1//! # AutoCore Standard Library
2//!
3//! The standard library for writing AutoCore control programs. This crate provides
4//! everything you need to build real-time control applications that integrate with
5//! the AutoCore server ecosystem.
6//!
7//! ## Overview
8//!
9//! AutoCore control programs run as separate processes that communicate with the
10//! autocore-server via shared memory and IPC. This library handles all the low-level
11//! details, allowing you to focus on your control logic.
12//!

26//! ```
27//!
28//! ## Quick Start
29//!
30//! 1. Create a new control project using `acctl`:
31//!    ```bash
32//!    acctl clone <server-ip> <project-name>
33//!    ```
34//!
35//! 2. Implement the [`ControlProgram`] trait:
36//!    ```ignore
37//!    use autocore_std::{ControlProgram, TickContext};
38//!    use autocore_std::fb::RTrig;
39//!
40//!    // GlobalMemory is generated from your project.json
41//!    mod gm;
42//!    use gm::GlobalMemory;
43//!
44//!    pub struct MyProgram {
45//!        start_button: RTrig,
46//!    }
47//!
48//!    impl MyProgram {
49//!        pub fn new() -> Self {
50//!            Self {
51//!                start_button: RTrig::new(),
52//!            }
53//!        }
54//!    }
55//!
56//!    impl ControlProgram for MyProgram {
57//!        type Memory = GlobalMemory;
58//!
59//!        fn process_tick(&mut self, ctx: &mut TickContext<Self::Memory>) {
60//!            // Detect rising edge on start button
61//!            if self.start_button.call(ctx.gm.inputs.start_button) {
62//!                ctx.gm.outputs.motor_running = true;
63//!                autocore_std::log::info!("Motor started!");
64//!            }
65//!        }
66//!    }
67//!    ```
68//!
69//! 3. Use the [`autocore_main!`] macro for the entry point:
70//!    ```ignore
71//!    autocore_std::autocore_main!(MyProgram, "my_project_shm", "tick");
72//!    ```
73//!
74//! ## Function Blocks (IEC 61131-3 Inspired)
75//!
76//! This library includes standard function blocks commonly used in PLC programming:
77//!
78//! - [`fb::RTrig`] - Rising edge detector (false→true transition)
79//! - [`fb::FTrig`] - Falling edge detector (true→false transition)
80//! - [`fb::Ton`] - Timer On Delay (output after delay)
81//! - [`fb::BitResetOnDelay`] - Resets a boolean after it has been true for a duration
82//! - [`fb::SimpleTimer`] - Simple one-shot timer (NOT IEC 61131-3, for imperative use)
83//! - [`fb::StateMachine`] - State machine helper with automatic timer management
84//! - [`fb::RunningAverage`] - Accumulates values and computes their arithmetic mean
85//! - [`fb::Beeper`] - Audible beeper controller with configurable beep sequences
86//! - [`fb::Heartbeat`] - Monitors a remote heartbeat counter for connection loss
87//!
88//! ### Example: Edge Detection
89//!
90//! ```
91//! use autocore_std::fb::RTrig;
92//!
93//! let mut trigger = RTrig::new();
94//!
95//! // First call with false - no edge
96//! assert_eq!(trigger.call(false), false);
97//!
98//! // Rising edge detected!
99//! assert_eq!(trigger.call(true), true);
100//!
101//! // Still true, but no edge (already high)
102//! assert_eq!(trigger.call(true), false);
103//!
104//! // Back to false
105//! assert_eq!(trigger.call(false), false);
106//!
107//! // Another rising edge
108//! assert_eq!(trigger.call(true), true);
109//! ```
110//!
111//! ### Example: Timer
112//!
113//! ```
114//! use autocore_std::fb::Ton;
115//! use std::time::Duration;
116//!
117//! let mut timer = Ton::new();
118//! let delay = Duration::from_millis(100);
119//!
120//! // Timer not enabled - output is false
121//! assert_eq!(timer.call(false, delay), false);
122//!
123//! // Enable timer - starts counting
124//! assert_eq!(timer.call(true, delay), false);
125//!
126//! // Still counting...
127//! std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(50));
128//! assert_eq!(timer.call(true, delay), false);
129//! assert!(timer.et < delay); // Elapsed time < preset
130//!
131//! // After delay elapsed
132//! std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(60));
133//! assert_eq!(timer.call(true, delay), true); // Output is now true!
134//! ```
135//!
136//! ## Logging
137//!
138//! Control programs can send log messages to the autocore-server for display in the
139//! web console. Logging is handled automatically when using [`ControlRunner`].
140//!
141//! ```ignore
142//! use autocore_std::log;
143//!
144//! log::trace!("Detailed trace message");
145//! log::debug!("Debug information");
146//! log::info!("Normal operation message");
147//! log::warn!("Warning condition detected");
148//! log::error!("Error occurred!");
149//! ```
150//!
151//! See the [`logger`] module for advanced configuration.
152//!
153//! ## Memory Synchronization
154//!
155//! The [`ControlRunner`] handles all shared memory synchronization automatically:
156//!
157//! 1. **Wait for tick** - Blocks until the server signals a new cycle
158//! 2. **Read inputs** - Copies shared memory to local buffer (atomic snapshot)
159//! 3. **Execute logic** - Your `process_tick` runs on the local buffer
160//! 4. **Write outputs** - Copies local buffer back to shared memory
161//!
162//! This ensures your control logic always sees a consistent view of the data,
163//! even when other processes are modifying shared memory.

287///

301///
302/// Implement this trait to create your control program. The associated `Memory`
303/// type should be the generated `GlobalMemory` struct from your project.
304///
305/// # Memory Type Requirements
306///
307/// The `Memory` type must implement `Copy` to allow efficient synchronization
308/// between shared memory and local buffers. This is automatically satisfied
309/// by the generated `GlobalMemory` struct.
310///
311/// # Lifecycle
312///
313/// 1. `initialize` is called once at startup
314/// 2. `process_tick` is called repeatedly in the control loop with a
315///    [`TickContext`] that provides shared memory, the IPC client, and the
316///    current cycle number.
317///
318/// # Example
319///
320/// ```ignore
321/// use autocore_std::{ControlProgram, TickContext};
322///
323/// mod gm;
324/// use gm::GlobalMemory;
325///
326/// pub struct MyController {
327///     cycle_counter: u64,
328/// }
329///
330/// impl MyController {
331///     pub fn new() -> Self {
332///         Self { cycle_counter: 0 }
333///     }
334/// }
335///
336/// impl ControlProgram for MyController {
337///     type Memory = GlobalMemory;
338///
339///     fn initialize(&mut self, mem: &mut GlobalMemory) {
340///         // Set initial output states
341///         mem.outputs.ready = true;
342///         log::info!("Controller initialized");
343///     }
344///
345///     fn process_tick(&mut self, ctx: &mut TickContext<Self::Memory>) {
346///         self.cycle_counter = ctx.cycle;
347///
348///         // Your control logic here
349///         if ctx.gm.inputs.start && !ctx.gm.inputs.estop {
350///             ctx.gm.outputs.running = true;

467/// The main execution engine for control programs.
468///
469/// `ControlRunner` handles all the infrastructure required to run a control program:
470///
471/// - Reading memory layout from the server's layout file
472/// - Opening and mapping shared memory
473/// - Setting up synchronization signals
474/// - Running the real-time control loop
475/// - Sending log messages to the server
476///
477/// # Usage
478///
479/// ```ignore
480/// use autocore_std::{ControlRunner, RunnerConfig};
481///
482/// let config = RunnerConfig {
483///     shm_name: "my_project_shm".to_string(),
484///     tick_signal_name: "tick".to_string(),
485///     ..Default::default()
486/// };
487///
488/// ControlRunner::new(MyProgram::new())
489///     .config(config)
490///     .run()?;  // Blocks forever
491/// ```
492///
493/// # Control Loop
494///
495/// The runner executes a synchronous control loop:
496///
497/// 1. **Wait** - Blocks until the tick signal is set by the server
498/// 2. **Read** - Copies shared memory to a local buffer (acquire barrier)
499/// 3. **Execute** - Calls your `process_tick` method
500/// 4. **Write** - Copies local buffer back to shared memory (release barrier)
501/// 5. **Signal** - Sets the busy signal (if configured) to indicate completion
502///
503/// This ensures your code always sees a consistent snapshot of the data
504/// and that your writes are atomically visible to other processes.

1006/// This macro reduces boilerplate by creating a properly configured `main`

1008///
1009/// # Arguments
1010///
1011/// * `$prog_type` - The type of your control program (must implement [`ControlProgram`])
1012/// * `$shm_name` - The shared memory segment name (string literal)
1013/// * `$tick_signal` - The tick signal name in shared memory (string literal)
1014///
1015/// # Example
1016///
1017/// ```ignore
