samp_sdk/omp/timers.rs
1//! Bindings for the Open Multiplayer `ITimersComponent` interface.
2//!
3//! Open Multiplayer has no native `ProcessTick`-equivalent callback for
4//! components. To deliver the SDK's unified [`SampPlugin::on_tick`] on this
5//! server, the `samp` crate installs a repeating timer through this
6//! interface in `on_ready` and routes its timeout into the plugin.
7//!
8//! The interval is whatever the plugin requested via
9//! `samp::plugin::enable_tick_with(TickConfig::new().omp_interval(...))`,
10//! or 5 ms by default (from `enable_tick()`).
11//!
12//! [`SampPlugin::on_tick`]: ../../../samp/plugin/trait.SampPlugin.html#method.on_tick
13//!
14//! ## Primary `ITimersComponent` vtable
15//!
16//! The slot numbering differs per ABI, because Itanium emits two destructor
17//! slots (D1 + D0) where MSVC emits a single scalar deleting one, and because
18//! Itanium places the `getUID()` override (from `PROVIDE_UID`) in the primary
19//! vtable while MSVC keeps it in the secondary `IUIDProvider` vtable.
20//!
21//! **Itanium ABI** — confirmed by `nm`/vtable dump of the official `Timers.so`:
22//! `[0..3]` `IExtensible`, `[4..5]` destructors, `[6..16]` `IComponent`,
23//! **[17]** `getUID()`, **[18]** `create(handler, interval, repeating)`,
24//! `[19]` `create(handler, initial, interval, count)`, `[20]` `count()`.
25//!
26//! **MSVC ABI** — confirmed by RTTI + vtable dump of the official `Timers.dll`:
27//! `[0..3]` `IExtensible`, `[4]` destructor, `[5..15]` `IComponent`,
28//! `[16]` `create(handler, initial, interval, count)`,
29//! **[17]** `create(handler, interval, repeating)`, `[18]` `count()`.
30//!
31//! Note the reversal: MSVC emits an overload set in **reverse declaration
32//! order**, so the two `create` overloads swap places against Itanium. Verified
33//! by disassembly — slot [16] ends in `ret 0x18` (24 bytes of arguments, the
34//! four-argument overload) and slot [17] in `ret 0x10` (16 bytes, the one the
35//! SDK calls).
36//!
37//! ## `ITimer` vtable (slots starting from `IExtensible`)
38//!
39//! `ITimer` declares no destructor of its own, but inherits the virtual
40//! `~IExtensible()`, so the same D1/D0 shift applies.
41//!
42//! | Method | Itanium | MSVC |
43//! |------------------------|---------|------|
44//! | `IExtensible` (4) | [0..3] | [0..3] |
45//! | destructor | [4..5] | [4] |
46//! | `running() const` | [6] | [5] |
47//! | `remaining() const` | [7] | [6] |
48//! | `calls() const` | [8] | [7] |
49//! | `interval() const` | [9] | [8] |
50//! | `trigger()` | [10] | [9] |
51//! | `kill()` | [11] | [10] |
52//! | `handler() const` | [12] | [11] |
53//!
54//! ## `TimerTimeOutHandler` vtable (interface provided by the plugin)
55//!
56//! No virtual destructor in the header -> 2 slots only:
57//! - **[0]** `timeout(ITimer&)`
58//! - **[1]** `free(ITimer&)`
