我怎样才能创建" C Blocks"什么时候使用FFI?

我正在使用OS X上的CoreFoundation框架,但我不知道如何在Rust中映射此函数:

void CFRunLoopPerformBlock(CFRunLoopRef fl, CFTypeRef mode, void (^block)(void));

最后一个参数是void(^block)(void) - 我该如何创建这种类型的参数?

简短,可能是有帮助的答案block crate,看起来它可能会起作用。

简短,无益的答案:就我所知,Rust并不支持Apple的块扩展。假设您要调用期望块的API,则没有等效的Rust类型。

更长,稍微不那么无用的答案:从some Clang documentation on the Apple Block ABI我可以收集到的内容,void(^)(void)与常规指针的大小相同。

因此,我的建议如下:将块视为不透明,指针大小的值。要调用一个,请在C中编写一个函数,为您调用它。

以下是未经测试的(我没有Mac),但至少应该让你朝着正确的方向前进。另外,我标记了这个社区维基,所以可以测试它的任何人都可以在需要时修复它。

在Rust:

// These are the "raw" representations involved.  I'm not using std::raw
// because that's not yet stabilised.
#[deriving(Copy, Clone)]
struct AppleBlock(*const ());

#[deriving(Copy, Clone)]
struct RustClosure(*const(), *const());

// Functions that we need to be written in C:
extern "C" {
    fn rust_closure_to_block(closure_blob: RustClosure) -> AppleBlock;
    fn block_release(block_blob: AppleBlock);
}

// The function that the C code will need.  Note that this is *specific* to
// FnMut() closures.  If you wanted to generalise this, you could write a
// generic version and pass a pointer to that to `rust_closure_to_block`.
extern "C" fn call_rust_closure(closure_blob: RustClosure) {
    let closure_ref: &FnMut() = unsafe { mem::transmute(closure_blob) };
    closure_ref();
}

// This is what you call in order to *temporarily* turn a closure into a
// block.  So, you'd use it as:
//
//     with_closure_as_block(
//         || do_stuff(),
//         |block| CFRunLoopPerformBlock(fl, mode, block)
//     );
fn with_closure_as_block<C, B, R>(closure: C, body: B) -> R
where C: FnMut(), B: FnOnce(block_blob) -> R {
    let closure_ref: &FnMut() = &closure;
    let closure_blob: RustClosure = unsafe { mem::transmute(closure_ref) };
    let block_blob = unsafe { rust_closure_to_block(closure_blob) };
    let r = body(block_blob);
    unsafe { block_release(block_blob) };
    r
}

在C:

typedef struct AppleBlock {
    void *ptr;
} AppleBlock;

typedef struct RustClosure {
    void *ptr;
    void *vt;
} RustClosure;

void call_rust_closure(RustClosure closure_blob);

AppleBlock rust_closure_to_block(RustClosure closure_blob) {
    return (AppleBlock)Block_copy(^() {
        call_rust_closure(closure_blob);
    });
}

// I'm not using Block_release directly because I don't know if or how
// blocks change name mangling or calling.  You might be able to just
// use Block_release directly from Rust.
void block_release(AppleBlock block) {
    Block_release((void (^)(void))block);
}
