/* flan_dev — the part of the host ABI that only a dev build has. * * A redefinition module reaches the host's functions and globals through * symbols the host already exports: a cell for each function, the storage for * each global. That covers everything the program was *built* with. It does * not cover a name the module introduces — a defn or a defvar typed into the * REPL after the process started — because there is no symbol in the host to * bind to and ELF cannot grow one. * * So a name that is new at run time is keyed by string instead. This file is * the two lookups that make that work, and deliberately nothing else: * * flan_dev_cell(name) the cell a new function lives in * flan_dev_global(name, size) the storage a new global lives in * * Both are idempotent: the second module to mention a name gets what the first * one got. That is the whole point. Two modules that each define their own * copy of a new function would each call their own, and redefining it would * update one of them. * * The table never moves. A module holds the address of a cell for as long as * it is loaded, so a growable table would leave those addresses pointing into * a freed allocation. Fixed capacity and a loud failure instead. * * Never dlclose a module. A cell holds an address inside that module's text, * and unloading it leaves every call site pointing at unmapped memory. There * is no unload path here on purpose. */ #include #include #include #include #define FLAN_DEV_MAX 4096 typedef struct { const char *name; /* strdup'd: the module that passed it may go away */ void *cell; /* a function's cell, or a global's storage */ size_t size; /* a global's size; 0 for a function */ } entry; static entry table[FLAN_DEV_MAX]; static size_t used; static void die(const char *what, const char *name) { fprintf(stderr, "flan_dev: %s: %s\n", what, name); fflush(stderr); abort(); } static entry *find(const char *name) { for (size_t i = 0; i < used; i++) if (strcmp(table[i].name, name) == 0) return &table[i]; return NULL; } static entry *intern(const char *name) { if (used == FLAN_DEV_MAX) die("out of dev name slots", name); entry *e = &table[used++]; e->name = strdup(name); if (e->name == NULL) die("out of memory", name); e->cell = NULL; e->size = 0; return e; } /* The cell a run-time-introduced function is called through.
