When building my driver with serde (default-features = false as per the docs) I get:

error[E0152]: duplicate lang item in crate `std` (which `serde` depends on): `panic_impl`
  |
  = note: the lang item is first defined in crate `wdk_panic` (which `drv` depends on)
  = note: first definition in `wdk_panic` loaded from \\?\C:\Users\user\git\drv\driver\target\debug\deps\libwdk_panic-4cc9693e0f1d2bfe.rmeta

I am using serde in my driver project as per

[package]
name = "drv"
version = "0.0.2"
edition = "2021"
build = "build.rs"

[package.metadata.wdk.driver-model]
driver-type = "WDM"

[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]
test = false

[features]
default = []
nightly = ["wdk/nightly", "wdk-sys/nightly"]

[dependencies]
wdk = "0.3.0"
wdk-alloc = "0.3.0"
wdk-sys = "0.3.0"
wdk-build = "0.3.0"
wdk-panic = "0.3.0"
shared_no_std = { path = "../shared_no_std" }
serde = { version = "1.0", default-features = false, features = ["derive", "alloc"] }
serde_json = {version = "1.0.132", default-features = false, features = ["alloc"] }

[profile.dev]
panic = "abort"
lto = true

[profile.release]
panic = "abort"
lto = true

[build-dependencies]
wdk-build = "0.3.0"

In my lib.rs:

#![no_std]
extern crate alloc;

#[cfg(not(test))]
extern crate wdk_panic;
use wdk_panic as _;

use core::core_callback_notify_ps;
use ::core::ptr::null_mut;
use wdk::{nt_success, println};
#[cfg(not(test))]
use wdk_alloc::WdkAllocator;

mod ffi;
mod utils;
mod device_comms;
mod core;

#[cfg(not(test))]
#[global_allocator]
static GLOBAL_ALLOCATOR: WdkAllocator = WdkAllocator;

I think I have everything set up to use no_std from serde - I have checked also removing the dependency of the local crate shared_no_std, and I still get the same error. It seems to be re-implementing a panic_impl from std via serde?

I have also added the below to my shared_no_std (as per one stack overflow answer, but that made no change, before that i just declared it was no_std):

#![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)]

• Please inspect and show the output of cargo tree -i serde -e features. The error says that serde depends on std so this command will show what is enabling which serde features. – kmdreko Commented Nov 16, 2024 at 17:23
• @kmdreko hey, i have updated my post with the output of that command, looks like: ``` └── serde feature "std" ├── serde feature "default" () └── serde_json feature "std" () ``` and maybe serde -> semver feature "std" ? – letters_and_numbers Commented Nov 16, 2024 at 17:33
• You declared wdk-build in both [dependencies] and [build-dependencies]. It seems like this crate should only be a build dependency, no? – Chayim Friedman Commented Nov 16, 2024 at 19:27
• @ChayimFriedman - damn nice spot, yeah you are absolutely right, removing it from the [dependencies] and moving it to [build-dependencies] has resolved the problem! I'll admit that I'm not sure why that causes the no_std related error! – letters_and_numbers Commented Nov 16, 2024 at 19:31

Remove wdk-build from [dependencies] (leave it only in [build-dependencies]). This crate is supposed to be used during build, not at runtime, and it makes use of non-#![no_std] crates and features.
