Clippy fix
// Note that this is manually defined here rather than using the definition | ||
// through `winapi`. The `winapi` definition comes from the `synchapi` | ||
// header which enables the "synchronization.lib" library. It turns out, | ||
// however that `Sleep` comes from `kernel32.dll` so this activation isn't | ||
// necessary. | ||
// | ||
// This was originally identified in rust-lang/rust where on MinGW the | ||
// libsynchronization.a library pulls in a dependency on a newer DLL not | ||
// present in older versions of Windows. (see rust-lang/rust#49438) | ||
// | ||
// This is a bit of a hack for now and ideally we'd fix MinGW's own import | ||
// libraries, but that'll probably take a lot longer than patching this here | ||
// and avoiding the `synchapi` feature entirely. | ||

This comment was referring to the previous winapi crate usage, and was misleading and irrelevant.

These functions were incorrectly not marked unsafe
.
// MSDN claims that that WaitOnAddress and WakeByAddressSingle are | ||
// located in kernel32.dll, but they are lying... | ||
let synch_dll = unsafe { GetModuleHandleA(b"api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll\0".as_ptr()) }; |

This comment is outdated, MSDN does show this as the library that implements those functions.
Reminder to adopt standalone code generation support as this PR alone leaves you vulnerable to linker issues. |
This replaces the
windows-sys
dependency with manual bindings to only the functions, types, and constants needed byparking_lot
.Rationale
parking_lot
is a foundational dependency, and thus its choice of dependencies has a fairly wide effect on the ecosystem since it's almost inevitable that even a moderately sized dependency graph will pull it in. This is particularly true due the problematic issue I pointed out in microsoft/windows-rs#1720, in which I actually used parking_lot as an example due to its foundational nature. Using bindings in the few places they are needed means we can completely get rid of thewindows-sys
dependency, positively impacting a huge part of the crates ecosystem with no negatives.parking_lot_core
already has manual bindings toNt*
functions since they are not officially supported by Microsoft and thus not part of the Win32 metadata used to generate the windows-sys bindings.See #332 for a related open issue, and #334 (comment)
