R API

The Safe Runtime (R) is a portable runtime library for embedded applications.

The R library provides management for binary searching, buffering, error handling, events, events, files, hashing, lists, logging, memory, ssl, sockets, strings, and date/time functions. It also provides a foundation of safe routines for secure programming, that help to prevent buffer overflows and other security threats. The library can be used in both C and C++ programs.

The R library uses a set extended typedefs for common types. These include: bool, cchar, cvoid, uchar, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong, int32, uint32, int64, uint64, float, and double. The cchar type is a const char, cvoid is const void. Several types have "u" prefixes to denote unsigned qualifiers.

The library includes a memory allocator and global memory allocation handler.

The library provides support for fiber coroutines to enable parallel programming without callbacks or complex threads. The network APIs use fibers to transparently block the fiber and resume other fibers automatically. This enables a straight-line "blocking" programming paradigm while enabling other fibers to run as required.

RBuf

RBuf

Dynamic Buffer Module.

Description:

RBuf is a flexible, dynamic growable buffer structure. It has start and end pointers to the data buffer which act as read/write pointers. Routines are provided to get and put data into and out of the buffer and automatically advance the appropriate start/end pointer. By definition, the buffer is empty when the start pointer == the end pointer. Buffers can be created with a fixed size or can grow dynamically as more data is added to the buffer.

For performance, the specification of RBuf is deliberately exposed. All members of RBuf are implicitly public. However, it is still recommended that wherever possible, you use the accessor routines provided.

API Stability:

Internal.

Fields:

char *		buf	Actual buffer for data.
ssize		buflen	Current size of buffer.
char *		end	Pointer one past the last data chr.
char *		endbuf	Pointer one past the end of buffer.
char *		start	Pointer to next data char.

PUBLIC void void rAddNullToBuf (RBuf *buf)

Add a null character to the buffer contents.

Description:

Add a null byte but do not change the buffer content lengths. The null is added outside the "official" content length. This is useful when calling rGetBufStart and using the returned pointer as a "C" string pointer.

Parameters:

buf	Buffer created via rAllocBuf.

API Stability:

Evolving.

PUBLIC void void rAdjustBufEnd (RBuf *buf, ssize count)

Adjust the buffer end position.

Description:

Adjust the buffer end position by the specified amount. This is typically used to advance the end position as content is appended to the buffer. Adjusting the start or end position will change the value returned by rGetBufLength. If using the rPutBlock or rPutChar routines, adjusting the end position is done automatically.

Parameters:

buf	Buffer created via rAllocBuf.
count	Positive or negative count of bytes to adjust the end position.

PUBLIC void void rAdjustBufStart (RBuf *buf, ssize count)

Adjust the buffer start position.

Description:

Adjust the buffer start position by the specified amount. This is typically used to advance the start position as content is consumed. Adjusting the start or end position will change the value returned by rGetBufLength. If using the rGetBlock or rGetChar routines, adjusting the start position is done automatically.

Parameters:

buf	Buffer created via rAllocBuf.
count	Positive or negative count of bytes to adjust the start position.

PUBLIC void void rTermLock (RLock *mutex)

Terminate a statically allocated lock object.

Parameters:

mutex

Reference to an RLock structure to initialize.

PUBLIC void void rTermOs (void )

Stop the O/S dependent subsystem.

API Stability:

PUBLIC bool bool rTryLock (RLock *lock)

Attempt to lock access.

Description:

This call attempts to assert a lock on the given lock mutex so that other threads calling rLock or rTryLock will block until the current thread calls rUnlock.

Returns:

Returns zero if the successful in locking the mutex. Returns a negative error code if unsuccessful.

API Stability:

PUBLIC ssize ssize rWriteSocket (RSocket *sp, cvoid *buf, ssize bufsize, Ticks deadline)

Write to a socket.

Description:

Write a block of data to a socket. If the socket is in non-blocking mode (the default), the write may return having written less than the required bytes. If no data can be written, this call will yield the current fiber and resume the main fiber. When data is available, the fiber will resume.

Must be called from a fiber.

Parameters:

sp	Socket object returned from rAllocSocket.
buf	Reference to a block to write to the socket.
bufsize	Length of data to write. This may be less than the requested write length if the socket is in non-blocking mode. Will return a negative error code on errors.
deadline	System time in ticks to wait until.

Returns:

A count of bytes actually written. Return a negative error code on errors and if the socket cannot absorb any more data. If the transport is saturated, will return a negative error and rGetError() returns EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK.

API Stability:

Evolving.

PUBLIC ssize ssize rWriteSocketSync (RSocket *sp, cvoid *buf, ssize len)

Write to a socket.

Description:

Write a block of data to a socket. If the socket is in non-blocking mode (the default), the write may return having written less than the required bytes. It is preferable to use rWriteSocket which can wait without blocking via fiber coroutines.

Parameters:

sp	Socket object returned from rAllocSocket.
buf	Reference to a block to write to the socket.
len	Length of data to write. This may be less than the requested write length if the socket is in non-blocking mode. Will return a negative error code on errors.

Returns:

A count of bytes actually written. Return a negative error code on errors and if the socket cannot absorb any more data. If the transport is saturated, will return a negative error and rGetError() returns EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK.

PUBLIC void,* void* rYieldFiber (void *value)

Yield a fiber back to the main fiber.

Description:

Pause a fiber until resumed by the main fiber. the target fiber is resumed via an event to the main fiber. This routine is thread safe when invoked from a non-main thread.

Parameters:

value

Value to provide as a result to the main fiber that called rResumeFiber.
