Largely routine but for the trampolines in iothread.h and iothread.cpp which
were a real PITA to get correct w/ all their variants.
Integration is complete with all old code ripped out and the tests using the
rust version of the code.
The translation is fairly direct though it adds some duplication, for example
there are multiple "match" statements that mimic function overloading.
Rust has no overloading, and we cannot have generic methods in the Node trait
(due to a Rust limitation, the error is like "cannot be made into an object")
so we include the type name in method names.
Give clients like "indent_visitor_t" a Rust companion ("IndentVisitor")
that takes care of the AST traversal while the AST consumption remains
in C++ for now. In future, "IndentVisitor" should absorb the entirety of
"indent_visitor_t". This pattern requires that "fish_indent" be exposed
includable header to the CXX bridge.
Alternatively, we could define FFI wrappers for recursive AST traversal.
Rust requires we separate the AST visitors for "mut" and "const"
scenarios. Take this opportunity to concretize both visitors:
The only client that requires mutable access is the populator. To match the
structure of the C++ populator which makes heavy use of function overloading,
we need to add a bunch of functions to the trait. Since there is no other
mutable visit, this seems acceptable.
The "const" visitors never use "will_visit_fields_of()" or
"did_visit_fields_of()", so remove them (though this is debatable).
Like in the C++ implementation, the AST nodes themselves are largely defined
via macros. Union fields like "Statement" and "ArgumentOrRedirection"
do currently not use macros but may in future.
This commit also introduces a precedent for a type that is defined in one
CXX bridge and used in another one - "ParseErrorList". To make this work
we need to manually define "ExternType".
There is one annoyance with CXX: functions that take explicit lifetime
parameters require to be marked as unsafe. This makes little sense
because functions that return `&Foo` with implicit lifetime can be
misused the same way on the C++ side.
One notable change is that we cannot directly port "find_block_open_keyword()"
(which is used to compute an error) because it relies on the stack of visited
nodes. We cannot modify a stack of node references while we do the "mut"
walk. Happily, an idiomatic solution is easy: we can tell the AST visitor
to backtrack to the parent node and create the error there.
Since "node_t::accept_base" is no longer a template we don't need the
"node_visitation_t" trampoline anymore.
The added copying at the FFI boundary makes things slower (memcpy dominates
the profile) but it's not unusable, which is good news:

Leftovers:
- Enum variants are still snakecase; I didn't get around to changing this yet.
- "ast_type_to_string()" still returns a snakecase name. This could be
changed since it's not user visible.
Most of it is duplicated, hence untested.
Functions like mbrtowc are not exposed by the libc crate, so declare them
ourselves.
Since we don't know the definition of C macros, add two big hacks to make
this work:
1. Replace MB_LEN_MAX and mbstate_t with values (resp types) that should
be large enough for any implementation.
2. Detect the definition of MB_CUR_MAX in the build script. This requires
more changes for each new libc. We could also use this approach for 1.
Additionally, this commit brings a small behavior change to
read_unquoted_escape(): we cannot decode surrogate code points like \UDE01
into a Rust char, so use � (\UFFFD, replacement character) instead.
Previously, we added such code points to a wcstring; looks like they were
ignored when printed.
This should be used in lieu of manually targeting individual operating systems
when using features shared by all BSD families.
e.g. instead of
#[cfg(any(target_os = "freebsd", target_os = "dragonflybsd", ...))]
fn foo() { }
you would use
#[cfg(feature = "bsd")]
fn foo() { }
This feature is automatically detected at build-time (see build.rs changes) and
should *not* be enabled manually. Additionally, this feature may not be used to
conditionally require any other dependency, as that isn't supported for
auto-enabled features.
Currently the `autocxx` generated code does not produce any code intelligence
because `rust-analyzer` can't find the generated code since it's not in the
workspace. Here, we detect `rust-analyzer` by checking for a `RUSTC_WRAPPER`
environment variable containing `rust-analyzer` and changing (or avoid changing)
the output directory accordingly.
Closes#9654.
This is one of the few warnings we disable due to false positives. Let's also
disable it in the preprocessing steps needed for the Rust build.
Other warnings we ignore are -Wno-address -Wunused-local-typedefs and
-Wunused-macros. I didn't add them here because I don't expect that they
will be triggered by the headers we give to cxx.
More ugliness with types that cxx bridge can't recognize as being POD. Using
pointers to get/set `termios` values with an assert to make sure we're using
identical definitions on both sides (in cpp from the system headers and in rust
from the libc crate as exported).
I don't know why cxx bridge doesn't allow `SharedPtr<OpaqueRustType>` but we can
work around it in C++ by converting a `Box<T>` to a `shared_ptr<T>` then convert
it back when it needs to be destructed. I can't find a clean way of doing it
from the cxx bridge wrapper so for now it needs to be done manually in the C++
code.
Types/values that are drop-in ready over ffi are renamed to match the old cpp
names but for types that now differ due to ffi difficulties I've left the `_ffi`
in the function names to indicate that this isn't the "correct" way of using the
types/methods.
I needed to rename some types already ported to rust so they don't clash with
their still-extant cpp counterparts. Helper ffi functions added to avoid needing
to dynamically allocate an FdMonitorItem for every fd (we use dozens per basic
prompt).
I ported some functions from cpp to rust that are used only in the backend but
without removing their existing cpp counterparts so cpp code can continue to use
their version of them (`wperror` and `make_detached_pthread`).
I ran into issues porting line-by-line logic because rust inverts the behavior
of `std::remove_if(..)` by making it (basically) `Vec::retain_if(..)` so I
replaced bools with an explict enum to make everything clearer.
I'll port the cpp tests for this separately, for now they're using ffi.
Porting closures was ugly. It's nothing hard, but it's very ugly as now each
capturing lambda has been changed into an explicit struct that contains its
parameters (that needs to be dynamically allocated), a standalone callback
(member) function to replace the lambda contents, and a separate trampoline
function to call it from rust over the shared C abi (not really relevant to
x86_64 w/ its single calling convention but probably needed on other platforms).
I don't like that `fd_monitor.rs` has its own `c_void`. I couldn't find a way to
move that to `ffi.rs` but still get cxx bridge to consider it a shared POD.
Every time I moved it to a different module, it would consider it to be an
opaque rust type instead. I worry this means we're going to have multiple
`c_void1`, `c_void2`, etc. types as we continue to port code to use function
pointers.
Also, rust treats raw pointers as foreign so you can't do `impl Send for * const
Foo` even if `Foo` is from the same module. That necessitated a wrapper type
(`void_ptr`) that implements `Send` and `Sync` so we can move stuff between
threads.
The code in fd_monitor_t has been split into two objects, one that is used by
the caller and a separate one associated with the background thread (this is
made nice and clean by rust's ownership model). Objects not needed under the
lock (i.e. accessed by the background thread exclusively) were moved to the
separate `BackgroundFdMonitor` type.
This is early work but I guess there's no harm in pushing it?
Some thoughts on the conventions:
Types that live only inside Rust follow Rust naming convention
("FeatureMetadata").
Types that live on both sides of the language boundary follow the existing
naming ("feature_flag_t").
The alternative is to define a type alias ("using feature_flag_t =
rust::FeatureFlag") but that doesn't seem to be supported in "[cxx::bridge]"
blocks. We could put it in a header ("future_feature_flags.h").
"feature_metadata_t" is a variant of "FeatureMetadata" that can cross
the language boundary. This has the advantage that we can avoid tainting
"FeatureMetadata" with "CxxString" and such. This is an experimental approach,
probably not what we should do in general.
The original implementation without the test took me 3 hours (first time
seriously looking into this)
The functions take "wcharz_t" for smooth integration with existing C++ callers.
This is at the expense of Rust callers, which would prefer "&wstr". Would be
nice to declare a function parameter that accepts both but I don't think
that really works since "wcharz_t" drops the lifetime annotation.
