UWP UI application in Rust

6

Is it possible to create a uwp app with a ui with this library? If so can an example for that use case be added? If not what's preventing this:...

First step towards const fn evaluation. Changes: - Change `ComIid` trait to return by value (should be changed to an associated const before merging this) - Add fullname strings to...

I haven't fully understood the Windows Runtime threading model yet. We should probably mark generated class as `Send` and/or `Sync` based on the `ThreadingModel` and `MarshallingBehavior` attributes. If I understand...

1

This should be possible with Rust's coroutines support, see https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/unstable-book/language-features/generators.html and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/43122. We might need to provide our own macros similar to https://github.com/alexcrichton/futures-await.

[Question] Plans to use the new cppwinrt project?

Looks like Microsoft just released a new repo that contains Vanilla C++ projections for WinRT: https://github.com/Microsoft/cppwinrt ([and the associated blog post](https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/11/28/standard-c-windows-runtime-cwinrt/)) Would using this be easier than generating the necessary...

I had an idea that might alleviate the pain of this crate's compile times (#26): Once we have a code generator in Rust (#50) – which would probably be quite...
