How to use the stdlib/CF in DriverKit?

Question

I am porting some code with heavy use of stdlib and CF.

Linking against CF produces the error: CoreFoundation is not available when building for DriverKit.

I get errors like error: no member named 'clock_t' in the global namespace.

What is the correct approach here?

Could I statically link stdlib?

Should I move my processing code to a separate process?

In this talk it is also mentioned that you can use Core Foundation in DriverKit...

In the 702 session, he is talking about being able to use frameworks from System Extensions, not DriverKit Extensions. He explicitly states that DriverKit extensions are the exception.

The context that you DEXT runs in is very limited. You are not able to use Core Foundation and similar libraries.
