0.3...Trantect:feature/km

we currently use rust write windows driver and has deploy it to product env.

we add some km binding of winapi

here https://github.com/Trantect/win_driver_example

is a brief example how we do.

cargo xbuild + custom target + km binding of winapi.

i afraid of request a PR cause we juse use it in our company. but of couse we want to make it merge into winapi.

聪

@woodgear

we use rust-bindgen to transform ddk header file to rust and edit it manual to pick up function or struct what we used.

how you guys think?

@retep998

Peter Atashian

@retep998

@woodgear I do want to have bindings to kernel mode stuff, however actually linking to kernel mode specific stuff is a very hairy problem right now

types and constants can be provided just fine though

聪

@woodgear

why? what the difference?

聪

@woodgear

what the problem is? maybe be we could fix that

Peter Atashian

@retep998

@woodgear I'd need Rust to officially bless certain targets for windows kernel mode, so I can detect them and link to different things for them.

聪

@woodgear

en,maybe a branch like feature/km? we could not do nothing but just wait for rust officially .

i will open a pr to push rust add windows kernel mode target (by the way where should i go? rust/rustup?)

聪

@woodgear

for now, we could temporary assume that the target name is i686-kernel-windows-msvc for x86 and x86_64-kernel-windows-msvc for x64

there are some people who want to km binding of winapi like retep998/winapi-rs#605

Peter Atashian

@retep998

I'll try to work on some stuff in a branch

聪

@woodgear

cool,please make that branch be public, we are gratefully to contribute our code.

here https://github.com/retep998/winapi-rs/compare/0.3...Trantect:feature/km

here https://github.com/Trantect/win_driver_example

in fact here https://github.com/Trantect/win-kmd-alloc/blob/master/build.rs is how we link lib

hopefully be helpful
