This update builds on #2343 and dramatically simplifies input parameter bindings, somethings that's always been rather complicated as we've attempted to model convertibility in Rust. Rather than depend on thousands of
From
andTryFrom
implementations, types now implement the marker traits calledCanInto
andCanTryInto
that do nothing but indicate to thewindows
crate that such types are convertible. The various Windows APIs can then rely on these traits to transform input arguments in the most efficient way possible, either casting directly to a parent interface (in a COM hierarchy) or callingQueryInterface
when a conversion is expected (in a WinRT hierarchy).The end result is a simpler abstraction with far less code. Specifically, it avoids generating around 7,000
From
andTryFrom
implementations. That amounts to a lot of functions that the Rust compiler doesn't have to parse, saving on build time.
