can't build wdm/kmdf/umdf clean template.

[mtb0x1]

Hello,

After creating a sample project with cargo wdk new --... and cargo wdk build, I get a bunch of error like below.

error[E0080]: attempt to compute `1_usize - 352_usize`, which would overflow
   --> D:\wdriver\kmdf_driver\target\debug\build\wdk-sys-22a289287a10812e\out/types.rs:302:7

modifying the build.rs of wdk-sys with patch below, let me bypass the issue.
version :

wdk-sys = "0.5.1"

what would be the right fix in my case ? (toolchain/ setup issue) ? cause I believe if the layout tests are wrong then, the binary produced likely to fail later in runtime.

Layout tests failing is definitely not good. It means the bindgen-generated bindings can cause issues with the offending types. We're not seeing this issue on our nightly CI runs, so this might be a toolchain version issue.

1. What version of the WDK are you using? (Currently supported and CI-tested versions are in our matrix)
2. How are you consuming the WDK (eWDK, installed WDK via installer/winget, nuget)?
3. What's the contents of your cargo.lock?

1. 10.0.26100
2. WDK installed in 2 steps using installer from official microsoft website.

We've been doing some testing and it looks like there's an issue somewhere in ToT llvm. We are unable to repro with latest released LLVM(21.1.2). See #593.

@krishnakumar4a4 says he was able to repro with ToT LLVM. So it seems like there's something in LLVM that has broken layout parsing of certain types...

[mtb0x1]

I will switch to llvm 21, and as for llvm 22 I will wait for release version.
