Uwp Vs Win32

[Práxedes Jamal]

Bydesign, this package provides minimal modifications to the Win32 API tosupport Dart idioms. The goal is to provide high familiarity to an existingWindows developer. Other Dart packages may build on these primitives to providea friendly API for Dart and Flutter developers. A good example of that iswin32_registry, which offers a set ofAPIs for accessing the Windows Registry that don't require knowledge of FFI.

There are a growing number of packages that build on the relatively low-levelAPIs exposed by the Dart win32 package to provide more idiomatic class wrappers.These packages typically don't require any knowledge of Windows programmingmodels or FFI, and are ideal for incorporation into Flutter apps for Windows.

The current package only projects a subset of the Win32 API, but new APIs willbe added based on user demand, particularly if it unblocks the creation of newDart packages for Windows. Please file feature requests and bugs at the issuetracker.

If this causes you concern, our recommendation is to pin to a specific versionof Win32. But the best approach is simply to test regularly with the latestversion of this package, and continue to move your minimum forward.

The Tetris example listed above is a fuller worked example of a reasonablycomplete program that uses the Dart Win32 package. It is a port of a C versionof the game by Chang-Hung Liang. More information...

Win32 APIs provide powerful functionality that let you get the most out of Windows in your applications. While these APIs are readily accessible to C and C++ developers, other languages like C# and Rust require wrappers or bindings in order to access these APIs. In C#, this is commonly known as platform invoking or P/Invoke.

As owners of the Windows SDK, we wanted to see where we could provide unique value here, take some of the burden off of the community, and make achieving broad and sustainable API coverage across languages a reality.

The goal of the win32metadata project is to provide a complete description of the Win32 API surface in metadata so that it can be projected to any language in an automated way, improving correctness and minimizing maintenance overhead. The output of this project is effectively an ECMA-335 compliant Windows metadata file (winmd) published to Nuget.org containing metadata describing the entire Win32 API surface.

Win32 APIs have existed for a long time, so accurately describing all of them will take some iteration. We will be developing this tooling in the open and welcome community contributions to ensure an accurate representation of the Win32 API surface that will benefit all languages.

For this metadata to enable developers to call Win32 APIs idiomatically from the language of their choice, we need language projections built on top of it. The first such language projection is C#/Win32.

Simply add a reference to the Microsoft.Windows.CsWin32 package from NuGet.org and add a file called NativeMethods.txt to the root of your project with a list of Win32 functions you want to call. The file can contain one function per line or even wildcards like BCrypt.* for including entire modules. Once populated, C#/Win32 will generate the P/Invoke wrappers for the functions you request and all of their dependencies.

You can see in the animation above, after adding CreateFile to NativeMethods.txt and a using statement for the Microsoft.Windows.Sdk namespace, CreateFile can be called via the PInvoke static class. C#/Win32 provides rich Intellisense, strong types for parameters, and also includes the relevant documentation from docs.microsoft.com, all dynamically generated from metadata based on the APIs you request! No additional dependencies are required, broad API coverage is achieved with improved correctness and minimal maintenance overhead, and the APIs are expressed idiomatically as C# developers would expect.

The Rust language projection follows in the tradition established by C++/WinRT of building language projections for Windows using standard languages and compilers, providing a natural and idiomatic way for Rust developers to call Windows APIs. The windows crate lets you call any Windows API using code generated on the fly directly from the metadata, enabling you to call the APIs as if they were just another Rust module. It does not attempt to partition Windows APIs by technology, instead providing a single way to call any Windows API regardless of the underlying technology. You can seamlessly make use of APIs based on C-style exports, COM interfaces, or WinRT types.

In addition to C# and Rust, we are also working on a Modern C++ projection in the open on GitHub and welcome community contributions there. These projects are early previews and under active development so are subject to change significantly as we absorb feedback and make progress. We will work with the community to support other languages based on demand, partnering with existing community projects where appropriate.

Making Win32 APIs more accessible to more languages will allow developers to make the most out of Windows regardless of their preferred language. We are excited to engage with the community to expand API coverage and language support and minimize the maintenance overhead of existing projects.

ThePOSIX1003.1-2001 standard defines an application programming interface(API) for writing multithreaded applications. This interface is knownmore commonly as pthreads.A good number of modern operating systems include a threading libraryof some kind: Solaris (UI) threads, Win32 threads, DCE threads,DECthreads, or any of the draft revisions of the pthreads standard.The trend is that most of these systems are slowly adopting thepthreads standard API, with application developers following suit toreduce porting woes.

Pthreads-win32currently implements a large subset of the POSIX standard threadsrelated API. See our conformance pagefor a complete list of options and functions implemented as well asthose that aren't.

The Apache HTTP Server Project itself does not provide binary releases of software, only source code. Individual committers may provide binary packages as a convenience, but it is not a release deliverable.

TCP/IP must be correctly installed, configured and running in order to install and use Apache on Windows. If you use dial-up networking exclusively, you may need to be connected to the internet for Apache to correctly determine that TCP/IP is installed.

We suggest disabling the "Quality of Service" (or QoS) network driver from Microsoft if you primarily use the machine as an Apache Server, as Apache does not support the QoS extensions to the WinSock API.

Most Firewall programs, Web Spam filters and other TCP/IP driver-based products (including spyware!) do not correctly implement the entire WinSock API. The shortcuts taken by the developers of such products cause Apache to fail. If you insist on leaving such programs installed, and have problems with your Apache installation, consider the suggestion below.

If you encounter problems running Apache 2 under Windows, such as corrupted or incomplete file downloads, unexplained error messages, or a conflict with a software firewall, please place the following three directives in your httpd.conf configuration file to see if they eliminate the problems:

The general problem is that many people install various add-ons to windows (such as software firewalls, virus checkers, etc) that break some of the advanced functionality that Apache uses to speed the sending of files. The above directives turn off the advanced functionality and make Apache fall back to more basic (but slower) techniques. This resolves most, but not all of the potential problems. If you continue to experience problems, be certain that there is no spyware installed on the box, which exhibits exactly the same sorts of flaws (often more obviously).

The Apache User Support Mailing List and the comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows newsgroup both provide peer to peer support. Pose your question or problem on only one forum at a time. If you do not follow these guidelines, your questions and pleas for assistance will likely go unanswered. To learn how to get questions answered effectively, you might want to read How to Ask Questions the Smart Way written by Eric S. Raymond and Rick Moen - which is a very good primer for end users to learn to pose effective questions to their fellow users and the project's developers. (NOTE they will only help you learn to ask questions, Eric and Rick do not provide you help with Apache HTTP Server!)

The -win32-x86-openssl-(version).msi package includes an https: enabled abs.exe utility, mod_ssl.so TLS/SSL protocol module, and a binary distribution of the specified version of OpenSSL. Please review the Cryptographic Software Notice carefully before downloading, using or redistributing this package.

Looking for an older version? Please, don't. There have been a number of essential bug and security fixes with the evolving support for Apache under Win32. Most critically, there were several denial of service, arbitrary code execution and other vulnerabilities affecting Win32 in previous releases. Please, avoid all earlier versions. That said;

Only current, recommended releases are available from www.apache.org and the mirror sites. Older releases, and their corresponding debugging -symbols.zip packages, can be obtained from the archive site.

You can find a corresponding -win32-x86-symbols.zip archive of the debugging databases in the symbols/ directory, these are typically not needed. This -win32-x86-symbols.zip archive can be unpacked into the Apache installation directory, providing all of the .pdb diagnostic files allowing most Win32 debugging tools (and the Dr. Watson utility) to produce useful crash analysis.
