tinycom-rs

Tiny COM implements the tiny subset necessary to consume IUnknown interfaces, it does so in a platform independent way and with 0 dependencies, so shared libraries complying with COM can be loaded on other systems (like the Direct X shader compiler).

Alternatives

This crate covers a tiny area, other COM related crated might be more suitables depending on your use case

• Windows only com support: https://github.com/microsoft/com-rs
• Ability to write COM components in rust: https://github.com/Rantanen/intercom

Credits

This crate was originally developped by Lee Jeffery, and has been depracated since to be replaced by com-rs, the official microsoft COM bindings. We decided to revive the crate to serve our small use case and the idea is to not extend it's functionnality.

lib.rs:

tinycom-rs 0.1.0

Tiny Rust bindings for the Win32 Component Object Model.

Overview

This crate is composed of three main components:

• The com_interface! macro for defining new interface types.
• The ComPtr type for making use of them.
• Definition of IUnknown, the base COM interface.
