It essentially is a mapping between a type and /// version of that type we can pass back to C (`IntoFfi::Value`). /// /// The main wrinkle is that we need to be able to pass a value back to C in both the success and /// error cases. In the error cases, we don't want there to need to be any cleanup for the foreign /// code to do, and we want the API to be relatively easy to use. /// /// Additionally, the mapping is not consistent for different types. For some rust types, we want to /// convert them to JSON. For some, we want to return an opaque `*mut T` handle. For others, /// we'd like to return by value. /// /// This trait supports those cases by adding some type-level indirection, and allowing both cases /// to be provided (both cases what is done in the error and success cases). /// /// We implement this for the following types: /// /// - `String`, by conversion to `*mut c_char`. Note that the caller (on the other side of the FFI) /// is expected to free this, so you will need to provide them with a destructor for strings, /// which can be done with the [`define_string_destructor!`] macro. /// /// - `()`: as a no-op conversion -- this just allows us to expose functions without a return type /// over the FFI. /// /// - `bool`: is implemented by conversion to `u8` (`0u8` is `false`, `1u8` is `true`, and /// `ffi_default()` is `false`). This is because it doesn't seem to be safe to pass over the FFI /// directly (or at least, doing so might hit a bug in JNA). /// /// - All numeric primitives except `isize`, `usize`, `char`, `i128`, and `u128` are implememented /// by passing directly through (and using `Default::default()` for `ffi_default()`). /// - `isize`, `usize` could be added, but they'd be quite easy to accidentally misuse, so we /// currently omit them. /// - `char` is less easy to misuse, but it's also less clear why you'd want to be doing this. /// If we did ever add this, we'd probably want to convert to a `u32` (similar to how we /// convert `bool` to `u8`) for better ABI stability. /// - `i128` and `u128` do not have a stable ABI, so they cannot be returned across the FFI. /// /// - `Option` where `T` is `IntoFfi`, by returning `IntoFfi::ffi_default()` for `None`. /// /// None of these are directly helpful for user types though, so macros are provided for the /// following cases: /// /// 1. For types which are passed around by an opaque pointer, the macro /// [`implement_into_ffi_by_pointer!`] is provided. /// /// 2. For types which should be returned as a JSON string, the macro /// [`implement_into_ffi_by_json!`] is provided. /// /// See the "Examples" section below for some other cases, such as returning by value. /// /// ## Safety /// /// This is an unsafe trait (implementing it requires `unsafe impl`). This is because we cannot /// guarantee that your type is safe to pass to C. The helpers we've providedĀ as macros should be /// safe to use, and in the cases where a common pattern can't be done both safely and generically, /// we've opted not to provide a macro for it. That said, many of these cases are still safe if you /// meet some relatively basic requirements, see below for examples. /// /// ## Examples /// /// ### Returning types by value /// /// If you want to return a type by value, we don't provide a macro for this, primarially because /// doing so cannot be statically guarantee that it is safe. However, it *is* safe for the cases /// where the type is either `#[repr(C)]` or `#[repr(transparent)]`. If this doesn't hold, you will /// want to use a different option! /// /// Regardless, if this holds, it's fairly simple to implement, for example: /// /// ```rust /// # use ffi_support::IntoFfi; /// #[derive(Default)] /// #[repr(C)] /// pub struct Point { /// pub x: i32, /// pub y: i32, /// } /// /// unsafe impl IntoFfi for Point { /// type Value = Self; /// #[inline] fn ffi_default() -> Self { Default::default() } /// #[inline] fn into_ffi_value(self) -> Self { self } /// } /// ``` /// /// ### Conversion to another type (which is returned over the FFI) /// /// In the FxA FFI, we used to have a `SyncKeys` type, which was converted to a different type before /// returning over the FFI. (The real FxA FFI is a little different, and more complex, but this is /// relatively close, and more widely recommendable than the one the FxA FFI uses): /// /// This is fairly easy to do by performing the conversion inside `IntoFfi`. /// /// ```rust /// # use ffi_support::{self, IntoFfi}; /// # use std::{ptr, os::raw::c_char}; /// pub struct SyncKeys(pub String, pub String); /// /// #[repr(C)] /// pub struct SyncKeysC { /// pub sync_key: *mut c_char, /// pub xcs: *mut c_char, /// } /// /// unsafe impl IntoFfi for SyncKeys { /// type Value = SyncKeysC; /// #[inline] /// fn ffi_default() -> SyncKeysC { /// SyncKeysC { /// sync_key: ptr::null_mut(), /// xcs: ptr::null_mut(), /// } /// } /// /// #[inline] /// fn into_ffi_value(self) -> SyncKeysC { /// SyncKeysC { /// sync_key: ffi_support::rust_string_to_c(self.0), /// xcs: ffi_support::rust_string_to_c(self.1), /// } /// } /// } /// /// // Note: this type manages memory, so you still will want to expose a destructor for this, /// // and possibly implement Drop as well. /// ``` pub unsafe trait IntoFfi: Sized { /// This type must be: /// /// 1. Compatible with C, which is to say `#[repr(C)]`, a numeric primitive, /// another type that has guarantees made about it's layout, or a /// `#[repr(transparent)]` wrapper around one of those. /// /// One could even use `&T`, so long as `T: Sized`, although it's /// extremely dubious to return a reference to borrowed memory over the /// FFI, since it's very difficult for the caller to know how long it /// remains valid. /// /// 2. Capable of storing an empty/ignorable/default value. /// /// 3. Capable of storing the actual value. /// /// Valid examples include: /// /// - Primitive numbers (other than i128/u128) /// /// - #[repr(C)] structs containing only things on this list. /// /// - `Option>`, but only if `T` is `Sized`. (Internally this is /// guaranteed to be represented equivalently to a pointer) /// /// - Raw pointers such as `*const T`, and `*mut T`, but again, only if `T` /// is `Sized` (`*const [T]`, `*mut dyn SomeTrait` etc are not valid). /// /// - Enums with a fixed `repr`, although it's a good idea avoid /// `#[repr(C)]` enums in favor of, say, `#[repr(i32)]` (for example, any /// fixed type there should be fine), as it's potentially error prone to /// access `#[repr(C)]` enums from Android over JNA (it's only safe if C's /// `sizeof(int) == 4`, which is very common, but not universally true). /// /// - `&T`/`&mut T` where `T: Sized` but only if you really know what you're /// doing, because this is probably a mistake. /// /// Invalid examples include things like `&str`, `&[T]`, `String`, `Vec`, /// `std::ffi::CString`, `&std::ffi::CStr`, etc. type Value; /// Return an 'empty' value.
