This shows some of the ugliness of the rust borrow checker when it comes to
safely implementing any sort of recursive access and the need to be overly
explicit about which types are actually used across threads and which aren't.
We're forced to use an `Arc` for `ItemMaker` (née `item_maker_t`) because
there's no other way to make it clear that its lifetime will last longer than
the FdMonitor's. But once we've created an `Arc<T>` we can't call
`Arc::get_mut()` to get an `&mut T` once we've created even a single weak
reference to the Arc (because that weak ref could be upgraded to a strong ref at
any time). This means we need to finish configuring any non-atomic properties
(such as `ItemMaker::always_exit`) before we initialize the callback (which
needs an `Arc<ItemMaker>` to do its thing).
Because rust doesn't like self-referential types and because of the fact that we
now need to create both the `ItemMaker` and the `FdMonitorItem` separately
before we set the callback (at which point it becomes impossible to get a
mutable reference to the `ItemMaker`), `ItemMaker::item` is dropped from the
struct and we instead have the "constructor" for `ItemMaker` take a reference to
an `FdMonitor` instance and directly add itself to the monitor's set, meaning we
don't need to move the item out of the `ItemMaker` in order to add it to the
`FdMonitor` set later.
CXX does not allow generic types like maybe_t. When porting a C++ function
that returns maybe_t to Rust, we return std::unique_ptr instead. Let's make
the transition more seamless by allowing to convert back to maybe_t implicitly.

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.
The way cxx bridge works, it doesn't recognize any types from another module as
being shared cxx bridge types with generations native to both C++ and Rust,
meaning every module that was going to use function pointers would have to
define its own `c_void` type (because cxx bridge doesn't recognize any of
libc::c_void, std::ffi::c_void, or autocxx::c_void).
FFI on other platforms has long used the equivalent of `uint8_t *` as an
alternative to `void *` for code where `void` was not available or was
undesirable for some reason. We can join the club - this way we can always use
`* {const|mut} u8` in our rust code and `uint8_t *` in our C++ code to pass
around parameters or values over the C abi.
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.
Keeps the location of original function definition, and also stores
where it was copied. `functions` and `type` show both locations,
instead of none. It also retains the line numbers in the stack trace.
By default, fish does not complete files that have leading dots, unless the
wildcard itself has a leading dot. However this also affected completions;
for example `git add` would not offer `.gitlab-ci.yml` because it has a
leading dot.
Relax this for custom completions. Default file expansion still
suppresses leading dots, but now custom completions can create
leading-dot completions and they will be offered.
Fixes#3707.
When we draw the prompt, we move the cursor to the actual
position *we* think it is by issuing a carriage return (via
`move(0,0)`), and then going forward until we hit the spot.
This helps when the terminal and fish disagree on the width of the
prompt, because we are now definitely in the correct place, so we can
only overwrite a bit of the prompt (if it renders longer than we
expected) or leave space after the prompt. Both of these are benign in
comparison to staircase effects we would otherwise get.
Unfortunately, midnight commander ("mc") tries to extract the last
line of the prompt, and does so in a way that is overly naive - it
resets everything to 0 when it sees a `\r`, and doesn't account for
cursor movement. In effect it's playing a terminal, but not committing
to the bit.
Since this has been an open request in mc for quite a while, we hack
around it, by checking the $MC_SID environment variable.
If we see it, we skip the clearing. We end up most likely doing
relative movement from where we think we are, and in most cases it
should be *fine*.
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 initial port of feature flags requires a global initialization. Since
fish_indent accesses feature flags, let's make sure to initialize them here.
In future, we can stop initializing things fish_indent doesn't need (like
the topic monitor) but that's no big deal. Global initialization should
always be a benign addition.
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.
This works around an autocxx limitations where different types cannot
have the same name even if they live in different namespace.
ast::job_t conflicts with job_t.
