Implement kyo-offheap for Scala Native #1058

aybanda · 2025-01-28T10:12:04Z

Problem

The current implementation of kyo-offheap is only available for the JVM, limiting its usability in Scala Native environments. This PR aims to implement the necessary components for kyo-offheap in Scala Native, enabling direct memory access similar to the JVM implementation. The goal is to provide users with the ability to manage memory efficiently in a native context.

Solution

Implemented the kyo-offheap module for Scala Native, including the necessary stubs for MemorySegment and Arena.
Introduced stub implementations for Java's Arena and MemorySegment in kyo-offheap/native/src/main/java/lang/foreign/.
Ensured that all existing tests pass successfully, confirming that the core functionality is intact.

Notes

--

Limitations:
- The current implementation may require additional testing and profiling to ensure optimal performance in all scenarios.

+   libraryDependencies += "org.scala-native" %% "scala-native" % "0.4.13" // Use the latest stable version


The latest stable is 0.5.6 https://github.com/scala-native/scala-native/releases

And I don't think you need to put it in build.sbt, the sbt-scala-native sbt plugin in project/plugins.sbt should be enough.

Yes, we don't use separate sbt builds for modules. This PR shouldn't require build changes other than enabling NativePlatform for kyo-offheap.

You could name the project scala-native-panama (just as we have scala-native-java-logging facade for Java's logging).

I think it would make sense to move this project on the same level with the others.

Let's please not introduce any new modules for this. The task is moving the current implementations to the shared folder and then providing native stubs in the native source folder.

Downgrading Scala Native isn't an alternative. Why was this change made?

As mentioned in #1053, Memory shouldn't be replicated. The file should be moved to shared/src and then native/src should provides stub implementations for Java's MemorySegment and Arena.

This is quite a lot of heap, please revert it. Can you share the failure that led to this change?

@aybanda can you confirm this isn't being automatically generated with LLMs? LLM use is ok but only as a tool to support the development by a human.

aybanda · 2025-01-28T19:19:14Z

@fwbrasil @sideeffffect
Thanks for the feedback. I have made the following updates to address the review comments,
Your suggestions helped me refine the implementation and get things more appropriate and relevant.

aybanda · 2025-01-28T19:25:51Z

@fwbrasil just to clarify, I do use language models as a tool to help me out, but all the comments and code are really crafted and reviewed by me. The insights come from my own understanding and experience

Thank you for confirming! Please have another look at my feedback. This PR should:

Move Memory.scala to the kyo-offheap/shared/src/main/kyo folder. Similarly for MemoryTest.scala but in the test folder. No changes should be made to the contents of these files.
Introduce stubs of Java's Arena and MemorySegment for Scala Native in kyo-offheap/native/src/main/java/lang/foreign.

Please avoid changes to any other files or the build.

@fwbrasil Hope, this meets your requirement

fwbrasil · 2025-01-29T00:47:23Z

@aybanda It doesn't. There should be no changes to Memory.scala and MemoryTest.scala. These files only need to be moved to the shared folder and stubs for the necessary Java types (Arena and MemorySegment) need to be provided in the native folder. Stubs are essentially replicas of the Java types with the methods we need implemented using Scala Native's pointers. See other stub implementations for reference.

have you attempted to build and execute the tests? Subs must offer the same APIs as their original counterparts but limited to the ones used by the current implementations.

@aybanda apologies but the back and forth here hasn't been very productive. Please reach out via discord to discuss and validate your solution before posting the PR again.
