natives.rs

1//! Standard native (FFI) table shipped with the facade.
2//!
3//! # Why Message make/unpack lives here (not as new opcodes)
4//!
5//! [`crate::Value::Message`] is already a first-class wire/register value
6//! (ABI v2). Building and tearing it apart in bytecode could be ISA ops
7//! (`MakeMessage`, `MsgSender`, …), but that would burn opcode space and
8//! force every embedder that never does request-reply to carry the
9//! dispatch cost. Natives keep the envelope **generic in the core** while
10//! the std table opts into the helpers — same pattern as `print` / `now_ms`
11//! (design notes §30-31): host Rust owns the operation, bytecode only
12//! picks a slot.
13//!
14//! # Stable indices are an embed contract
15//!
16//! Flash / separately-built `.bf` modules hard-code `CallNative` indices.
17//! Renumbering an existing slot is a **breaking** change. Keep
18//! [`std_native_map`] and [`std_native_table`] in lockstep; append only.
19//!
20//! | Index | Name | Role |
21//! |------:|------|------|
22//! | 0 | `print` | host stdout log line (flow-visible) |
23//! | 1 | `now_ms` | wall-clock millis as `Value::Int` |
24//! | 2 | `make_msg` | build [`crate::Message`] from four scalars (**untrusted** `sender`) |
25//! | 3 | `msg_sender` | extract `sender` → `Value::Pid` (authenticated **after** delivery) |
26//! | 4 | `msg_request_id` | extract `request_id` → `Value::Int` |
27//! | 5 | `msg_tag` | extract `tag` → `Value::Int` |
28//! | 6 | `msg_payload` | extract `payload` → `Value::Int` |
29//! | 7 | `msg_reply_cap` | extract `reply_cap` → `Value::Cap` (SEND grant) |
30//!
31//! # `CallNative` argument layout
32//!
33//! `CallNative ra, fb, nc` takes args from `r[a .. a+nc]` and writes the
34//! result back into `r[a]` — so a call **destroys** the first argument
35//! register. Samples that need to keep a `Message` while unpacking must
36//! `Move` it into the dest register first (see
37//! [`crate::samples::atomic_request_reply`]).
