// Obj-C blocks bridged to sx closures. // // Apple's block ABI (clang's "Block Implementation Specification"): a block // pointer is a struct whose first five fields are { isa, flags, reserved, // invoke, descriptor } followed by per-block captured state. When an API // like `[UIView animateWithDuration:animations:]` receives a block, the // runtime reads `invoke` and calls it with the block pointer as the first // argument. UIKit / Foundation callers always `_Block_copy` synchronously // before returning, so a stack-allocated block is safe to pass directly. // // We layer the sx closure onto Apple's layout by appending two pointer // fields to the standard 32-byte header: `sx_env` (the closure's captured // environment pointer) and `sx_fn` (the closure trampoline). The per- // signature `__block_invoke_*` C-ABI fn knows the offsets and calls // through to `sx_fn(sx_env, args...)`. // // ── Lifetime contract ─────────────────────────────────────────────────── // `xx : *Block` returns a pointer into the surrounding sx // function's stack frame. Same rule as `&local_var`: pass it directly to // a callee that consumes it immediately or `_Block_copy`s internally // (UIKit/Foundation always do). Don't store the pointer to use after the // caller returns. If you need that, ship a `Block_copy`-backed sibling // API and use it instead. // Standard 32-byte block header plus two trailing slots for the sx closure // it wraps. Total = 48 bytes. Block :: struct { isa: *void; flags: s32; reserved: s32; invoke: *void; descriptor: *void; sx_env: *void; sx_fn: *void; } // Per-block-shape metadata. The runtime reads `size` when copying the // block to the heap, so it must equal the actual instance size. BlockDescriptor :: struct { reserved: u64; size: u64; } // libSystem isa pointer for stack-allocated blocks. Resolved at link time // (auto-linked on every Apple target via libSystem). _NSConcreteStackBlock : *void #foreign; // Shared descriptor for the 48-byte sx-block layout. All Into impls below // point their `descriptor` field at this. __sx_block_descriptor : BlockDescriptor = .{ reserved = 0, size = 48, }; // M5.A — `xx closure : Block` casts are handled by the compiler. // For every closure signature seen at a cast site, the compiler // synthesises: // 1. A C-ABI trampoline `__block_invoke_` matching Apple's // `__block_literal.invoke` calling convention. // 2. Inline Block-struct construction at the cast site, with // `invoke` pointing at the synthesised trampoline and // `sx_env`/`sx_fn` taken from the closure value. // // User-facing surface: `xx my_closure : Block` for ANY closure // signature. No per-signature stdlib boilerplate. The shared // infrastructure above (`Block`, `BlockDescriptor`, // `_NSConcreteStackBlock`, `__sx_block_descriptor`) is referenced // by the synthesised code; users only need to `#import` this module.
