----

# [Musa.Runtime](https://github.com/MiroKaku/Musa.Runtime) is available, ucxxrt is no longer providing support!!!

### Musa.Runtime is the implementation of the new architecture of ucxxrt.

### Fewer changes, more features and standard libraries support.

----

> UserMode support has been removed since March 29th, 2022. The final version known to support UserMode is [e2f159f8f](https://github.com/MiroKaku/ucxxrt/tree/e2f159f8f04a829359e3a057b70457121485b4dc). Please use [VC-LTL5](https://github.com/Chuyu-Team/VC-LTL5) instead in UserMode.

## 1. About

`ucxxrt` is an open source runtime library based on MSVC. The highlight of this project is its usability in *kernel-mode drivers*, and it provides you nearly the same experience as developing user-mode applications in C++.

Before `ucxxrt` was born, in order to use C++ STL in kernel-mode drivers, users have to craft their own template libraries (eg. [KTL](https://github.com/MeeSong/KTL), ustd, ...).
There are still several problems. Like it does not support C++ exceptions, and mainly, it costs very much time to implement new language features when C++ ISO standard updates.

Then `ucxxrt` was born.

### 1.1 How `ucxxrt` works

* When developing kernel-mode drivers, kernel-mode flag is disabled by using property sheets, forcibly making the compiler support C++ exceptions. Exception flag(`/EHsc`) is also enabled.

* Implements exception functions like `throw`, `catch`. Simulates the exception dispatcher in `throw` and handles the exception in callback functions.

### 1.2 Features

- [x] support x86, x64, ARM(experimental), ARM64(experimental).
- [x] support new/delete operators.
- [x] support C++ exception (/EHa, /EHsc).
- [x] support SAFESEH、GS (Buffer Security Check).
- [x] support STL (not fully).
- [x] support static objects.

### 1.3 Example

> See project [unittest](https://github.com/MiroKaku/ucxxrt/blob/main/test/unittest.cpp) for more information.

```cpp
void Test$ThrowUnknow()
{
try
{
try
{
try
{
throw std::wstring();
}
catch (int& e)
{
ASSERT(false);
LOG(DPFLTR_IHVDRIVER_ID, DPFLTR_ERROR_LEVEL, "Catch Exception: %d\n", e);
}
}
catch (std::string& e)
{
ASSERT(false);
LOG(DPFLTR_IHVDRIVER_ID, DPFLTR_ERROR_LEVEL, "Catch Exception: %s\n", e.c_str());
}
}
catch (...)
{
LOG(DPFLTR_IHVDRIVER_ID, DPFLTR_ERROR_LEVEL, "Catch Exception: ...\n");
}
}

void Test$HashMap()
{
auto Rand = std::mt19937_64(::rand());
auto Map = std::unordered_map();
for (auto i = 0u; i < 10; ++i)
{
Map[i] = std::to_string(Rand());
}

for (const auto& Item : Map)
{
LOG(DPFLTR_IHVDRIVER_ID, DPFLTR_ERROR_LEVEL,
"map[%ld] = %s\n", Item.first, Item.second.c_str());
}
}
```

## 2. How to use

**First, rename `DriverEntry` to `DriverMain`.**

### 2.1 Method 1 (recommended)

Right click on the project, select "Manage NuGet Packages".
Search for `ucxxrt`, choose the version that suits you, and then click "Install".

![nuget](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MiroKaku/ucxxrt/main/readme/nuget.png)

### 2.2 Method 2

1. Download the latest package from [Releases](https://github.com/MiroKaku/ucxxrt/releases) and unzip it.

2. Add the property sheet `ucxxrt.props` to your project.

## 3. How to build

IDE:Visual Studio 2022 latest version

and Windows SDK

and Windows Driver Kits

* `git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/MiroKaku/ucxxrt.git`
* Open `ucxxrt.sln` and build.

* For clang-cl or llvm-msvc, you will have to add `-march=native` in the compiler flags.

> Great thanks to these excellent projects. Without their existence, there would be no `ucxxrt` then.
