Template project for creating Windows shared libraries (.dll)
You can either install cargo-generate tool with cargo install cargo-generate or clone this repository.
# Using `cargo-generate` tool
cargo generate https://github.com/sy1ntexx/rusty-dll
# Or clone the project itself
git clone https://github.com/sy1ntexx/rusty-dll
First compile attempt can take significant amount of type due to compilation of winapi crate
Don't forget to rename package to your project name in Cargo.toml
build/ folder contains batch scripts to quickly build your packet for x64 or x86 architecture.
By default, cargo will compile for x64 bit architecture because of .cargo/config.
If you want to target x86 you need to either change the target in configuration file,
or take a use of handy scripts in the build folder.
Write the code you want in main_thread function.
#[no_mangle]
unsafe extern "C" fn DllMain(
hinst_dll: HINSTANCE,
fdw_reason: DWORD,
_lp_reserved: LPVOID) -> BOOL
{
match fdw_reason {
DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH => {
CreateThread(
null_mut(),
0,
std::mem::transmute::<_, unsafe extern "system" fn(LPVOID) -> DWORD>(main_thread as usize).into(),
hinst_dll as _,
0,
null_mut()
);
}
// DLL_PROCESS_DETACH => {}
// DLL_THREAD_ATTACH => {}
// DLL_THREAD_DETACH => {}
_ => { return FALSE; }
}
TRUE
}
unsafe extern "system" fn main_thread(lp_thread_parameter: LPVOID) -> u32 {
// AllocConsole();
println!("Hello from #RustLang!");
// Put your code here
// FreeConsole();
FreeLibraryAndExitThread(lp_thread_parameter as _, 0);
return 0;
}After successfull build, you can find your dll in target/TARGET_NAME/[debug/release]/
