“Embracing Standard C++ for the Windows Runtime"
summary
Claims a standard C++ projection (C++/WinRT) that converts WinRT metadata into header-only C++ headers with a standalone generator and no compiler language extensions, and shows working demos: a Hello World and an async image‑picker+OCR flow using co_await resume_background. Presents concrete metrics (smaller binaries: ~53 KB vs ~86 KB for the C++ CX projection), explains factory caching, empty‑base optimizations and a pure query_interface annotation, and demonstrates that the library compiles, runs and improves call/array performance.
