<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">DF structure wrapper</a></h1>
|
|
<p>DF structures described by the xml files in library/xml are exported
|
|
to lua code as a tree of objects and functions under the <tt class="docutils literal">df</tt> global,
|
|
which broadly maps to the <tt class="docutils literal">df</tt> namespace in C++.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>WARNING</strong>: The wrapper provides almost raw access to the memory
|
|
of the game, so mistakes in manipulating objects are as likely to
|
|
crash the game as equivalent plain C++ code would be. E.g. NULL
|
|
pointer access is safely detected, but dangling pointers aren't.</p>
|
|
<p>Objects managed by the wrapper can be broadly classified into the following groups:</p>
|
|
<ol class="arabic">
|
|
<li><p class="first">Typed object pointers (references).</p>
|
|
<p>References represent objects in DF memory with a known type.</p>
|
|
<p>In addition to fields and methods defined by the wrapped type,
|
|
every reference has some built-in properties and methods.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first">Untyped pointers</p>
|
|
<p>Represented as lightuserdata.</p>
|
|
<p>In assignment to a pointer NULL can be represented either as
|
|
<tt class="docutils literal">nil</tt>, or a NULL lightuserdata; reading a NULL pointer field
|
|
returns <tt class="docutils literal">nil</tt>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first">Named types</p>
|
|
<p>Objects in the <tt class="docutils literal">df</tt> tree that represent identity of struct, class,
|
|
enum and bitfield types. They host nested named types, static
|
|
methods, builtin properties & methods, and, for enums and bitfields,
|
|
the bi-directional mapping between key names and values.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first">The <tt class="docutils literal">global</tt> object</p>
|
|
<p><tt class="docutils literal">df.global</tt> corresponds to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">df::global</span></tt> namespace, and
|
|
behaves as a mix between a named type and a reference, containing
|
|
both nested types and fields corresponding to global symbols.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>In addition to the <tt class="docutils literal">global</tt> object and top-level types the <tt class="docutils literal">df</tt>
|
|
global also contains a few global builtin utility functions.</p>
|
|
<div class="section" id="typed-object-references">
|
|
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Typed object references</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The underlying primitive lua object is userdata with a metatable.
|
|
Every structured field access produces a new userdata instance.</p>
|
|
<p>All typed objects have the following built-in features:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref1 == ref2</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">tostring(ref)</tt></p>
|
|
<p>References implement equality by type & pointer value, and string conversion.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">pairs(ref)</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Returns an iterator for the sequence of actual C++ field names
|
|
and values. Fields are enumerated in memory order. Methods and
|
|
lua wrapper properties are not included in the iteration.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>WARNING</strong>: a few of the data structures (like ui_look_list)
|
|
contain unions with pointers to different types with vtables.
|
|
Using pairs on such structs is an almost sure way to crash with
|
|
an access violation.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref._kind</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Returns one of: <tt class="docutils literal">primitive</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">struct</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">container</tt>,
|
|
or <tt class="docutils literal">bitfield</tt>, as appropriate for the referenced object.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref._type</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Returns the named type object or a string that represents
|
|
the referenced object type.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref:sizeof()</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Returns <em>size, address</em></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref:new()</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Allocates a new instance of the same type, and copies data
|
|
from the current object.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref:delete()</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Destroys the object with the C++ <tt class="docutils literal">delete</tt> operator.
|
|
If destructor is not available, returns <em>false</em>.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>WARNING</strong>: the lua reference object remains as a dangling
|
|
pointer, like a raw C++ pointer would.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref:assign(object)</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Assigns data from object to ref. Object must either be another
|
|
ref of a compatible type, or a lua table; in the latter case
|
|
special recursive assignment rules are applied.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ref:_displace(index[,step])</span></tt></p>
|
|
<p>Returns a new reference with the pointer adjusted by index*step.
|
|
Step defaults to the natural object size.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<div class="section" id="primitive-references">
|
|
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3">Primitive references</a></h3>
|
|
<p>References of the <em>_kind</em> <tt class="docutils literal">'primitive'</tt> are used for objects
|
|
that don't fit any of the other reference types. Such
|
|
references can only appear as a value of a pointer field,
|
|
or as a result of calling the <tt class="docutils literal">_field()</tt> method.</p>
|
|
<p>They behave as structs with one field <tt class="docutils literal">value</tt> of the right type.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="struct-references">
|
|
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4">Struct references</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Struct references are used for class and struct objects.</p>
|
|
<p>They implement the following features:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref.field</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">ref.field = value</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Valid fields of the structure may be accessed by subscript.</p>
|
|
<p>Primitive typed fields, i.e. numbers & strings, are converted
|
|
to/from matching lua values. The value of a pointer is a reference
|
|
to the target, or nil/NULL. Complex types are represented by
|
|
a reference to the field within the structure; unless recursive
|
|
lua table assignment is used, such fields can only be read.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> In case of inheritance, <em>superclass</em> fields have precedence
|
|
over the subclass, but fields shadowed in this way can still
|
|
be accessed as <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ref['subclasstype.field']</span></tt>.
|
|
This shadowing order is necessary because vtable-based classes
|
|
are automatically exposed in their exact type, and the reverse
|
|
rule would make access to superclass fields unreliable.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref._field(field)</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Returns a reference to a valid field. That is, unlike regular
|
|
subscript, it returns a reference to the field within the structure
|
|
even for primitive typed fields and pointers.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ref:vmethod(args...)</span></tt></p>
|
|
<p>Named virtual methods are also exposed, subject to the same
|
|
shadowing rules.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">pairs(ref)</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Enumerates all real fields (but not methods) in memory
|
|
(= declaration) order.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">Container references</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Containers represent vectors and arrays, possibly resizable.</p>
|
|
<p>A container field can associate an enum to the container
|
|
reference, which allows accessing elements using string keys
|
|
instead of numerical indices.</p>
|
|
<p>Implemented features:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref._enum</tt></p>
|
|
<p>If the container has an associated enum, returns the matching
|
|
named type object.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">#ref</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Returns the <em>length</em> of the container.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref[index]</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Accesses the container element, using either a <em>0-based</em> numerical
|
|
index, or, if an enum is associated, a valid enum key string.</p>
|
|
<p>Accessing an invalid index is an error, but some container types
|
|
may return a default value, or auto-resize instead for convenience.
|
|
Currently this relaxed mode is implemented by df-flagarray aka BitArray.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref._field(index)</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Like with structs, returns a pointer to the array element, if possible.
|
|
Flag and bit arrays cannot return such pointer, so it fails with an error.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">pairs(ref)</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">ipairs(ref)</tt></p>
|
|
<p>If the container has no associated enum, both behave identically,
|
|
iterating over numerical indices in order. Otherwise, ipairs still
|
|
uses numbers, while pairs tries to substitute enum keys whenever
|
|
possible.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref:resize(new_size)</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Resizes the container if supported, or fails with an error.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref:insert(index,item)</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Inserts a new item at the specified index. To add at the end,
|
|
use <tt class="docutils literal">#ref</tt> as index.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">ref:erase(index)</tt></p>
|
|
<p>Removes the element at the given valid index.</p>

<p>Bitfields behave like special fixed-size containers.

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id9">Recursive table assignment</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Recursive assignment is invoked when a lua table is assigned
|
|
to a C++ object or field, i.e. one of:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ref:assign{...}</span></tt></li>
|
|
<li><tt class="docutils literal">ref.field = <span class="pre">{...}</span></tt></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The general mode of operation is that all fields of the table
|
|
are assigned to the fields of the target structure, roughly
|
|
emulating the following code:</p>
|
|
<pre class="literal-block">
|
|
function rec_assign(ref,table)
|
|
for key,value in pairs(table) do
|
|
ref[key] = value
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>Since assigning a table to a field using = invokes the same
|
|
process, it is recursive.</p>
|
|
<p>There are however some variations to this process depending
|
|
on the type of the field being assigned to:</p>
|
|
<ol class="arabic">
|
|
<li><p class="first">If the table contains an <tt class="docutils literal">assign</tt> field, it is
|
|
applied first, using the <tt class="docutils literal">ref:assign(value)</tt> method.
|
|
It is never assigned as a usual field.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first">When a table is assigned to a non-NULL pointer field
|
|
using the <tt class="docutils literal">ref.field = <span class="pre">{...}</span></tt> syntax, it is applied
|
|
to the target of the pointer instead.</p>
|
|
<p>If the pointer is NULL, the table is checked for a <tt class="docutils literal">new</tt> field:</p>
|
|
<ol class="loweralpha simple">
|
|
<li>If it is <em>nil</em> or <em>false</em>, assignment fails with an error.</li>
|
|
<li>If it is <em>true</em>, the pointer is initialized with a newly
|
|
allocated object of the declared target type of the pointer.</li>
|
|
<li>Otherwise, <tt class="docutils literal">table.new</tt> must be a named type, or an
|
|
object of a type compatible with the pointer. The pointer
|
|
is initialized with the result of calling <tt class="docutils literal">table.new:new()</tt>.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>After this auto-vivification process, assignment proceeds
|
|
as if the pointer wasn't NULL.</p>
|
|
<p>Obviously, the <tt class="docutils literal">new</tt> field inside the table is always skipped
|
|
during the actual per-field assignment processing.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first">If the target of the assignment is a container, a separate
|
|
rule set is used:</p>
|
|
<ol class="loweralpha">
|
|
<li><p class="first">If the table contains neither <tt class="docutils literal">assign</tt> nor <tt class="docutils literal">resize</tt>
|
|
fields, it is interpreted as an ordinary <em>1-based</em> lua
|
|
array. The container is resized to the #-size of the
|
|
table, and elements are assigned in numeric order:</p>
|
|
<pre class="literal-block">
|
|
ref:resize(#table);
|
|
for i=1,#table do ref[i-1] = table[i] end
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first">Otherwise, <tt class="docutils literal">resize</tt> must be <em>true</em>, <em>false</em>, or
|
|
an explicit number. If it is not false, the container
|
|
is resized. After that the usual struct-like 'pairs'
|
|
assignment is performed.</p>
|
|
<p>In case <tt class="docutils literal">resize</tt> is <em>true</em>, the size is computed
|
|
by scanning the table for the largest numeric key.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>This means that in order to reassign only one element of
|
|
a container using this system, it is necessary to use:</p>
|
|
<pre class="literal-block">
|
|
{ resize=false, [idx]=value }
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Since nil inside a table is indistinguishable from missing key,
|
|
it is necessary to use <tt class="docutils literal">df.NULL</tt> as a null pointer value.</p>
|
|
<p>This system is intended as a way to define a nested object
|
|
tree using pure lua data structures, and then materialize it in
|
|
C++ memory in one go. Note that if pointer auto-vivification
|
|
is used, an error in the middle of the recursive walk would
|
|
not destroy any objects allocated in this way, so the user
|
|
should be prepared to catch the error and do the necessary
|
|
cleanup.</p>

<p>A replacement of the standard library print function that

works with DFHack output infrastructure.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dfhack.printerr(args...)</span></tt></p>

<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dfhack.color([color])</span></tt></p>

<p>Checks if the thread can access the interactive console and returns <em>true</em> or <em>false</em>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dfhack.lineedit([prompt[,history_filename]])</span></tt></p>

<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dfhack.pcall(f[,args...])</span></tt></p>
|

<p>Invokes f via xpcall, using an error function that attaches

|
a stack trace to the error. The same function is used by SafeCall
|
|
in C++, and dfhack.safecall.</p>
|
|
<p>The returned error is a table with separate <tt class="docutils literal">message</tt> and

|
|
Suspending is necessary for accessing a consistent state of DF memory.</p>
|
|
<p>Returned values and errors are propagated through after releasing
|
|
the lock. It is safe to nest suspends.</p>
|
|
<p>Every thread is allowed only one suspend per DF frame, so it is best
|
|
to group operations together in one big critical section. A plugin

can choose to run all lua code inside a C++-side suspend lock.</p>
