GlueGen Native Data & Function Mapping for Java™

References

Overview

GlueGen is a compiler for function and data-structure declarations, generating Java and JNI C code offline at compile time and allows using native libraries within your Java application.

GlueGen also provides a comprehensive runtime library offering

GlueGen's compiler reads ANSI C header files and separate configuration files which provide control over many aspects of the glue code generation. GlueGen uses a complete ANSI C parser and an internal representation (IR) capable of representing all C types to represent the APIs for which it generates interfaces. It has the ability to perform significant transformations on the IR before glue code emission.

GlueGen can produce native foreign function bindings to Java™ as well as map native data structures to be fully accessible from Java™ including potential calls to embedded function pointer.

GlueGen supports registering Java™ callback methods to receive asynchronous and off-thread native toolkit events, where a generated native callback function dispatches the events to Java™.

GlueGen also supports producing an OO-Style API mapping like JOGL's incremental OpenGL Profile API levels.

GlueGen is capable to bind low-level APIs such as the Java™ Native Interface (JNI) and the AWT Native Interface (JAWT) back up to the Java programming language.

Further, GlueGen supports generating JNI_OnLoad*(..) for dynamic and static libraries, also resolving off-thread JNIEnv* lookup.

GlueGen utilizes JCPP, migrated C preprocessor written in Java™.

GlueGen is used for the JogAmp projects JOAL, JOGL and JOCL.

GlueGen is part of the JogAmp project.

Warning: Try to avoid unspecified bit sized types, especially long, since it differs on Unix and Windows!
Notes:

Pointer Mapping

Pointer values itself are represented as long values on the Java side while using the native pointer-size, e.g. 32-bit or 64-bit, on the native end.

They may simply be accessible via long or long[] primitives in Java, or are exposed via com.jogamp.common.nio.PointerBuffer.

See Struct Pointer-Pointer Support below.

String Mapping

Function return String values

Function return values are currently mapped from char* to Java String using UTF-8 via JNI function

jstring NewStringUTF(JNIEnv *env, const char *bytes)

FIXME: This might need more flexibility in case UTF-8 is not suitable for 8-bit wide char mappings or wide characters, e.g. for UTF-16 needs to be supported.

Function argument String values

Function argument values are either mapped from char* to Java String using UTF-8 via JNI function

const char * GetStringUTFChars(JNIEnv *env, jstring string, jboolean *isCopy).

Alternatively, if a 16-bit wide character type has been detected, i.e. short, the native character are mapped to Java using UTF-16 via JNI function

void GetStringRegion(JNIEnv *env, jstring str, jsize start, jsize len, jchar *buf).

Struct String mapping

String value mapping for Struct fields is performed solely from the Java side using Charset and is hence most flexible.

By default, UTF-8 is being used for getter and setter of String values.
The Struct class provides two methods to get and set the used Charset for conversion

  /** Returns the Charset for this class's String mapping, default is StandardCharsets.UTF_8. */
  public static Charset getCharset() { return _charset; };

  /** Sets the Charset for this class's String mapping, default is StandardCharsets.UTF_8. */
  public static void setCharset(Charset cs) { _charset = cs; }

In case the String length has not been configured via ReturnedArrayLength, it will be dynamically calculated via strnlen(aptr, max_len).
The maximum length default for the strnlen(..) operation is 8192 bytes and can be get and set using:

  /** Returns the maximum number of bytes to read to determine native string length using `strnlen(..)`, default is 8192. */
  public static int getMaxStrnlen() { return _max_strnlen; };

  /** Sets the maximum number of bytes to read to determine native string length using `strnlen(..)`, default is 8192. */
  public static void setMaxStrnlen(int v) { _max_strnlen = v; }

FIXME: This only works reliable using an 8-bit Charset encoding, e.g. the default UTF-8.

Alignment for Compound Data

In general, depending on CPU and it's configuration (OS), alignment is set up for each type (char, short, int, long, ..).

Compounds (structures) are aligned naturally, i.e. their inner components are aligned
and are itself aligned to it's largest element.

See:

Simple alignment arithmetic

Modulo operation, where the 2nd handles the case offset == alignment:

padding = ( alignment - ( offset % alignment ) ) % alignment ;
aligned_offset = offset + padding ;

Optimization utilizing alignment as a multiple of 2 -> x % 2n == x & ( 2n - 1 )

remainder = offset & ( alignment - 1 ) ;
padding = ( remainder > 0 ) ? alignment - remainder : 0 ;
aligned_offset = offset + padding ;

Without branching, using the 2nd modulo operation for the case offset == alignment:

padding = ( alignment - ( offset & ( alignment - 1 ) ) ) & ( alignment - 1 ) ;
aligned_offset = offset + padding ;

See com.jogamp.gluegen.cgram.types.SizeThunk.align(..).

Type Size & Alignment for x86, x86_64, armv6l-32bit-eabi and Window(mingw/mingw64)

Runtime query is implemented as follows:

   typedef struct {
     char   fill;  // nibble one byte
                   // padding to align s1: padding_0 
     type_t s1;    // 
   } test_struct_type_t;
  
             padding_0 = sizeof(test_struct_type_t) - sizeof(type_t) - sizeof(char) ;
   alignmentOf(type_t) = sizeof(test_struct_type_t) - sizeof(type_t) ;

Struct Mapping

A Struct is a C compound type declaration, which can be mapped to a Java class.

A Struct may utilize the following data types for its fields

A field may be a direct aggregation, i.e. instance, within the struct including an array or a reference to a single element or array via a pointer.

Both, primitive, struct and pointer field type mappings only produce pure Java code, utilizing the GlueGen Runtime. Hence no additional native code must be compiled nor a resulting additional library loaded to use the mapping.

Only when mapping function-pointer within structs, additional native glue-code is produced to call the underlying native function which has to be compiled and its library loaded.

The generated method public static boolean usesNativeCode() can be used to validate whether the produced Java class requires a corresponding library for additional native code.

Opaque Java-primitive-type symbol

See also Opaque section in manual.

ImmutableAccess symbol

Immutable access can be set for a whole struct or a single field of a struct.

Immutable access will simply suppress generating setters in the Java code and hence also reduces the footprint of the generated Java class for such struct.

MaxOneElement symbol

ReturnedArrayLength symbol expression

ReturnsString symbol

A direct C code char array or indirect array via pointer can be interpreted as a Java String.

ReturnsStringOnly symbol

Struct Pointer-Pointer Support

See primitive Pointer Mapping above.

Pointer are exposed in the following examples

typedef struct {
  int32_t* int32PtrArray[10];
  int32_t** int32PtrPtr;

  ...
} T2_PointerStorage;

or via and undefined forward-declared struct

typedef struct T2_UndefStruct* T2_UndefStructPtr;

typedef struct {
  ...

  T2_UndefStructPtr undefStructPtr;
  T2_UndefStructPtr undefStructPtrArray[10];
  T2_UndefStructPtr* undefStructPtrPtr;
  const T2_UndefStructPtr* constUndefStructPtrPtr;
} T2_PointerStorage;

and the following GlueGen configuration

Opaque long T2_UndefStruct*
Ignore T2_UndefStruct

TODO: Enhance documentation

Struct Function-Pointer Support

GlueGen supports function pointers as struct fields,
generating function calls as methods as well function-pointer opaque getter and setter as long types.
The latter only in case if mutable, i.e. non-const.

Example

Assume the following C Header file example:

typedef struct {
    int32_t balance;
} T2_UserData;

typedef int32_t ( * T2_CustomFuncA)(void* aptr);

typedef int32_t ( * T2_CustomFuncB)(T2_UserData* pUserData);

typedef struct {
  ...
  
  T2_CustomFuncA customFuncAVariantsArray[10];
  T2_CustomFuncA* customFuncAVariantsArrayPtr;

  T2_CustomFuncB customFuncBVariantsArray[10];
  T2_CustomFuncB* customFuncBVariantsArrayPtr;
} T2_PointerStorage;

typedef struct {
  ...
  
  const T2_CustomFuncA CustomFuncA1;
  T2_CustomFuncB CustomFuncB1;
} T2_InitializeOptions;

and the following GlueGen configuration

Opaque long void* 

EmitStruct T2_UserData
StructPackage T2_UserData com.jogamp.gluegen.test.junit.generation
    
EmitStruct T2_InitializeOptions
StructPackage T2_InitializeOptions com.jogamp.gluegen.test.junit.generation

This will lead to the following result for const T2_CustomFuncA customFuncA1

  /**
   * Getter for native field <code>CustomFuncA1</code>, being a <i>struct</i> owned function pointer.
   * <p>
   * Native Field Signature <code>(PointerType) typedef 'T2_CustomFuncA' -> int32_t (*)(void *  aptr), size [fixed false, lnx64 8], const[false], pointer*1, funcPointer</code>
   * </p>
   */
  public final long getCustomFuncA1() { .. }
  
  /** Interface to C language function: <br> <code>int32_t CustomFuncA1(void *  aptr)</code><br>   */
  public final int CustomFuncA1(long aptr)  { ... }

and similar to T2_CustomFuncB customFuncB1

  /**
   * Setter for native field <code>CustomFuncB1</code>, being a <i>struct</i> owned function pointer.
   * <p>
   * Native Field Signature <code>(PointerType) typedef 'T2_CustomFuncB' -> int32_t (*)(T2_UserData *  pUserData), size [fixed false, lnx64 8], const[false], pointer*1, funcPointer</code>
   * </p>
   */
  public final T2_InitializeOptions setCustomFuncB1(long src) { .. }

  /**
   * Getter for native field <code>CustomFuncB1</code>, being a <i>struct</i> owned function pointer.
   * <p>
   * Native Field Signature <code>(PointerType) typedef 'T2_CustomFuncB' -> int32_t (*)(T2_UserData *  pUserData), size [fixed false, lnx64 8], const[false], pointer*1, funcPointer</code>
   * </p>
   */
  public final long getCustomFuncB1() { .. }
  
  /** Interface to C language function: <br> <code>int32_t CustomFuncB1(T2_UserData *  pUserData)</code><br>   */
  public final int CustomFuncB1(T2_UserData pUserData)  { .. }

Java Callback

GlueGen supports registering Java callback methods to receive asynchronous and off-thread native toolkit events, where a generated native callback function dispatches the events to Java.

Implementation Details

Implementation generates a static Java callback dispatcher for each defined SetCallbackFunction, which gets invoked by the generated native static counterpart with all arguments required.

The static callback utilizes its own synchronization for thread-safety and fetches the required data set stored at SetCallbackFunction to dispatch the call to the users' CallbackFunction.
In case the callback has been removed already, the static callback simply bails out quietly.

The native code does not create, release or manage heap memory and therefore is considered safe.

JavaCallback UserParam Mapping

Usually the same UserParam type is used in both items (or hooks), SetCallbackFunctionName and CallbackFunctionType, which we call a homogeneous UserParam mapping.

Even in a homogeneous UserParam mapping, handling of the UserParam value might differ in the native binding code.

To specify a non homogeneous UserParam mapping, i.e. heterogeneous UserParam mapping, the UserParam index of the SetCallbackFunction must be set in the configuration.

The following mappings are supported.

Pure Java Object User Type (default)

A pure Java Object type is used for both, SetCallbackFunctionName and CallbackFunctionType.

It's a homogeneous UserParam mapping, where the native side receives a simple unique ID and shall not dereference the pointer.

The static Java callback dispatcher fetches the Java UserParam Object from the key-mapped data value.

Instead of using the default plain Java Object type, a custom UserParamClass can be specified in the configuration, which is recommended for more clarity in the resulting API.

Struct Type User Param (Homogeneous)

A GlueGen generated Struct type is used for both, SetCallbackFunctionName and CallbackFunctionType.

It's a homogeneous UserParam mapping, where the native side receives the actual native struct address.

The static Java callback dispatcher dereferences the received native struct address (long), i.e. rebuilding the struct Object to be passed to the users' CallbackFunction.

Struct Type User Param (Heterogeneous)

An anonymous pointer (long) for SetCallbackFunctionName and a GlueGen generated struct type for CallbackFunctionType is being used.

It's a heterogeneous UserParam mapping, where the toolkit is expected to place the given anonymous pointer inside the defined struct type passed to the CallbackFunction.

The SetCallback-UserParamIndex for the different parameter-type is set in the configuration.

The static Java callback dispatcher dereferences the received native struct address (long), i.e. rebuilding the struct Object to be passed to the users' CallbackFunction.

JavaCallback Configuration

Configuration directives are as follows:

JavaCallbackDef  <SetCallbackFunctionName> <SetCallback-UserParamIndex> <CallbackFunctionType> <CallbackFunction-UserParamIndex> [<Callback-UserParamClass> [<Callback-KeyClass>]]
JavaCallbackKey  <SetCallbackFunctionName> <SetCallback-ParamIndex>* <CallbackFunctionType> <CallbackFunction-ParamIndex>*

JavaCallbackDef and JavaCallbackKey use the name of the SetCallbackFunction as its first attribute, as it is core to the semantic mapping of all resources. They also have to use the same CallbackFunctionType.

JavaCallbackDef attributes:

The SetCallbackFunction is utilized to set the CallbackFunction as well as to remove it passing null for the CallbackFunction.

If mapping the CallbackFunction to keys, the user must specify the same key arguments when setting and removing the CallbackFunction.

JavaCallback Key Definition

If no keys are defined via JavaCallbackKey or not manually injected using a custom Callback-KeyClass, see below, the CallbackFunction has global scope.

In case keys are defined via JavaCallbackKey and no manually injected custom Callback-KeyClass used, a public Callback-KeyClass is being generated covering the defined keys.

Keys allow to limit the scope, i.e. map multiple CallbackFunction to the different keys.

To remove a previously set CallbackFunction via SetCallbackFunction, the key arguments must match.

JavaCallbackKey attributes

Custom Callback-UserParamClass

Instead of using the default plain Java Object for non-compound UserParam types, a custom Callback-UserParamClass can be specified in the configuration, which produces more clarity in the resulting API.

Custom Callback-KeyClass

The Callback-KeyClass is the optional user-written hash-map-key definition and shall handle all key parameter of the SetCallbackFunction as defined via JavaCallbackKey, see above.

Callback-KeyClass may be used to add external key-components, e.g. current-thread or a toolkit dependent context.

The Callback-KeyClass shall implement the following hash-map-key standard methods

Required LibraryOnLoad

Note that LibraryOnLoad <LibraryBasename> must be specified in exactly one native code-unit within one native library.

It provides code to allow the generated native callback-function to attach the current thread to the JavaVM*, retrieving a valid JNIEnv*, see LibraryOnLoad <LibraryBasename> for details.

JavaCallback Generated Interfaces, Classes and Methods

The public CallbackFunction interface is generated.

The default public Callback-KeyClass is generated if keys are used and no custom class is specified, see above.

The public toolkit API SetCallbackFunction method is being generated.

Additional public maintenance methods are generated. In case keys are being used, they expect Callback-KeyClass as an argument, otherwise they expect no argument for global scope.

In case a Callback-KeyClass is used, the additional maintenance methods are:

If no Callback-KeyClass is used, the additional maintenance methods are:

Note that the releaseSetCallbackFunctionName(*) and releaseAllSetCallbackFunctionName() methods are not the proper toolkit API way to remove the callback, try to use original SetCallbackFunctionName API method instead using a null CallbackFunction reference.

JavaCallback Notes

Please consider the following currently enabled constraints using JavaCallback

JavaCallback Example 1

This example demonstrates a homogeneous Java Object UserParam mapping with a globally scoped CallbackFunction and UserParam.

The callback T2_CallbackFunc01 has global scope, i.e. is not mapped to any key and can be only set globally.

C-API header snippet:

typedef void ( * T2_CallbackFunc01)(size_t id, const char* msg, void* usrParam);

/** Sets the given `cbFunc` and associated `usrParam` as the callback. Passing NULL for `func` _and_ same `usrParam` removes the callback and its associated resources. */
void MessageCallback01(T2_CallbackFunc01 cbFunc, void* usrParam);

void InjectMessageCallback01(size_t id, const char* msg);

and the following GlueGen configuration

# JavaCallback requires `JNI_OnLoad*(..)` and `JVMUtil_GetJNIEnv(..)`
LibraryOnLoad Bindingtest2
    
ArgumentIsString T2_CallbackFunc01 1
ArgumentIsString InjectMessageCallback01 1

# Define a JavaCallback.
#   Set JavaCallback via function `MessageCallback01` if `T2_CallbackFunc01` argument is non-null, otherwise removes the mapped callback and associated resources.
#
#   It uses the function-pointer argument `T2_CallbackFunc01` as the callback function type
#   and marks `T2_CallbackFunc01`s 3rd argument (index 2) as the mandatory user-param.
#
#   This callback has no keys defines, rendering it of global scope!
#
#   Explicit maintenance methods are generated, passing the keys as paramters
#   - `boolean isMessageCallback01Mapped()` queries whether `MessageCallback0` is mapped globally
#   - `T2_CallbackFunc01 getMessageCallback01()` returns the global T2_CallbackFunc01, null if not mapped
#   - `Object getMessageCallback01UserParam()` returns the global `usrParam` object, null if not mapped
#   - `void releaseMessageCallback01()` releases callback data skipping toolkit API. Favor passing `null` callback ref to `MessageCallback01(..)`
JavaCallbackDef  MessageCallback01 1 T2_CallbackFunc01 2

Note that LibraryOnLoad Bindingtest2 must be specified in exactly one native code-unit within the library. It provides code to allow the generated native callback-function to attach the current thread to the JavaVM* generating a new JNIEnv*in daemon mode - or just to retrieve the thread's JNIEnv*, if already attached to the JavaVM*.

This will lead to the following interface

public interface Bindingtest2 {

  /** JavaCallback interface: T2_CallbackFunc01 -> void (*T2_CallbackFunc01)(size_t id, const char *  msg, void *  usrParam) */
  public static interface T2_CallbackFunc01 {
    /** Interface to C language function: <br> <code>void callback(size_t id, const char *  msg, void *  usrParam)</code><br>Alias for: <code>T2_CallbackFunc01</code>     */
    public void callback(long id, String msg, Object usrParam);
  }

  ...
  
  /** Entry point (through function pointer) to C language function: <br> <code>void MessageCallback01(T2_CallbackFunc01 cbFunc, void *  usrParam)</code><br>   */
  public void MessageCallback01(T2_CallbackFunc01 cbFunc, Object usrParam);

  /** Returns if callback is mapped for <br> <code>  public void MessageCallback01(T2_CallbackFunc01 cbFunc, Object usrParam)</code> **/
  public boolean isMessageCallback01Mapped();

  /** Returns T2_CallbackFunc01 callback for <br> <code>  public void MessageCallback01(T2_CallbackFunc01 cbFunc, Object usrParam)</code> **/
  public T2_CallbackFunc01 getMessageCallback01();

  /** Returns user-param for <br> <code>  public void MessageCallback01(T2_CallbackFunc01 cbFunc, Object usrParam)</code> **/
  public Object getMessageCallback01UserParam();

  /** Releases callback data skipping toolkit API. Favor passing `null` callback ref to <br> <code>  public void MessageCallback01(T2_CallbackFunc01 cbFunc, Object usrParam)</code> **/
  public void releaseMessageCallback01();

  /** Entry point (through function pointer) to C language function: <br> <code>void InjectMessageCallback01(size_t id, const char *  msg)</code><br>   */
  public void InjectMessageCallback01(long id, String msg);

JavaCallback Example 2a (Default KeyClass)

This example demonstrates a homogeneous Java Object UserParam mapping with a key-mapped CallbackFunction and UserParam.

Additionally a custom UserParamClass ALCcontext is being used for more clarity in the resulting API.

This example is derived from OpenAL's AL_SOFT_callback_buffer extension.

The callback ALBUFFERCALLBACKTYPESOFT is mapped to buffer name, i.e. one callback can be set for each buffer.

C-API Header snipped

  typedef void ( * ALBUFFERCALLBACKTYPESOFT)(int buffer /* key */, void *userptr, int sampledata, int numbytes);
  
  void alBufferCallback0(int buffer /* key */, int format, int freq, ALBUFFERCALLBACKTYPESOFT callback, void *userptr);
  
  void alBufferCallback0Inject(int buffer, int sampledata, int numbytes);

and the following GlueGen configuration

  # Define a JavaCallback.
  #   Set JavaCallback via function `alBufferCallback0` if `ALBUFFERCALLBACKTYPESOFT` argument is non-null, otherwise removes the mapped callback and associated resources.
  #
  #   It uses the function-pointer argument `ALBUFFERCALLBACKTYPESOFT` as the callback function type
  #   and marks `ALBUFFERCALLBACKTYPESOFT`s 2nd argument (index 1) as the mandatory user-param.
  #
  #   This callback defines one key, `buffer`, index 0 of alBufferCallback0(..) parameter list, limiting it to buffer-name scope!
  #   The `buffer` key allows setting one callback per buffer-name, compatible with the `AL_SOFT_callback_buffer` spec.
  # 
  #   Explicit queries are generated, passing the keys as paramters
  #   - `Set<AlBufferCallback0Key> getAlBufferCallback0Keys()` returns set of Key { int buffer }
  #   - `boolean isAlBufferCallback0Mapped(AlBufferCallback0Key)` queries whether `alBufferCallback0` is mapped to `buffer`.
  #   - `ALBUFFERCALLBACKTYPESOFT getAlBufferCallback0(AlBufferCallback0Key)` returns the `buffer` mapped ALEVENTPROCSOFT, null if not mapped
  #   - `ALCcontext getAlBufferCallback0UserParam(AlBufferCallback0Key)` returns the `buffer` mapped `userptr` object, null if not mapped
  #   - `void releaseAllAlBufferCallback0()` releases all callback data mapped via Key { int buffer } skipping toolkit API. Favor passing `null` callback ref to `alBufferCallback0(..)`
  #   - `void releaseAlBufferCallback0(AlBufferCallback0Key)` releases callback data mapped to Key { int buffer } skipping toolkit API. Favor passing `null` callback ref to `alBufferCallback0(..)`

Misc Configurations

LibraryOnLoad <LibraryBasename> for JNI_OnLoad*(..) ...

LibraryOnLoad <LibraryBasename> can be specified in one native code-unit within one native library maximum, otherwise multiple function definitions would occur.

In case Java™ callback methods are used, it is required to have LibraryOnLoad <LibraryBasename> specified in exactly one native code-unit within one native library.

LibraryOnLoad <LibraryBasename> generates native JNI code to handle the JavaVM* instance

Further the following functions are produced to attach and detach the current thread to and from the JVM, getting and releasing the JNIEnv*
