|
||
<p><a href=/2018/01/captains-cookbook-part-1>Part 1</a> of this series took a look at a basic starting project
|
||
with Cap'N Proto. In this section, we're going to take the (admittedly basic) schema and look at how we can add a pretty
|
||
basic feature - sending Cap'N Proto messages between threads. It's nothing complex, but I want to make sure that there's
|
||
some documentation surrounding practical usage of the library.</p>
|
||
<p>As a quick refresher, we build a Cap'N Proto message and go through the serialization/deserialization steps
|
||
<a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_1/blob/master/src/main.rs target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>. Our current example is going to build on
|
||
the code we wrote there; after the deserialization step, we'll try and send the <code>point_reader</code> to a separate thread
|
||
for verification.</p>
|
||
<p>I'm going to walk through the attempts as I made them and my thinking throughout.
|
||
If you want to skip to the final project, check out the code available <a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_2 target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a></p>

|
||
<p>As a first attempt, we're going to try and let Rust move the reference. Our code will look something like:</p>

<p>Note, I've removed the help text for brevity, but suffice to say that these errors are intimidating.
|
||
Pay attention to the text that keeps on getting repeated though: <code>XYZ cannot be sent between threads safely</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>This is a bit frustrating: we own the <code>buffer</code> from which all the content was derived, and we don't have any
|
||
unsafe accesses in our code. We guarantee that we wait for the child thread to stop first, so there's no possibility
|
||
of the pointer becoming invalid because the original thread exits before the child thread does. So why is Rust
|
||
preventing us from doing something that really should be legal?</p>
|
||
<p>This is what is known as <a href=https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.8.0/book/references-and-borrowing.html target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">fighting the borrow checker</a>.
|
||
Let our crusade begin.</p>
|
||
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id=attempt-2-put-the-reader-in-a-box>Attempt 2: Put the <code>Reader</code> in a <code>Box</code><a href=#attempt-2-put-the-reader-in-a-box class=hash-link aria-label="Direct link to attempt-2-put-the-reader-in-a-box" title="Direct link to attempt-2-put-the-reader-in-a-box"></a></h2>
|
||
<p>The <a href=https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/boxed/struct.Box.html target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>Box</code></a> type allows us to convert a pointer we have
|
||
(in our case the <code>point_reader</code>) into an "owned" value, which should be easier to send across threads.
|
||
Our next attempt looks something like this:</p>

<p>Let's be a little bit smarter about the exceptions this time though. What is that
|
||
<a href=https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Send.html target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>std::marker::Send</code></a> thing the compiler keeps telling us about?</p>
|
||
<p>The documentation is pretty clear; <code>Send</code> is used to denote:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>Types that can be transferred across thread boundaries.</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>In our case, we are seeing the error messages for two reasons:</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Pointers (<code>*const u8</code>) are not safe to send across thread boundaries. While we're nice in our code
|
||
making sure that we wait on the child thread to finish before closing down, the Rust compiler can't make
|
||
that assumption, and so complains that we're not using this in a safe manner.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The <code>point_capnp::point::Reader</code> type is itself not safe to send across threads because it doesn't
|
||
implement the <code>Send</code> trait. Which is to say, the things that make up a <code>Reader</code> are themselves not thread-safe,
|
||
so the <code>Reader</code> is also not thread-safe.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>So, how are we to actually transfer a parsed Cap'N Proto message between threads?</p>
|
||
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id=attempt-3-the-typedreader>Attempt 3: The <code>TypedReader</code><a href=#attempt-3-the-typedreader class=hash-link aria-label="Direct link to attempt-3-the-typedreader" title="Direct link to attempt-3-the-typedreader"></a></h2>
|
||
<p>The <code>TypedReader</code> is a new API implemented in the Cap'N Proto <a href=https://crates.io/crates/capnp/0.8.14 target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">Rust code</a>.
|
||
We're interested in it here for two reasons:</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>It allows us to define an object where the <em>object</em> owns the underlying data. In previous attempts,
|
||
the current context owned the data, but the <code>Reader</code> itself had no such control.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>We can compose the <code>TypedReader</code> using objects that are safe to <code>Send</code> across threads, guaranteeing
|
||
that we can transfer parsed messages across threads.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>The actual type info for the <a href=https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto-rust/blob/f0efc35d7e9bd8f97ca4fdeb7c57fd7ea348e303/src/message.rs#L181 target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>TypedReader</code></a>
|
||
is a bit complex. And to be honest, I'm still really not sure what the whole point of the
|
||
<a href=https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/struct.PhantomData.html target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>PhantomData</code></a> thing is either.
|
||
My impression is that it lets us enforce type safety when we know what the underlying Cap'N Proto
|
||
message represents. That is, technically the only thing we're storing is the untyped binary message;
|
||
<code>PhantomData</code> just enforces the principle that the binary represents some specific object that has been parsed.</p>
|
||
<p>Either way, we can carefully construct something which is safe to move between threads:</p>
