It provides a safe, idiomatic interface for Rust developers while ensuring full compatibility with mIRC’s environment. Key features: Automatic DLL Lifecycle Management - Handles LoadDll and UnloadDll automatically, eliminating boilerplate and setup hassle. Comprehensive LOADINFO Support - Adds LOADINFO compatibility for mIRC versions 5.6 through 5.71. All current LOADINFO items are supported across all versions — even those that didn’t originally include them. Robust String Encoding - Transparently encodes and decodes both ANSI and Unicode strings into UTF-8 Rust strings, ensuring smooth interoperability. Selective Function Exposure - Functions can be annotated with dllcall = false to restrict access exclusively to $dllcall, preventing accidental use via $dll which could lock up mIRC. Memory Safety by Design - Mirust enforces safe Rust practices, preventing out-of-bounds memory access and avoiding unsafe pointer manipulation. https://crates.io/crates/mirust/ Example function Code #[mirust_fn] fn my_command( m_wnd: HWND, a_wnd: HWND, data: String, parms: String, show: BOOL, nopause: BOOL, ) -> mirust::MircResult { let command = "echo -st * Message from 🦀 Rust: $1-".to_string(); let my_string = format!("You sent me: {}", data); mirust::MircResult { code: 2, // Command data: Some(command), parms: Some(my_string), } } Mirust works with mIRC on x86 (32 bit), and is expected to function correctly on x86_64 (64 bit) and ARM64 versions of mIRC - assuming mIRC will use the "C" ABI in the upcoming variants. @Khaled, is there a full list of lengths for data/parms (I could only find 900 bytes for 5.6, and the rest is unknown until 7.64 when mBytes was introduced) [02:16] * Titanic has quit IRC (Excess Flood)
