#ifndef SHAREABLE_H__ #define SHAREABLE_H__ /* The Atlas UI DLL needs to share information with the game EXE. It's most convenient if they can pass STL objects, like std::wstring and std::vector; but that causes problems if the DLL and EXE were not compiled in exactly the same way. So, the Shareable class is used to make things a bit safer: Simple types (primitives, basic structs, etc) are passed as normal. std::string is converted to an array, using a shared (and thread-safe) memory allocation function so that it works when the DLL and EXE use different heaps. std::vector is done the same, though its element type must be Shareable too. This ought to protect against: * Different heaps (msvcr71 vs msvcr80, debug vs release, etc). * Different STL class layout. It doesn't protect against: * Different data type sizes/ranges. * Different packing in our structs. (But they're very simple structs, only storing size_t and pointer values.) * Vtable layout - this code doesn't actually care, but the rest of Atlas does. Usage should be fairly transparent - conversions from T to Shareable are automatic, and the opposite is automatic for primitive types. For basic structs, use operator-> to access members (e.g. "msg->sharedstruct->value"). For more complex things (strings, vectors), use the unary operator* to get back an STL object (e.g. "std::string s = *msg->sharedstring"). (That conversion to an STL object is potentially expensive, so Shareable.c_str() and Shareable.GetBuffer/GetSize() can be used if that's all you need.) The supported list of primitive types is below (SHAREABLE_PRIMITIVE). Structs are made shareable by manually ensuring that all their members are shareable (i.e. primitives and Shareables) and writing SHAREABLE_STRUCTS(StructName); after their definition. */ #include "SharedMemory.h" #include // We want to use placement new, which breaks when compiling Debug configurations // in the game and in wx, and they both need different workarounds. // (Duplicated in SharedMemory.h) #ifdef new # define SHAREABLE_USED_NOMMGR # ifdef __WXWINDOWS__ # undef new # else # include "lib/nommgr.h" # endif #endif namespace AtlasMessage { // By default, things are not shareable template class Shareable { public: Shareable(); enum { TypeIsShareable = 0 }; }; // Primitive types just need a very simple wrapper #define SHAREABLE_PRIMITIVE(T) \ template<> class Shareable \ { \ T m; \ public: \ enum { TypeIsShareable = 1 }; \ Shareable() {} \ Shareable(T const& rhs) : m(rhs) {} \ operator T() const { return m; } \ T _Unwrap() const { return m; } \ } SHAREABLE_PRIMITIVE(unsigned char); SHAREABLE_PRIMITIVE(int); SHAREABLE_PRIMITIVE(long); SHAREABLE_PRIMITIVE(bool); SHAREABLE_PRIMITIVE(float); SHAREABLE_PRIMITIVE(void*); #undef SHAREABLE_PRIMITIVE // Structs are similar to primitives, but with operator-> #define SHAREABLE_STRUCT(T) \ template<> class Shareable \ { \ T m; \ public: \ enum { TypeIsShareable = 1 }; \ Shareable() {} \ Shareable(T const& rhs) { m = rhs; } \ const T* operator->() const { return &m; } \ operator const T() const { return m; } \ const T _Unwrap() const { return m; } \ } // Shareable containers must have shareable contents - but it's easy to forget // to declare them, so make sure the errors are almost readable, like: // "use of undefined type 'REQUIRE_TYPE_TO_BE_SHAREABLE_FAILURE // with [ T=AtlasMessage::sTerrainGroupPreview, __formal=false ]" // // (Implementation based on boost/static_assert) template struct REQUIRE_TYPE_TO_BE_SHAREABLE_FAILURE; template struct REQUIRE_TYPE_TO_BE_SHAREABLE_FAILURE{}; template struct static_assert_test{}; #define ASSERT_TYPE_IS_SHAREABLE(T) typedef static_assert_test< \ sizeof(REQUIRE_TYPE_TO_BE_SHAREABLE_FAILURE< T, (bool)(Shareable::TypeIsShareable) >)> \ static_assert_typedef_ // Should be an empty string when cast to either char* or wchar_t* // (which requires length >= 4, since GCC's sizeof(wchar_t)==4) static const char empty_str[4] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 }; // Shareable strings: template class Shareable< std::basic_string > { typedef std::basic_string wrapped_type; C* buf; // null-terminated string (perhaps with embedded nulls) size_t length; // size of buf (including null) public: enum { TypeIsShareable = 1 }; Shareable() : buf(NULL), length(0) {} Shareable(const wrapped_type& rhs) { length = rhs.length()+1; buf = (C*)ShareableMallocFptr(sizeof(C)*length); memcpy(buf, rhs.c_str(), sizeof(C)*length); } ~Shareable() { ShareableFreeFptr(buf); } Shareable& operator=(const Shareable& rhs) { if (&rhs == this) return *this; ShareableFreeFptr(buf); length = rhs.length; buf = (C*)ShareableMallocFptr(sizeof(C)*length); memcpy(buf, rhs.buf, sizeof(C)*length); return *this; } Shareable(const Shareable& rhs) : buf(NULL), length(0) { *this = rhs; } const wrapped_type _Unwrap() const { return (buf && length) ? wrapped_type(buf, buf+length-1) : wrapped_type(); } const wrapped_type operator*() const { return _Unwrap(); } // Minor optimisation for code that just wants to access the characters, // without constructing a new std::basic_string then calling c_str on that const C* c_str() const { return (buf && length) ? buf : (C*)empty_str; } }; // Shareable vectors: template class Shareable > { ASSERT_TYPE_IS_SHAREABLE(E); typedef std::vector wrapped_type; typedef Shareable element_type; element_type* array; size_t size; // Since we're allocating with malloc (roughly), but storing non-trivial // objects, we have to allocate with placement new and call destructors // manually.
