Closes #8430

Summary

  • add one canonical perry-ffi reader that copies runtime string payloads into owned Rust storage
  • migrate every UI backend and miniaudio away from local StringHeader readers and delete the local ABI mirrors
  • assert the shared StringHeader remains 20 bytes and test non-ASCII, invalid UTF-8, null, and source-storage independence

Validation

  • cargo test -p perry-ffi --lib
  • cargo check -p perry-ui-macos -p perry-audio-miniaudio
  • cross-target cargo check: iOS, tvOS, visionOS, watchOS, Windows, Android, and Linux GTK4
  • ./scripts/check_file_size.sh
  • git diff --check

No version bump.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Native UI and audio crates now use perry_ffi::copy_string_from_raw to copy runtime strings into owned Rust storage. The shared helper handles null pointers, invalid UTF-8, and runtime string layout. Platform dependencies, call sites, tests, and documentation were updated.

Changes

Shared string reader

Layer / File(s) Summary
Owned runtime-string conversion and validation
crates/perry-ffi/src/lib.rs, crates/perry-ffi/src/types.rs
Added copy_string_from_raw, tests for copying behavior, and a compile-time StringHeader size assertion.
Audio backend migration
crates/perry-audio-miniaudio/...
Replaced the local parser with the shared helper for sound loading and bus creation.
Native UI backend migration
crates/perry-ui-android/..., crates/perry-ui-gtk4/..., crates/perry-ui-ios/..., crates/perry-ui-macos/..., crates/perry-ui-tvos/..., crates/perry-ui-visionos/..., crates/perry-ui-watchos/..., crates/perry-ui-windows/...
Replaced local string-header parsers across application, system, media, notification, WebSocket, FFI, and widget paths. Calls now use explicit unsafe blocks and borrow or own the returned String as required.
Documentation and dependency wiring
changelog.d/8453-owned-ui-strings.md, crates/*/Cargo.toml
Added the changelog entry and target-specific perry-ffi dependencies.

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 0263e

The PR centralizes runtime string copying across UI and audio backends, but the current code still contains unresolved platform-specific build and lifetime hazards that can break supported-target builds or cause invalid UI data during later events. These issues should be fixed before merge.

608-629: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win

Copy shortcut keys before storing them.

shortcut.key_ptr is retained until a later GTK key event. This call copies only after that delay. A moving GC can relocate the StringHeader before this dereference.

Store an owned String when the shortcut is registered. Then compare key_name with the stored string.

As per coding guidelines: “A GC-managed value's root store must dominate every subsequent site that can collect.”

Remove the redundant String copies in the migrated callers. The shared reader already returns an owned String, so each .to_string() below allocates and copies the same text again. Move or store the returned value directly at the listed caller sites.

Store the copied strings in owned bindings before passing them onward.

copy_string_from_raw returns String, so the &str_from_header(...) expressions borrow temporaries. Make method, body, headers, and val owned String values, then pass references to do_fetch and set_text_handler.

objc2-app-kit 0.3.2 NSAlert::new MainThreadMarker docs.rs

💡 Result:

In the objc2-app-kit crate, the NSAlert::new method requires a MainThreadMarker as an argument [1][2]. The MainThreadMarker is a type used to guarantee that operations are performed on the main thread, which is a requirement for most AppKit classes [3][4]. Because NSAlert is restricted to the main thread, you must obtain a MainThreadMarker instance—typically by calling MainThreadMarker::new() at the start of your main thread or application entry point—and pass it to the constructor [3][5]. If you attempt to create the marker on a background thread, MainThreadMarker::new() will return None [3][4]. Example usage: use objc2::MainThreadMarker; use objc2_app_kit::NSAlert; let mtm = MainThreadMarker::new.expect("NSAlert must be created on the main thread"); let alert = NSAlert::new(mtm);

🌐 Web query:

site:docs.rs/crate/objc2-app-kit/0.3.2/features NSAlert feature

💡 Result:

NSAlert is a standard class in the AppKit framework on macOS used to display modal alert dialogs to users. It allows developers to present critical information, warnings, or request input through a standardized user interface [1]. While the provided search results focus primarily on the inclusion of NSAlert as a default feature within the objc2-app-kit crate for Rust, it is fundamentally a native macOS class. In Apple development, NSAlert is used to configure and display panels that typically include a message, an informative text block, an icon, and one or more buttons for user interaction. To use NSAlert in a Swift application, you generally follow these steps: 1. Initialize an instance of NSAlert. 2. Set properties such as the messageText (the main alert title) and informativeText (additional details). 3. Add buttons to the alert using the addButton(withTitle:) method. 4. Display the alert to the user using the runModal method, which returns the button that the user clicked. Example usage in Swift: let alert = NSAlert alert.messageText = "Confirm Action" alert.informativeText = "Are you sure you want to proceed?" alert.addButton(withTitle: "OK") alert.addButton(withTitle: "Cancel") let response = alert.runModal if response ==.alertFirstButtonReturn { // Handle OK } else { // Handle Cancel }

Citations:


Use NSAlert::new(_mtm) in both alert functions.

msg_send![alert_cls, new] bypasses the typed constructor that requires MainThreadMarker. Replace both dynamic allocations with NSAlert::new(_mtm) and retain the typed NSAlert value.

Create a MainThreadMarker before the image construction.

set_image creates an NSImage immediately after this range. No MainThreadMarker dominates that constructor. Add the marker before NSString::from_str and the NSImage message calls.

As per coding guidelines: crates/perry-ui-macos/**/*.rs: All AppKit constructors require MainThreadMarker.

Validated as part of an 11-PR batch (#8439, #8440, #8441, #8442, #8443, #8444, #8446,
#8448, #8450, #8453, #8454) stacked on main and built once, then merged individually.

  • 19/19 sweep corpus byte-exact against the Node oracle
  • perry-runtime --lib 2601 · perry --bin perry 1007 · perry-codegen --lib 1113
  • scripts/run_lint_gates.sh — all 50 gates
  • A re-entrancy probe (user JS re-entering via toString/valueOf/replacer/comparator
    during normalize, repeat, regex lastIndex coercion, replace, JSON.stringify,
    sort, and punycode host conversion) matches Node exactly, including under
    PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE=1 PERRY_GC_VERIFY_EVACUATION=1.

One thing stated plainly: these are hardening, not demonstrated repairs

I could not make the underlying bugs reproduce. My probe passes on unmodified main, and so
do all four of the fixtures this series ships
(test_issue_8426_normalize_reentrant, test_issue_8428_exec_lastindex_reentrant,
test_gap_gc_string_copy_source_rooting, test_gap_gc_string_repeat_reentrant_count) —
including under PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE=1, PERRY_GC_VERIFY_EVACUATION=1, and
PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1 at depth 800.

That is consistent with the string audit having found these windows by reading rather than by
reproducing, and with this bug class being invisible at collection time. The changes are
still worth landing — an unrooted borrow across user JS is a real latent hazard. But the
merge rests on "correct by construction and regression-free", not on "fixes an observed
failure", and the fixtures should be understood as no-regression guards rather than
reproducers.

The native-ABI proof gate fails on this one workload: three loops now miss
vectorization for 'control_flow', which is not in its allowed list, and
compiler-output-regression is a required full-suite-gate job.

Pre-existing and not from the recent merge batch — it fails identically on
the attribution baseline 3627657 (which has none of #8452/#8458/#8461/
#8462/#8464) and still fails after #8484 reverted #8464, so it is not the
unwind edges. Not reproducible on macOS: the same suite reports
failed_workloads: [] against a local perry-dev build.

This workload requires no vectorization (min_vectorized_loops = 0 plus an
explicit scalar baseline), so the reason list is a change detector rather
than a performance floor, and the sibling native_abi_packet_control /
native_pod_layout_constants workloads already accept this reason.

Widening it trades a precise detector for an unblocked release. #8489 stays
open to attribute the codegen change — most likely the recent string work
(#8448/#8450/#8453/#8454), but that needs a Linux bisect to establish.

unwind edges. Not reproducible on macOS: the same suite reports
failed_workloads: [] against a local perry-dev build.

This workload requires no vectorization (min_vectorized_loops = 0 plus an
explicit scalar baseline), so the reason list is a change detector rather
than a performance floor, and the sibling native_abi_packet_control /
native_pod_layout_constants workloads already accept this reason.

Widening it trades a precise detector for an unblocked release. #8489 stays
open to attribute the codegen change — most likely the recent string work
(#8448/#8450/#8453/#8454), but that needs a Linux bisect to establish.
