A "compatibility layer" for spanning XP and Windows 7 +//! A "compatibility layer" for supporting older versions of Windows //! -//! The standard library currently binds many functions that are not available -//! on Windows XP, but we would also like to support building executables that -//! run on XP. To do this we specify all non-XP APIs as having a fallback -//! implementation to do something reasonable. +//! The standard library uses some Windows API functions that are not present +//! on older versions of Windows. (Note that the oldest version of Windows +//! that Rust supports is Windows 7 (client) and Windows Server 2008 (server).) +//! This module implements a form of delayed DLL import binding, using +//! `GetModuleHandle` and `GetProcAddress` to look up DLL entry points at +//! runtime. //! -//! This dynamic runtime detection of whether a function is available is -//! implemented with `GetModuleHandle` and `GetProcAddress` paired with a -//! static-per-function which caches the result of the first check. In this -//! manner we pay a semi-large one-time cost up front for detecting whether a -//! function is available but afterwards it's just a load and a jump. - -use crate::ffi::CString; -use crate::sys::c; - -pub fn lookup(module: &str, symbol: &str) -> Option<usize> { - let mut module: Vec<u16> = module.encode_utf16().collect(); - module.push(0); - let symbol = CString::new(symbol).unwrap(); - unsafe { - let handle = c::GetModuleHandleW(module.as_ptr()); - match c::GetProcAddress(handle, symbol.as_ptr()) as usize { - 0 => None, - n => Some(n), - } - } -} +//! This implementation uses a static initializer to look up the DLL entry +//! points. The CRT (C runtime) executes static initializers before `main` +//! is called (for binaries) and before `DllMain` is called (for DLLs). +//! This is the ideal time to look up DLL imports, because we are guaranteed +//! that no other threads will attempt to call these entry points. Thus, +//! we can look up the imports and store them in `static mut` fields +//! without any synchronization. +//! +//! This has an additional advantage: Because the DLL import lookup happens +//! at module initialization, the cost of these lookups is deterministic, +//! and is removed from the code paths that actually call the DLL imports. +//! That is, there is no unpredictable "cache miss" that occurs when calling +//! a DLL import. For applications that benefit from predictable delays, +//! this is a benefit. This also eliminates the comparison-and-branch +//! from the hot path. +//! +//! Currently, the standard library uses only a small number of dynamic +//! DLL imports. If this number grows substantially, then the cost of +//! performing all of the lookups at initialization time might become +//! substantial. +//! +//! The mechanism of registering a static initializer with the CRT is +//! documented in +//! [CRT Initialization](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/crt-initialization?view=msvc-160). +//! It works by contributing a global symbol to the `.CRT$XCU` section. +//! The linker builds a table of all static initializer functions. +//! The CRT startup code then iterates that table, calling each +//! initializer function. +//! +//! # **WARNING!!* +//! The environment that a static initializer function runs in is highly +//! constrained. There are **many** restrictions on what static initializers +//! can safely do. Static initializer functions **MUST NOT** do any of the +//! following (this list is not comprehensive): +//! * touch any other static field that is used by a different static +//! initializer, because the order that static initializers run in +//! is not defined. +//! * call `LoadLibrary` or any other function that acquires the DLL +//! loader lock. +//! * call any Rust function or CRT function that touches any static +//!
