🚀 Announcing cppwinrtc: modules only, fast abi only C++23 compiler. Compile any WinRT APIs past, present and future in modules! the modern cppwinrt replacement you were looking for.

[Momin Shaikh (mominshaikhdev)]

It is modules only, fast abi only C++23 compiler. no more header files or precompiled headers or pch.h.

the repo is here: https://github.com/mominshaikhdev/cppwinrtc-compiler.

release : https://github.com/mominshaikhdev/cppwinrtc-compiler/releases/tag/cppwinrtc.

The winrt modules you implemented does not use the std module; this is completely toy-level. Using standard library headers in the global module fragment of each module wastes a tremendous amount of time, which is exactly what I strove to avoid during implementation. Moreover, it also lacks a large number of useful features, such as coroutines. I used my experience and knowledge to convince microsoft/cppwinrt to adopt my implementation, not because it happened to work. Although there are many areas where cppwinrt could be improved, your implementation is very far from being usable.

right. this is NOT by any means to force anyone to use it. there is a reason why it is NOT a fork of cppwinrt. I spent an enormous time getting the winmd format to work. will add the std module and coroutine feature support. will get to that later. It compiles and gets the job done. thanks for the feedback.

Update:

added std modules support, there's even a -std switch for that. added comprehensive coroutines support, added comprehensive helper/utility functions.

head over to the repo for more details: https://github.com/mominshaikhdev/cppwinrtc-compiler.
release has been updated too.

Now the project stands firm in its's title that IT IS A MODERN REPLACEMENT OF cppwinrt. ☠️🔥

cheers!
