ffi | A Foreign Function Call Through the TIOBE Top | Wrapper library

kandi X-RAY | ffi Summary
The "and some" being due to TIOBE Top 20 being a shitty index and lacked some of the most interesting languages. The call starts in Java and proceeds through the chain (with highlights such as PL/PGSQL, VisualBasic and bash) and ends up in a kernel module providing the much needed "leftpad" functionality. This will probably be almost impossible to reproduce as I did some pretty dirty hacks to make this even work, but I warmly invite you to try. I did all of this on a sort-of up-to-date debian stable with mono, jxcore, postgres and go built from source. I can send you a copy of the ~10GB debian VM image I used to develop this, just ``/query`` me on freenode.

QUESTION
Both in ffi tutorials and in automatically generated interfaces, *const T
pointers are used most of the time. As far as I know the difference between &T
and *const T
is only that *const T
doesn't have to fulfill certain conditions like not being null and is unsafe to dereference.
ANSWER
Answered 2022-Apr-05 at 10:07An element of answer can probably be found in the fact that references must be aligned. As using un-aligned references is undefined behaviour, and the alignment of the pointers cannot be guaranteed in FFIs, defaulting to pointers seems to be a sane choice

I've created rust bindings to a C library and currently writing safe wrappers around it.
The question is about C functions which take in C function pointers which are not able to take in any custom user data.
It is easier to explain it with an example,
C Library:
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-25 at 22:52First off, this is a pretty hard problem to solve. Obviously, you need some way to pass data into a function outside of its arguments. However, pretty any method of doing that via a static
could easily result in race conditions or worse, depending on what the c library does and how the library is used. The other option is to JIT some glue code that calls your closure. At first glance, that seems even worse, but libffi abstracts most of that away. A wrapper using the libffi crate would like this:

...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-25 at 12:33When you return a struct by value from C to Dart, the struct is copied into a relocatable memory block that's fully managed by Dart.
Dart doesn't provide an API that exposes the underlying address of these objects, and so if you need to pass that data to C by reference, you'll need to store it in a non-relocatable native memory region (i.e. heap allocate it or use global C state) and keep track of a pointer to it on the Dart side.
If you can't (or would prefer not to) modify the C++ library, you could use the Dart FFI package to call malloc()
and then copy the struct into the newly allocated space with ref=
setter.

I am trying to run this example from github: https://github.com/nh2/haskell-from-python/blob/master/Makefile I wanted to get an introduction to running one language from another language. I'm not sure if FFI is playing a role here somehow, I just don't know enough to tell.
I am running the code on WSL - debian. I also tried running it on windows, but I get the same issue. My error is after running 'make' and then 'python program.py' I get:

Answered 2021-Dec-25 at 01:33I've tried to duplicate your problem with a fresh Debian under WSL install. I'm running Debian "bullseye" under WSL 1 under Windows 10. That Debian version must be a little newer than yours, since the GHC packages are version 8.8.4 instead of 8.4.4, but that seems to be the only difference.
Using a clean copy of that Git repository (commit 9c3b6315

QUESTION
Please help, I have just paid for some development work and gotten the app back. The Developer claims they have no problem running the app. I can not get it to run on my machine. The app was running before the developer added state management via block.
It looks like package/cocoapods/Xcode error which should be resolvable using latest versions, but nothing I can do clears these errors. Every time I get close I run again and all the errors come right back. I am in an endless troubleshooting loop without resolution. I am a beginner and can not afford to pay the developer $50hr to troubleshoot why an app won't run on my computer so I am tools down and stalled until I get this issue resolved.
I have reinstalled Cocoapods. I have tried deleting PODS file. I have tried using an old PODS file. I have ensured it is the right version for M1 with the ffi arch install. I have updated my developer certificate. Pasted Arch 86 into Xcode settings. Set versions to the latest for deployment. I have even wiped my Mac out completely and reinstalled ALL environments from scratch but the errors persist. I have done flutter clean and Flutter pub get and flutter build iOS and flutter run 1000 times in the last week. I can not get this app to build for iOS and I am losing my mind. I have been trying to get it to run for almost 2 weeks! Developer spent an hour with me and all they asked me to do was all the stuff I have already done by searching online for known issues. I am out of ideas. I need help to solve this. PLEASE HELP
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jul-27 at 03:55Got it resolved. I went back to my last working version before I hired the Developers and it runs just fine. So I pasted their lib in.... and that errored. They looked at error and it was because I needed to paste in the intl file and then fix a couple settings in Xcode. None of us knows why it was erroring on my computer only or why pasting their lib into my last working copy worked, but it is resolved. I suspect it was a Git conflict, because of the latest update to Xcode but we really don't know why. But it is resolved.
Thank-you to those who tried to help.
QUESTION
I'm writing a foreign function interface (ffi) to expose the API of a pre-existing C++ library to some new Rust code I am writing. I am using the Rust cxx
module for this.
I am running into some problems related to Pin
(a topic which I have to admit I don't have a complete grasp of).
My C++ module has an API that exposes pointers to some contained objects from the main object that owns these contained objects. Here is a contrived example:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Aug-19 at 02:18
- Is it sound for me to call
Pin::new_unchecked
here?
Yes, it's sound. In this context, we know the Row
is pinned because:
- The
Table
is pinned; - The
Row
is stored inline in theTable
; - C++'s move semantics essentially means every C++ object is "pinned" anyway.
- This program fails to compile with the following error:
When you call a method on a normal mutable reference (&mut T
), the compiler implicitly performs a reborrow in order to avoid moving the mutable reference, because &mut T
is not Copy
. Unfortunately, this compiler "magic" doesn't extend to Pin<&mut T>
(which is not Copy
either), so instead we must reborrow explicitly.
The easiest way to reborrow is to use Pin::as_mut()
. This use case is even called out in the documentation:
This method is useful when doing multiple calls to functions that consume the pinned type.
