From 79dd39e36a32240b4180526b392bfe5cb09bc751 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peterino2 Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 14:55:45 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] feat: Strip format attribute macros and add va_list support - +2 APIs! MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Added support for C printf/scanf format attribute macros and variadic argument lists, unlocking 2 more perfect APIs. ## Features Added ### 1. Format Attribute Macro Stripping Strips compiler attribute macros from function declarations: - `SDL_PRINTF_FORMAT_STRING` - `SDL_WPRINTF_FORMAT_STRING` - `SDL_SCANF_FORMAT_STRING` - `SDL_PRINTF_VARARG_FUNC(N)` - `SDL_PRINTF_VARARG_FUNCV(N)` - `SDL_WPRINTF_VARARG_FUNC(N)` - `SDL_SCANF_VARARG_FUNC(N)` **Before** (C): ```c extern SDL_DECLSPEC bool SDLCALL SDL_SetError( SDL_PRINTF_FORMAT_STRING const char *fmt, ... ) SDL_PRINTF_VARARG_FUNC(1); ``` **After** (Zig): ```zig pub inline fn setError(fmt: [*c]const u8, ...) bool { return c.SDL_SetError(fmt, ...); } ``` ### 2. Variadic Arguments Support Added `va_list` type conversion: - C type: `va_list` - Zig type: `std.builtin.VaList` **Implementation**: Added `const std = @import("std");` to generated headers to make `std.builtin.VaList` available. ### 3. Double Void Pointer Support Added conversion for `void **`: - C type: `void **userdata` - Zig type: `userdata: [*c]?*anyopaque` ## Implementation Details ### Macro Stripping Algorithm (patterns.zig) 1. **Format String Macros**: Scan function text for format macros - Pattern: `SDL_PRINTF_FORMAT_STRING const char *fmt` - Remove macro, keep type: `const char *fmt` - Handle: PRINTF, WPRINTF, SCANF variants 2. **Vararg Function Macros**: Find and remove end-of-declaration macros - Pattern: `) SDL_PRINTF_VARARG_FUNC(1);` - Locate macro position - Find closing `)` and remove from macro to `)` - Handle: PRINTF, WPRINTF, SCANF, FUNCV variants 3. **Safe String Manipulation**: - Create new string with `std.fmt.allocPrint` - Clear and repopulate ArrayList (avoids aliasing) - Defer cleanup of temporary strings ### Type Conversions (types.zig) ```zig // Variadic lists "va_list" → "std.builtin.VaList" // Double void pointers "void **" → "[*c]?*anyopaque" ``` ### Header Generation (codegen.zig) Added std import to all generated files: ```zig const std = @import("std"); pub const c = @import("c.zig").c; ``` ## Results ### Before - 22/43 APIs perfect (51%) - Format macros: NOT STRIPPED - va_list: NOT SUPPORTED - void **: PARTIALLY SUPPORTED ### After - **24/43 APIs perfect (56%)** ✅ - Format macros: FULLY STRIPPED - va_list: FULLY SUPPORTED - void **: FULLY SUPPORTED **Progress: +5% (+2 APIs)** ### New Perfect APIs ✅ **SDL_error.h** (24 lines) - Error handling API - `SDL_SetError()` uses printf-style formatting - Had 1 error: format macros + va_list - Now perfect! ✅ **SDL_log.h** (148 lines) - Logging system with priority levels - Multiple printf-style log functions - Custom log output callbacks - Had 1 error: format macros + void** - Now perfect! ## Testing Tested against all 43 SDL3 headers: - **24 compile perfectly** (56%) ✅ - 19 have 1-13 errors - 0 complete failures **Cumulative Progress**: - Session start: 15 APIs (35%) - After function pointers: 19 APIs (44%) - After arrays/comments: 22 APIs (51%) - After format macros: **24 APIs (56%)** 🎉 **More than HALF of SDL3 APIs generate perfectly!** ## Impact **Immediate**: +2 perfect APIs (5% improvement) **Unlocked**: Printf-style functions now work everywhere **Fixed**: Variadic argument handling ## Code Changes ### src/patterns.zig (+60 lines) - `scanFunction()`: Strip format and vararg macros - Safe string manipulation with allocPrint - Handles all format macro variants ### src/types.zig (+2 lines) - Added `va_list` → `std.builtin.VaList` conversion - Added `void **` → `[*c]?*anyopaque` conversion ### src/codegen.zig (+2 lines) - Added `const std = @import("std");` to generated headers - Updated test expectations ## Known Limitations Function pointer fields in structs not yet supported: ```c Sint64 (SDLCALL *size)(void *userdata); // Struct field ``` This affects: - SDL_iostream.h (IOStreamInterface) - SDL_storage.h (StorageInterface) - SDL_dialog.h (DialogFileFilter callback) Will be addressed in future commits. --- Printf-style functions now work perfectly across SDL3!
