ridl_loopback/
lib.rs

1//! `ridl-loopback` — the in-process reference runtime.
2//!
3//! This crate implements the twelve port traits of
4//! [`ridl_rt::port`](https://docs.rs/ridl-rt) over one in-memory store. It is
5//! the first runtime in this workspace (ADR-0020 decision 6, which names the
6//! crate and fixes `ridl-rt` as its only dependency), and it is what the
7//! generated interaction face runs against in a test, an example or a
8//! single-process application.
9//!
10//! What it is not:
11//!
12//! - **Not a transport.** It carries no frame, opens no socket and has no wire
13//!   format. A value published here is read here, in the same process.
14//! - **Not the engine.** The store below is a map and a queue, not the seqlock
15//!   store, the sans-IO session, the platform traits and the scheduler, which
16//!   are outside this repository.
17//! - **Not a checker.** Payload bytes are opaque to it: it carries them and
18//!   never verifies one. `Payload::verify` is the generated face's, on both
19//!   sides.
20//!
21//! # The handles
22//!
23//! A runtime presents one handle type per port role rather than one type
24//! implementing them all, and may also offer an aggregate handle covering the
25//! port set one interface's face needs (ADR-0021 decision 12). This crate
26//! offers both. Its six handles group eleven roles the way that decision
27//! derives the threading split: a handle each for the five roles with a
28//! `&mut self` method, and one handle for the six whose methods all take
29//! `&self`, which are exactly the roles several threads may hold at once. The
30//! twelfth port trait, `Wakeable`, is implemented on every handle, because
31//! each handle wakes its own waiters (see "Waking" below).
32//! [`Loopback`] is the aggregate: it implements all twelve port traits by
33//! delegating to the six role handles it holds, and it is what a generated
34//! `Client`, `Publisher` or `dispatch` is normally built over.
35//!
36//! ```
37//! use ridl_loopback::Loopback;
38//! use ridl_rt::contract::{CatalogHash, CatalogRef, InterfaceNo, Ordinal};
39//! use ridl_rt::port::{SignalReader, SignalWriter};
40//!
41//! let catalog = CatalogRef { name: "face.demo", hash: CatalogHash([0u8; 32]) };
42//! let mut rt = Loopback::new(catalog);
43//!
44//! rt.set(InterfaceNo(1), Ordinal(1), &[42]).expect("staged");
45//! rt.commit();
46//!
47//! let mut out = [0u8; 8];
48//! let sample = rt.read(InterfaceNo(1), Ordinal(1), &mut out).expect("read");
49//! assert_eq!(&out[..sample.len], &[42]);
50//! ```
51//!
52//! [`Loopback::split`] hands out the six role handles for a program that wants
53//! them apart — one thread reading while another publishes, or two callers on
54//! one provider. [`ReaderHandle`] is `Send + Sync`; the other five are `Send`
55//! and driven by one thread each. Nothing here declares either: both follow
56//! from the fields, and the assertions at the bottom of this file pin them.
57//!
58//! # What it reports, and what it cannot
59//!
60//! The loopback holds no catalog descriptor — the descriptor and the catalog
61//! hash arrive with story E16.2 (driftsys/ridl#378) — so it has no member
62//! table, and there is no ordinal it can call unknown, no member it can call
63//! unowned, and no timing annotation it can measure a value's freshness or a
64//! call's remaining time against. What it therefore never returns:
65//! `WriteError::NotOwner`, `RaiseError::NotOwner`, `ServeError::NotOwner`, any
66//! port error's `Contract` variant except
67//! [`FixedReader::read_fixed`](ridl_rt::port::FixedReader::read_fixed)'s, and
68//! `Freshness::Fresh` or `Freshness::Stale`. Nothing detaches, because every
69//! handle holds the store alive, so `Detached` never appears either. The one
70//! bound is the call table's [`Loopback::SLOTS`]: a send with every slot
71//! taken answers `SendError::Busy`. Nothing else is bounded, so `TooLarge`
72//! appears only from [`Loopback::fail_next_settle`], and `Transport::Busy`
73//! reaches a caller only when a provider settles a call with it.
74//!
75//! # Waking
76//!
77//! Every handle implements [`Wakeable`], and a handle stores a waker only
78//! under a kind of key one of its roles observes: a caller handle under
79//! `Interest::Outcome`, kept with each call, and one waker under
80//! `Interest::Slot`, a source handle one waker under `Interest::Event`, and a
81//! handler handle one waker under `Interest::Claim`.
82//! For `Event` and `Claim` the rule is one waker per kind, and a change to
83//! any key of the kind wakes the stored waker, whatever interface it was
84//! registered under (ADR-0021 decision 13); an `Outcome` waker is per call,
85//! and no change but that call's settlement, its `forget`, or the drop of the
86//! caller handle that sent it wakes it (a displacement by another task does,
87//! as for every kind). A settlement wakes the
88//! call's waiter, a raise wakes each source it queues the occurrence for, and
89//! a send wakes each handler that serves the member, and a reclaimed slot of
90//! the call table wakes every caller's `Slot` waiter. A registration whose key
91//! already holds — the outcome is known, an occurrence or a call is waiting, a
92//! slot is free — is woken at once, and so is one under a kind the handle does
93//! not observe. A registration of the waker already stored refreshes it
94//! without waking it. No waker is woken while the store is locked.
95//!
96//! [`Attached::catalog`](ridl_rt::port::Attached::catalog) returns the
97//! `CatalogRef` the runtime was built with, unexamined. ADR-0021 decision 3
98//! places a check of it against the interface's own `CATALOG` in a generated
99//! face's constructor, once, when the face is built; the constructor the Rust
100//! backend emits today performs no such check (driftsys/ridl#448). Either way
101//! it is the face's check and not the runtime's: the loopback carries the
102//! value and compares nothing.
103//!
104//! The crate's as-built design record, with the reasoning behind each of these
105//! choices, is `docs/design/ridl-loopback.md` in this repository.
