Regenerating FlatBuffers Bindings

June 3, 2026 · View on GitHub

The base_container_specification crate contains Rust bindings auto-generated from external/windows-sdk/BaseContainerSpecification.fbs.

Prerequisites

flatc.exe (FlatBuffers compiler) -- download from https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/releases
Copy .fbs from Windows SDK to external/windows-sdk/BaseContainerSpecification.fbs

Steps

From the repo root, run the regeneration script in PowerShell:

pwsh -File src/core/generated/base_container_specification/regenerate.ps1

The script runs flatc, reorganizes the output into the crate's module layout, patches lib.rs (module rename + lint suppression), and formats the result with cargo fmt. Pass -Flatc <path> if flatc.exe is not on your PATH.
