QUESTION
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 Config
s, a message (e.g error message, or some warning) and a number of configs.

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:
- In Rust, expose a struct with a length member, and a pointer to a single item.
- In Rust, allocate a vector of our things and use
into_boxed_slice()
to forget it, this gives a pointer to the first one. - 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:

QUESTION
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 11:13A 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.
QUESTION
According the docs:
You can't declare a ref struct as a member of a class or a normal struct.
But I managed to compile and run this:
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Jun-21 at 06:48It 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
.
QUESTION
I followed the tutorial in https://medium.com/learning-the-go-programming-language/calling-go-functions-from-other-languages-4c7d8bcc69bf to make my node app able to call golang function. The provided example works like a charm.
I do, however, unable it to implement in another scenario. Here I want to open a file by providing only it's absolute path and call the Go's function, but it always told me that it can't find the file due to no such file. I'm trying to run it directly in Go and it works!
Am I doing it wrong or is it an actual bug/unfinished feature?

Nesting a ref-struct
instance within another, one of the properties of the nested object is corrupted upon manual garbage collection.

is not corrupted:

Answered 2018-Aug-16 at 06:26While ref
, ref-struct
and ref-array
are powerful, but fragile things, their combination can behave really obscure.
There are two nuances with your sample:
Calling
makeAccessContainerEntry
twice overwrites your global cache -CStrings
cached (global.x0
andglobal.x1
) during themakeAuthGrantedFfiStruct
call will be overwritten by the second directmakeAccessContainerEntry
call.It seems that you should cache each
ContainerInfoArray
too.
This code should work fine:
