Indeed, * allocating memory externally is currently the only way to give Rust shared * mut state with C programs that keep their own references; vectors are * unsuitable because they could be reallocated or moved at any time, and * importing C memory into a vector takes a one-time snapshot of the memory. * * This module simplifies the usage of such external blocks of memory. Memory * is encapsulated into an opaque object after creation; the lifecycle of the * memory can be optionally managed by Rust, if an appropriate destructor * closure is provided. Safety is ensured by bounds-checking accesses, which * are marshalled through get and set functions. * * There are three unsafe functions: the two introduction forms, and the * pointer elimination form. The introduction forms are unsafe for the * obvious reason (they act on a pointer that cannot be checked inside the * method), but the elimination form is somewhat more subtle in its unsafety. * By using a pointer taken from a c_vec::t without keeping a reference to the * c_vec::t itself around, the CVec could be garbage collected, and the * memory within could be destroyed. There are legitimate uses for the * pointer elimination form -- for instance, to pass memory back into C -- but * great care must be taken to ensure that a reference to the c_vec::t is * still held if needed. */ /** * The type representing a foreign chunk of memory * */ pub struct CVec { priv base: *mut T, priv len: uint, priv rsrc: @DtorRes } struct DtorRes { dtor: Option<@fn()>, } #[unsafe_destructor] impl Drop for DtorRes { fn finalize(&self) { match self.dtor { option::None => (), option::Some(f) => f() } } } fn DtorRes(dtor: Option<@fn()>) -> DtorRes { DtorRes { dtor: dtor } } /* Section: Introduction forms */ /** * Create a `CVec` from a foreign buffer with a given length. * * # Arguments * * * base - A foreign pointer to a buffer * * len - The number of elements in the buffer */ pub fn CVec(base: *mut T, len: uint) -> CVec { return CVec{ base: base, len: len, rsrc: @DtorRes(option::None) }; } /** * Create a `CVec` from a foreign buffer, with a given length, * and a function to run upon destruction. * * # Arguments * * * base - A foreign pointer to a buffer * * len - The number of elements in the buffer * * dtor - A function to run when the value is destructed, useful * for freeing the buffer, etc. */ pub fn c_vec_with_dtor(base: *mut T, len: uint, dtor: @fn()) -> CVec { return CVec{ base: base, len: len, rsrc: @DtorRes(option::Some(dtor)) }; } /* Section: Operations */ /** * Retrieves an element at a given index * * Fails if `ofs` is greater or equal to the length of the vector */ pub fn get(t: CVec, ofs: uint) -> T { assert!(ofs < len(t)); return unsafe { *ptr::mut_offset(t.base, ofs) }; } /** * Sets the value of an element at a given index * * Fails if `ofs` is greater or equal to the length of the vector */ pub fn set(t: CVec, ofs: uint, v: T) { assert!(ofs < len(t)); unsafe { *ptr::mut_offset(t.base, ofs) = v }; } /* Section: Elimination forms */ /// Returns the length of the vector pub fn len(t: CVec) -> uint { t.len } /// Returns a pointer to the first element of the vector pub fn ptr(t: CVec) -> *mut T { t.base } #[cfg(test)] mod tests { use c_vec::*; use core::libc::*; use core::libc; fn malloc(n: size_t) -> CVec { unsafe { let mem = libc::malloc(n); assert!(mem as int != 0); return c_vec_with_dtor(mem as *mut u8, n as uint, || unsafe { free(mem) }); } } #[test] fn test_basic() { let cv = malloc(16u as size_t); set(cv, 3u, 8u8); set(cv, 4u, 9u8); assert!(get(cv, 3u) == 8u8); assert!(get(cv, 4u) == 9u8); assert!(len(cv) == 16u); } #[test] #[should_fail] #[ignore(cfg(windows))] fn test_overrun_get() { let cv = malloc(16u as size_t); get(cv, 17u); } #[test] #[should_fail] #[ignore(cfg(windows))] fn test_overrun_set() { let cv = malloc(16u as size_t); set(cv, 17u, 0u8); } #[test] fn test_and_I_mean_it() { let cv = malloc(16u as size_t); let p = ptr(cv); set(cv, 0u, 32u8); set(cv, 1u, 33u8); assert!(unsafe { *p } == 32u8); set(cv, 2u, 34u8); /* safety */ } }
