            Create struct in C/Rust code for Node-FFI
            Asked 2021-Apr-26 at 07:56

            I am trying to return a struct from a Rust function to Node.js, the struct is nested, and contains an array so it is sufficiently complicated that I want to do the allocation in Rust and have Node.JS receive a complete object, here's the Rust code in short:

            A State is returned that contains a number of Configs, a message (e.g error message, or some warning) and a number of configs.

            and contains an array so it is sufficiently complicated that I want to do the allocation in Rust and have Node.JS receive a complete object,

            Containing an array was the tricky/trap part. Arrays in C (ergo FFI) tend to be zero terminated, but there's no guarantee that things work a particular way for arrays of structs.

            Here's what we had to do:

            1. In Rust, expose a struct with a length member, and a pointer to a single item.
            2. In Rust, allocate a vector of our things and use into_boxed_slice() to forget it, this gives a pointer to the first one.
            3. Fill the length property on our struct

            Everything like in the example we posted first.

            In node.js however it's a bit different, the working code was nearly identical to what we had, here's the types:

            Should ReadOnlySpan parameters use the "in" modifier?
            Asked 2019-Sep-02 at 08:46

            C# 7.2 introduced reference semantics with value-types, and alongside this Microsoft have developed types like Span and ReadOnlySpan to potentially improve performance for apps that need to perform operations on contiguous regions of memory.

            According to the docs, one way of potentially improving performance is to pass immutable structs by reference by adding an in modifier to parameters of those types:

            ANSWER

            Answered 2018-Mar-15 at 11:13

            A key factor here is size; Span / ReadOnlySpan are deliberately very small, so the difference between a span and a reference-to-a-span is tiny. One key usage for in here is for larger readonly structs, to avoid a significant stack copy; note that there's a trade-off: the in is really a ref, so you're adding an extra layer of indirection to all access, unless the JIT sees what you're doing and works some voodoo. And of course: if the type doesn't declare itself as readonly then a stack copy is automatically added before the call to preserve the semantics.

            Why can I declare a ref struct as a member of a class in c#7.3?
            Asked 2019-Jul-12 at 01:23

            According the docs:

            ANSWER

            Answered 2019-Jun-21 at 06:48

            It is not field of your class but rather return value of a property getter - which is fine as it is just function return value.

            Note that "as a member of a class" usually includes properties and probably should be changed to "field of a class".

            If you would try to declare it as a class field (either directly or indirectly via auto-implemented property) this will require part of the class (the data for ref struct) to be allocated on the stack and the rest allocated in manged heap.

            The code in the question defines non-autoimplemented property. As result there is no need for compiler to automatically create hidden field of the property type in the class. So while property result type is ref struct it actually is not stored in the class and hence does not violate requirement for this ref struct type not be included into any class. Note that even making setter method would be fine by itself - storing value for that property would be tricky, but you can safely store content of the ref struct (public int value; as in the post) in set and recreate it in get.

            While ref, ref-struct and ref-array are powerful, but fragile things, their combination can behave really obscure.

            There are two nuances with your sample:

            1. Calling makeAccessContainerEntry twice overwrites your global cache - CStrings cached (global.x0 and global.x1) during the makeAuthGrantedFfiStruct call will be overwritten by the second directmakeAccessContainerEntry call.

            2. It seems that you should cache each ContainerInfoArray too.

            This code should work fine:
