Hello everyone. While implementing Rust std for UEFI, I came across an interesting problem. The signature of the entry function in Rust did not match the UEFI entry signature. Initially, I just used a hacky way to get things to work. However, later I made some changes to upstream Rust to make generating entry functions with custom signatures much easier. In this post, I will show how to implement generating such an entry function in upstream Rust through the example of UEFI. ...more

It has been quite a while since I gave any updates about Rust std implementation for UEFI. While the Google Summer of Code ended quite a bit ago (it's almost time for GSoC 23), I have been continuing my efforts to merge it upstream. Check out my GSoC 22 Summary Post for a refresher on the project. ...more

I have been playing around with axum, and it has been quite a fun web framework. While using it, I came across what is a relatively common use case of validating the request JSON. However, I could not find any extractor for this. Thus I decided to write my own and share it with everyone. While I haven't put it in a crate, feel free to use the code as you wish. ...more
