Linking external libraries in PPAPI plugin

Question

First of all am new to PPAPI plugin development. Earlier i have been using NPAPI plugin to perform certain functionality which in turn uses windows APIs.Now since NPAPI is obsolete, i am trying PPAPI. My question is can i link windows APIs to PPAPI? Is it possible ?

Answer 1

As Bennet mentioned, it is not possible to make calls to the Windows API. If this is necessary for your application, try making a Chrome Extension and using Native Messaging instead.

From the link:

Extensions can exchange messages with native applications. Native applications that support this feature must register a native messaging host that knows how to communicate with the extension. Chrome starts the host in a separate process and communicates with it using standard input and standard output streams.

Answer 2

It is not possible to call Windows functions. If it were, then it would be trivial to escape the NaCl security sandbox.
