8695 :: How would I port such project to nim?

• nimgurl (orginal) [2021-12-08T21:01:15+01:00] view original

  Hello!

  I am trying to convert this project to nim: https://github.com/am0nsec/wspe/tree/master/AppLocker/List%20Policies

  Using c2nim I got some results, but it seems that COM Interface is hard to translate to nim if I am not mistaken. So.. is this possible to port to nim?

  If not, how would I load this functionality from a simple nim program? I can't seem to find the right code to load such an external file to nim.

  Is this not possible because of the depency on COM?

  See https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/tools/urldownloader.nim for an example how to deal with COM with nim c. With nim cpp it is probably easier but I don't know the details.

  aren't you intended to generate this boilerplate from an interface spec when it comes to COM?

  In order to generate it, you first have to understand what to generate.

  Here is some demo to work with COM interface.
