Avoid importing function names.  Idiomatically, modules and types are ok,
but not functions.  So says the Rust book.

Why vmm_sys_util::errno::Error rather than, say, errno::Errno?

Derived implmentation of Clone on an object containing a raw pointer and
a Drop that frees that pointer?  That wont end well.

If you have an Arc managing references to it below, why the need for Clone?

Types that wrap C types that should impl Clone have a C _copy function,
and require an explicit impl that calls it, not a derived.

All unsafes should have a preceding SAFETY comment.

Just make self.chip itself pub(crate)?

Doesn't info need an Arc as well? (see struct Info below).

Actually, does it make sense to be able to Clone the Chip?
Two threads could then watch different lines and
wait_info_event() from the one chip.
That isn't going to work, at least not the way you would want.

Send makes sense to me, but not Sync, due to the waiting for info events.
Similarly for line_request::Request.
At least not without some additional synchronisation/locking, and I'm not
sure we want to go there.

info is not always necessary, e.g. if the user just want to request a
line.  Maybe lazy load it?  Assuming you want to keep a copy cached with
the Chip at all.

You already wrap all the methods of Info, so why the need to return a
copy as well? Do you really need both?

And the functions of Info are currently pub(crate) so what could they do
with it anyway?

The OperationType identifies the underlying C call that caused the
error?  So it should be ChipGetLineOffsetFromName?

Does struct Info even need to be pub?

Clone/Drop wrapping a raw pointer again.

Do these functions need to be pub(crate)?  They are only used within the
module (by Chip), and are visible to that anyway.

Just make self.buffer pub(crate)?  Why is the idea of passing a raw
pointer around making my skin crawl?
Or even better, move the guts of
line_request::Request::read_edge_events() into a helper function here
that it can call so it doesn't need access to self.buffer.

What is to prevent reading an event from a slot that has not yet been
populated?  I realise doing that is possible in C, but it should be
prevented in the Rust bindings.

The new() should be:

    pub(crate) fn new(event: *mut gpiod::gpiod_info_event) -> Self {
        Self {event}
    }

The guts should be in Chip - where this new() is called.

Not sure why event_buffer needs to be nested inside an event module.
event_buffer should be in the request module.

edge_event is a tougher call, either line or request.  Probably the
latter.

Why is this a top level module, not part of chip?

The line_request should be in the request module?

The remaining types in this file look specific to lines and should be in
the line module?

Move the Ok outside the match, and return the Err immediately.
Not a biggy here, but where there are more variants it makes it easier
to read, if nothing else.

If there is a symlink to a device both in the path, or multiple symlinks
to the same device, you will get the same chip several times in the
returned Vec?

Some mention of the order in which devices are returned?
If you are returning a Vec then sorted might be nice, else state they
are not sorted.

And strictly speaking a Vec is not an iterator. It can be iterated over,
but Vec.iter() is its iterator.

What if the Rust bindings version differ from the libgpiod version?

Clone/Drop wrapping a raw pointer again.

Does it make sense to be able to clone a request?
As per Chip, concerns being about reading events concurrently, as well
as the freeing of the underlying resources.

As with other constructors, this should be a bare constructor, and the
guts should be in Chip where this function is called.

The error implies a C call failed, but that isn't the case.
Make it a plain InvalidArgument?

What is to stop the user requesting events between the len returned
here and the end of the buffer?  Why knows what state they are in.

Would be better to return an object that can only access the relevant
events in the buffer.

I've got an alternative for the event buffer implementation - will
describe that at the end.

This clone is fine - the derived one is not.

Rename values to props, particularly as values is one of the props.

Make mutators -> Result<&mut Self> so they can be chained.

These mutators might as well be pub as well.  Then the caller has the
option of using the set_prop(&[settings]) or chaining mutators.

Overall I don't see any problems that require major rework to the scale
of previous versions.  My main itches that need to be scratched being
dangling pointers and to a lesser degree thread safey.

I find the event_buffer solution to be less safe than it could be.
I've got an alternative, based on the my earlier PoC/suggestion, that
returns an snaphot of events when you read events from the request into
the buffer.  I've put that in a branch on github [1] if you want to take
a look.

I went though a few variations wrt how to deal with the event cloning.
Not implementing Clone on the events means they can't be stored in a
Vec, and so storing them in the Buffer was problematic.
My initial solution was for the event to only wrap the C pointer and
have distinct event types for buffered and cloned, implemented
using traits - which is bit of a pain as the user then needs to import
the trait themselves to use the events :-(.
Then tried a macro to add impl Event on the two event types, which looks
ugly to me.
Finally went with having Event be a new type of BaseEvent, which does
impl Clone, so the event buffer can store them (and <cough> cast them
to Event as appropriate).  Slightly more evil under the hood than I
would like, but provides the cleanest implementation.

The Events snapshot should impl Iterator to make it easier to use,
though I haven't added that yet.
And the error returned by Events::event() is wrong - just cut and pasted
one in there - probably should be InvalidArguments?

Anyway, the end result is that it is not possible to read an invalid or
uninitialised event from Rust, which was the point.
It also better handles lifetimes, so it isn't necessary to explicitly
drop events before re-using the buffer, and the event_clone() method
can be an instance method rather than a class method (to borrow some
Python terminology).
I've added an events.rs to the examples to demonstrate how the
changes impact usage in each case.

Cheers,
Kent.

One more thing - I overlooked trying to build on 32-bit while reviewing.
(in this case on a Raspberry Pi 4)

Unfortunately that fails:

An example of one of the relevant generated signatures is:

    pub fn gpiod_edge_event_buffer_get_event(
        buffer: *mut gpiod_edge_event_buffer,
        index: ::std::os::raw::c_ulong,
    ) -> *mut gpiod_edge_event;

On 32-bit c_ulong maps to u32, not u64.

Hi Kent,

Thanks a lot for putting so much effort in reviewing the series, yes
it makes me invest more time to the bindings, but it is totally worth
it. Excellent work.

I have pushed all the changed I have made so far in v8 branch in my
repository in the top few commits, in case you want to have a look.

I used it in another project, vhost-device related to virtio, and so
ended up using here. The main advantage of using this over errno is
that we can do Errno::last() to get the error number of the last
operation.

Do you have a better alternative to that ?

Why would that be required ? Internal required it as it can be stored
in two structures, Chip and Info, and should get freed after both of
them are out of scope.

Though Info have a single owner/user, i.e. Chip and once Chip is out
of scope, Info can be freed as well.

I have removed Clone now, since Info couldn't be cloned anymore.

Hmm, I added those for tests and now for the multi-threaded example I
have written. And I do get what you are saying, it is tricky to share
the same chip from two threads.

What should I do? Remove those example/tests and remove Sync ?

Yeah, but then I will be required to add an additional check to below
routines to see if info is already available or not, and populate it
if required.

Or detach Info from Chip and remove below wrappers ?

But then this piece of code would need to access self.request as the
API is:

            gpiod::gpiod_line_request_read_edge_event(
                self.request,
                buffer.buffer,
                buffer.capacity().try_into().unwrap(),
            )

It needs raw pointers to both buffer and request.

Good point, I have done this now:

event_buffer.rs:

    /// Set the number of events read into the event buffer.
    pub fn set_event_count(&mut self, count: usize) {
        self.event_count = count
    }

    /// Read an event stored in the buffer.
    pub fn event(&self, index: usize) -> Result<request::Event> {
        if index >= self.event_count {
            Err(Error::InvalidArguments)
        } else {
            request::Event::new(self, index)
        }
    }

line_request.rs:

Is this okay now ? I had to rename chip.rs to chip_internal.rs in
order to include info_event within it.

mod chip_internal;
mod info_event;

pub mod chip {
    /// GPIO chip related definitions.
    pub use crate::chip_internal::*;

    pub mod info {
        /// GPIO chip info event related definitions.
        pub use crate::info_event::*;
    }
}

mod edge_event;
mod event_buffer;
mod line_request;
mod request_config;

/// GPIO chip request related definitions.
pub mod request {
    pub use crate::edge_event::*;
    pub use crate::event_buffer::*;
    pub use crate::line_request::*;
    pub use crate::request_config::*;
}

mod line_config;
mod line_info;
mod line_settings;

/// GPIO chip line related definitions.
pub mod line {
    pub use crate::line_config::*;
    pub use crate::line_info::*;
    pub use crate::line_settings::*;
}

Probably yeah.

Documentation of read_dir() says:

The order in which this iterator returns entries is platform and filesystem dependent.

Hmm, not sure which version should we return here. I think it should
just be libgpiod's version. Though I am fine with whatever you and
Bartosz decide.

I have shared a change for the same earlier, is that enough ?

I haven't looked into that in great details yet, just skimmed through
it. I am not sure I understand them completely yet and I am not sure
if it is worth the complexity, may be it is. I will try to get through
the changes again next week though.

Will it be possible to get on with the current implementation and once
this is merged you send patches on top of it which can then get
reviewed properly by others too, who know Rust better than me ?

I missed running this :(

cargo build --target arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi

I have these changes on the top and yet I have an error which I am not
sure how to fix here without special if/else code per target.

The one I mentioned is the top match for errno on crates.io[1].
That provides the same functionality, and that is all it does.
All other things being equal I would go for the simplest dependency.

Exactly - if Info can't clone then you could Arc it.
But if the Chip can't clone then problem solved.

I would remove Sync support until you are satisfied you have a working

The usual way is to add a helper function that returns the lazy loaded
object.  If it hasn't been loaded yet then it does that first.
And your wrapper functions use that to access the info.

Or, as you suggest, just let the user get the Info and use its
accessors.

Either way works for me.

Yep - you pass the Request to the Buffer, rather than have the Request
doing the work on the buffer.

IIRC my branch includes my version of this.

Couldn't you just add those pubs to the old chip file?
So you don't need to rename it to chip_internal.

Lets say I want to implement a search for line by name, and check that
the line name is unique.  That will fail if there is a symlink to the
relevant device, cos it will see a spurious duplicate.
How would I do that then?

My thinking was that if the Rust bindings end up being compiled into the
app then it may be difficult to identify the version it was built with,
as opposed to the version of libgpiod it is running against.
Not sure you can always determine that from the Cargo.toml or
Cargo.lock, or that those will always be available after the fact.

Not a biggy if the two always remain compatible, but if a libgpiod change
inadvertently triggers some fault in the Rust bindings then it could be a
PITA just to determine the versions involved.

The problem there is you thinking that you need to be able to personally
support every line of libgpiod, and that it is not a team effort.

Wrt the Rust bindings, I was assuming that either Viresh would provide
support, or as his work appears to be on behalf of Linaro that they
would have an interest in maintaining it.

Similarly, I was assuming that I would be providing support for the
proposed tool changes, should they ever get merged.  Though, based on the
little feedback to date, I'm dubious about that ever happening.
I could always split them off into a separate project, but maintaining
an autoconf based setup doesn't interest me, particularly when the Go and
Rust alternatives are one-liners that just work, so probably not.

I was thinking that some forum for libgpiod, or more broadly GPIO
user space development, would help increase community involvement,
in both directions, and that might help address the Bartosz doesn't
scale problem. But I don't have anything useful to add on that.
The only relevant experience I have is with github, and while it would
probably suffice I would explore other options first, with gitlab
being the most obvious alternative.  No help there, I know.

Sorry for not replying sooner.  I was hoping to do a respin in a more
positive light, but that has eluded me and time marches on.

Cheers,
Kent.

Hey, this is literally the next item on my TODO list. I've just merged
the v2 API into master and am getting ready to dive head-first into
your patches.

I will surely help in maintaining the Rust part. Not an issue.

Sounds like a plan. I'm going through Kent's gpio-tools patches and
rust bindings are next in line.

The rust bindings might make it in before they do - you may find that
they are a bit more different from the old tools than you were expecting.

For my part I'm just wrapping up a quick pass over rust v8, before
looking for where the python landed.

Cheers,
Kent.

Yeah, I can tell that. :)

I have lots of non-functional minor things to point out - mostly
coding style etc. - that I will probably just fix locally when
applying.

One thing that stands out though is the dependency on libedit - do you
think we could make the gpioset interactive mode a configurable
feature with its own configure switch that could be left out if we
don't want to depend on any external libraries?

Looks like there will be a v5 for the optional interactive set, if
nothing else, so let me know and I can fix them as well.

Well, libedit was your preferred choice.
But, yeah, making the interactive mode optional is a good idea.

Any preference on the name for the config flag?
--enable-gpioset-interactive ?

One other major thing I had been considering, and implemented in my Rust
version[1], is renaming the tools, since it isn't intuitively obvious,
to me anyway, what gpiodetect, gpioinfo, gpiomon, and gpiowatch do.

I went with:
 gpiodetect -> gpiochip
 gpioinfo   -> gpioline
 gpiomon    -> gpioedges
 gpiowatch  -> gpionotify

where the names try to indicate the information returned, rather than
how it is collected.
And yeah, I got stuck with gpiowatch/gpionotify as I couldn't come up
with a short meaningful name for line info changed events.
Suggestions welcome.  And lice is not an option.

gpioget and gpioset remain unchanged as they are already as clear as can
be.

Would that work for you, or would you prefer to stick with the existing
names?

Cheers,
Kent.

It's still is - it's not about the choice of the library but about
keeping it possible to build a set of command-line tools with no
dependencies other than libc.

I don't know if it is because I'm used to the previous names but none
of the first three make much sense to me. I think it's better for the
names to indicate what the program is doing, not what it's returning.

On the other hand - gpionotify is great, go for it!

Ok, now I'm confused - only rename gpiowatch?

Anyway, we probably should pick this conversation up as part of the
tools review, not the Rust bindings, so let me know there.
