Windows string types

The windows-strings crate provides common Windows string types used by various Windows APIs.

Start by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies.windows-strings]
version = "0.5"

Use the Windows string types as needed:

use windows_strings::*;

const A: PCSTR = s!("ansi");
const W: PCWSTR = w!("wide");

fn main() {
    let b = BSTR::from("bstr");
    let h = HSTRING::from("hstring");

    assert_eq!(b, "bstr");
    assert_eq!(h, "hstring");

    assert_eq!(unsafe { A.to_string().unwrap() }, "ansi");
    assert_eq!(unsafe { W.to_string().unwrap() }, "wide");
}
