C++/WinRT agility saga, part 9, and Raymond is still out here making delegate marshaling feel like a cosmic puzzle box. The TL;DR? C++/WinRT 🚫 rejects non‑marshalable delegates outright C++/CX 🤷♀️ only blows up when you actually cross apartments WRL 😬 eagerly creates agile refs and face‑plants if the delegate can’t marshal Raymond’s table is a whole mood — equal parts “we worked too hard” and “maybe you don’t need all this” 👉 Funky deep dive: https://lnkd.in/e5XDcCWk ✖️ X (≤300 chars) Raymond’s back with agile delegates, part 9, and the vibes are chaotic‑precise: C++/WinRT = hard reject on non‑marshalable delegates C++/CX = “fine… until you cross apartments” energy WRL = eager agile ref + instant nope if non‑marshalable 👉 Funky read: https://lnkd.in/e5XDcCWk

🧠⚙️ Hybrid Rust/C++ codebases are here, and this session is the perfect “mind the gap” tour. From FFI duct tape → bindgen/cbindgen → CXX → Zengor → Kubit → compiler‑level magic, it’s a full map of today’s interop pain points and the emerging fixes. If you care about layout, relocatability, pinning, or API guarantees… this one’s a treat. 👉 Watch the replay: https://buff.ly/Rp3jdwk

C++/WinRT agility continues its saga 😅 Raymond Chen digs into a sneaky corner case: lambda captures in C++ have unspecified construction order, meaning get_context_token() might run before the unique_ptr capture — and if it throws, your raw ABI pointer leaks 💥 The fix? Create the unique_ptr before the lambda, or use copy‑elision into the capture. 👉 Read: https://buff.ly/ldscfQA
