From efbd29926b1b52f84cac629c6a3deca18a480508 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: npiesco Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2026 09:24:29 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] fix(windows): use CoWaitForMultipleHandles for ARM64 WebView2 deadlock On Windows ARM64 (e.g. Snapdragon X Elite), creating a second WebView2 controller from the main STA thread deadlocked in MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx because the nested GetMessage/PeekMessage loop prevented COM from re-entering the apartment to deliver the async completion callback. Replace the mpsc::channel + wait_with_pump pattern in create_environment(), create_controller(), and cookies_inner() with CoWaitForMultipleHandles using COWAIT_DISPATCH_CALLS | COWAIT_DISPATCH_WINDOW_MESSAGES -- the COM-sanctioned mechanism for yielding an STA thread while preserving re-entrancy. Includes unit and integration tests for the new co_wait_for_handle primitive, the Arc>> delivery pattern, COWAIT_DISPATCH_CALLS flag acceptance, and the full create_environment/create_controller paths.
