The windows-link crate provides the link
macro that simplifies linking. The link
macro is much the same as the one provided by windows-targets but uses raw-dylib
and thus does not require import lib files.
Start by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:
[dependencies.windows-link]
version = "0.2"
Use the link
macro to define the external functions you wish to call:
windows_link::link!("kernel32.dll" "system" fn SetLastError(code: u32));
windows_link::link!("kernel32.dll" "system" fn GetLastError() -> u32);
unsafe {
SetLastError(1234);
assert_eq!(GetLastError(), 1234);
}
