Beware: Captured Variables are Truly Shared
|
||||||
|
------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The example below is a typical tutorial sample for many languages to illustrate the traps
|
||||||
|
that may accompany capturing external scope variables in closures.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It prints `9`, `9`, `9`, ... `9`, `9`, not `0`, `1`, `2`, ... `8`, `9`, because there is
|
||||||
|
ever only one captured variable, and all ten closures capture the _same_ variable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```rust
|
||||||
|
let funcs = [];
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
for i in range(0, 10) {
|
||||||
|
funcs.push(|| print(i)); // the for loop variable 'i' is captured
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
funcs.len() == 10; // 10 closures stored in the array
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
funcs[0].type_of() == "Fn"; // make sure these are closures
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
for f in funcs {
|
||||||
|
f.call(); // all the references to 'i' are the same variable!
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Therefore - Be Careful to Prevent Data Races
|
||||||
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Rust does not have data races, but that doesn't mean Rhai doesn't.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Avoid performing a method call on a captured shared variable (which essentially takes a
|
||||||
|
mutable reference to the shared object) while using that same variable as a parameter
|
||||||
|
in the method call - this is a sure-fire way to generate a data race error.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If a shared value is used as the `this` pointer in a method call to a closure function,
|
||||||
|
then the same shared value _must not_ be captured inside that function, or a data race
|
||||||
|
will occur and the script will terminate with an error.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```rust
|
||||||
|
let x = 20;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
let f = |a| this += x + a; // 'x' is captured in this closure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
x.is_shared() == true; // now 'x' is shared
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
x.call(f, 2); // <- error: data race detected on 'x'
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Data Races in `sync` Builds Can Become Deadlocks
|
||||||
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Under the [`sync`] feature, shared values are guarded with a `RwLock`, meaning that data race
|
||||||
|
conditions no longer raise an error.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Instead, they wait endlessly for the `RwLock` to be freed, and thus can become deadlocks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On the other hand, since the same thread (i.e. the [`Engine`] thread) that is holding the lock
|
||||||
|
is attempting to read it again, this may also [panic](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/struct.RwLock.html#panics-1)
|
||||||
|
depending on the O/S.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```rust
|
||||||
|
let x = 20;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
let f = |a| this += x + a; // 'x' is captured in this closure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Under `sync`, the following may wait forever, or may panic,
|
||||||
|
// because 'x' is locked as the `this` pointer but also accessed
|
||||||
|
// via a captured shared value.
|
||||||
|
x.call(f, 2);
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|

TL;DR
|
||||||
|
-----
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Q: Why are closures implemented as automatic currying?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In concept, a closure _closes_ over captured variables from the outer scope - that's why
|
||||||
|
they are called _closures_. When this happen, a typical language implementation hoists
|
||||||
|
those variables that are captured away from the stack frame and into heap-allocated storage.
|
||||||
|
This is because those variables may be needed after the stack frame goes away.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These heap-allocated captured variables only go away when all the closures that need them
|
||||||
|
are finished with them. A garbage collector makes this trivial to implement - they are
|
||||||
|
automatically collected as soon as all closures needing them are destroyed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In Rust, this can be done by reference counting instead, with the potential pitfall of creating
|
||||||
|
reference loops that will prevent those variables from being deallocated forever.
|
||||||
|
Rhai avoids this by clone-copying most data values, so reference loops are hard to create.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Rhai does the hoisting of captured variables into the heap by converting those values
|
||||||
|
into reference-counted locked values, also allocated on the heap. The process is identical.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Closures are usually implemented as a data structure containing two items:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1) A function pointer to the function body of the closure,
|
||||||
|
2) A data structure containing references to the captured shared variables on the heap.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Usually a language implementation passes the structure containing references to captured
|
||||||
|
shared variables into the function pointer, the function body taking this data structure
|
||||||
|
as an additional parameter.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is essentially what Rhai does, except that Rhai passes each variable individually
|
||||||
|
as separate parameters to the function, instead of creating a structure and passing that
|
||||||
|
structure as a single parameter. This is the only difference.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Therefore, in most languages, essentially all closures are implemented as automatic currying of
|
||||||
|
shared variables hoisted into the heap, automatically passing those variables as parameters into
|
||||||
|
the function. Rhai just brings this directly up to the front.
