windows-bindgen
crate replaces the existinggen
crate. The latter is still used by thebuild
andgenerate
macros but those will be removed soon. Projects should simply use thebindgen
crate directly.bindgen
crate is now used to generate thewindows
andwindows-sys
crates as well as the internal bindings.windows
andwindows-sys
is now much more closely aligned, making code maintenance much more manageable and for dependents switching between the two dependencies a lot easier.windows
crate now behave a lot more like those in thewindows-sys
crate with fewer unnecessary type system adornments.bindgen
crate does not rely on thederive
macro, producing code that compiles faster.Debug
trait is no longer implemented as it requires a lot of code gen and negatively impacts compile time.The next step is to introduce a trait-based replacement for the
implement
macro and then thegen
crate along with thebuild
andgenerate
macros will be removed.
