The ucode Language

The ucode language is a tiny general purpose scripting language featuring a syntax closely resembling ECMAScript. It can be used in a stand-alone manner by using the ucode command line interpreter or embedded into host applications by linking libucode and utilizing its C language API. Additionally, ucode can be invoked in template mode where control flow and expression logic statements are embedded in Jinja-like markup blocks.

Besides aiming for small size, the major design goals of ucode are the ability to trivially read and write JSON data, good embeddability into C applications, template capabilities for output formatting, extensiblity through loadable native extension modules and a straightforward set of built-in functions mimicking those found in the Perl 5 language.

History and Motivation

In spring 2021 it has been decided to rewrite the OpenWrt firewall framework on top of nftables with the goal to replace the then current C application with a kind of preprocessor generating nftables rulesets using a set of templates instead of relying on built-in hardcoded rules like its predecessor.

That decision spurred the development of ucode, initially meant to be a simple template processor solely for the OpenWrt nftables firewall but quickly evolving into a general purpose scripting language suitable for a wider range of system scripting tasks.

Despite OpenWrt predominantly relying on POSIX shell and Lua as system scripting languages already, a new solution was needed to accomodate the needs of the new firewall implementation; mainly the ability to efficiently deal with JSON data and complex data structures such as arrays and dictionaries and the ability to closely interface with OpenWrt's ubus message bus system.

Throughout the design process of the new firewall and its template processor, the following design goals were defined for the ucode scripting language:

  • Ability to embed code logic fragments such as control flow statements, function calls or arithmetic expressions into plain text templates, using a block syntax and functionality roughly inspired by Jinja templates
  • Built-in support for JSON data parsing and serialization, without the need for external libraries
  • Distinct array and object types (compared to Lua's single table datatype)
  • Distinct integer and float types and guaranteed 64bit integer range
  • Built-in support for bit operations
  • Built-in support for (POSIX) regular expressions
  • A comprehensive set of built-in standard functions, inspired by the core functions found in the Perl 5 interpreter
  • Staying as close to ECMAScript syntax as possible due to higher developer familiarity and to be able to reuse existing tooling such as editor syntax highlighting
  • Bindings for all relevant Linux and OpenWrt APIs, such as ubus, uci, uloop, netlink etc.
  • Procedural, synchronous programming flow
  • Very small executable size (the interpreter and runtime is currently around 64KB on ARM Cortex A9)
  • Embeddability into C host applications

Summarized, ucode can be described as synchronous ECMAScript without the object oriented standard library.

Installation

OpenWrt

In OpenWrt 22.03 and later, ucode should already be preinstalled. If not, it can be installed via the package manager, using the opkg install ucode command.

MacOS

To build on MacOS, first install cmake and json-c via Homebrew, then clone the ucode repository and execute cmake followed by make:

$ brew install cmake json-c

Additionally, the debug module namespace may also be imported by invoking the ucode interpreter with the -ldebug switch.
Upon loading, the debug module will register a SIGUSR2 signal handler which, upon receipt of the signal, will write a memory dump of the currently running program to /tmp/ucode.$timestamp.$pid.memdump. This default behavior can be inhibited by setting the UCODE_DEBUG_MEMDUMP_ENABLED environment variable to 0 when starting the process. The memory dump signal and output directory can be overridden with the UCODE_DEBUG_MEMDUMP_SIGNAL and UCODE_DEBUG_MEMDUMP_PATH environment variables respectively.
Source
Methods
getinfo(value) → {ValueInformation}nullable
Obtain information about the given value.
The getinfo() function allows querying internal information about the given ucode value, such as the current reference count, the mark bit state etc.
Returns a dictionary with value type specific details.
Returns null if a null value was provided.
Parameters:
NameTypeDescription
value*

Additionally, the debug module namespace may also be imported by invoking the ucode interpreter with the -ldebug switch.

Upon loading, the debug module will register a SIGUSR2 signal handler which, upon receipt of the signal, will write a memory dump of the currently running program to /tmp/ucode.$timestamp.$pid.memdump. This default behavior can be inhibited by setting the UCODE_DEBUG_MEMDUMP_ENABLED environment variable to 0 when starting the process. The memory dump signal and output directory can be overridden with the UCODE_DEBUG_MEMDUMP_SIGNAL and UCODE_DEBUG_MEMDUMP_PATH environment variables respectively.

write(data) → {number}nullable
Writes a chunk of data to the program handle.
In case the given data is not a string, it is converted to a string before being written to the program's stdin. String values are written as-is, integer and double values are written in decimal notation, boolean values are written as true or false while arrays and objects are converted to their JSON representation before being written. The null value is represented by an empty string so proc.write(null) would be a no-op. Resource values are written in the form <type address>, e.g. <fs.file 0x7f60f0981760>.
If resource, array or object values contain a tostring() function in their prototypes, then this function is invoked to obtain an alternative string representation of the value.
Returns the number of bytes written.
Returns null if a write error occurred.
Parameters:
NameTypeDescription
data*
The data to be written.
Returns: number

 Tutorial: Usage
Usage
The ucode command line utility provides a set of options and arguments for executing and compiling ucode programs. Here is a detailed explanation of each option and its usage:
  • -h: Display the help message, which provides an overview of the available options and their usage.
  • -e "expression": Execute the given expression as a ucode program. This option allows you to provide a single-line ucode expression for immediate execution.
  • -p "expression": Execute the given expression as a ucode program and print the result after execution.
  • -c [-s] [-o output.uc] input.uc [input2.uc ...]: Compile the specified source file(s) to bytecode instead of executing them. By default, the compiled bytecode is written to ./uc.out. The -s option omits debug information, reducing the size of the compiled bytecode. The -o option allows specifying the output file path for the compiled bytecode.
  • -t: Enable VM (Virtual Machine) execution tracing. This option enables tracing of the ucode program's execution, providing detailed information for debugging purposes.
  • -g interval: Perform periodic garbage collection at regular intervals defined by the interval parameter. Garbage collection is a memory management process that frees up memory occupied by objects that are no longer in use.
  • -S: Enable strict mode, which enforces strict adherence to ucode language rules and prevents the use of certain potentially error-prone or unsafe language features.
  • -R: Process source file(s) as raw script code. This is the default mode of operation, where the ucode interpreter treats the source files as direct ucode script code.
  • -T[flag,flag,...]: Process the source file(s) as templates instead of raw script code. This option enables the usage of Jinja-like templates with embedded ECMAScript 6 code. The flags provide additional control over template processing, such as preserving leading whitespace or trailing newlines.
  • -D [name=]value: Define a global variable in the ucode program. If the name parameter is omitted, a JSON dictionary is expected as the value, where each property becomes a global variable with its corresponding value. If name is specified, it defines a global variable with the provided value, parsed as JSON or as a literal string if JSON parsing fails.
  • -F [name=]path: Similar to the -D option, but reads the value from a file specified by the path parameter. The file must contain a single, well-formed JSON dictionary.
  • -U name: Undefine the given global variable name. This option removes the specified global variable from the ucode program's scope.
  • -l [name=]library: Preload the specified library for use in the ucode program. Optionally, the library can be aliased to a different name within the program.
  • -L pattern: Prepend the provided pattern to the default library search paths. This option allows specifying custom paths for loading libraries. If the pattern does not contain an asterisk (*), it is added twice, once with /*.so and once with /*.uc appended to it.
Examples
Here are some examples showcasing the invocation of the ucode program with different options:

 Tutorial: Syntax
Syntax
The ucode programming language features a syntax that closely resembles ECMAScript 6. However, the ucode interpreter supports two distinct syntax modes: template mode and raw mode.
In template mode, ucode consumes Jinja-like templates that allow for the embedding of script code within the template structure. This mode enables the combination of expressive template constructs with JavaScript like functionality.
On the other hand, raw mode in ucode directly consumes ECMAScript 6-like syntax without any template-specific markup. This mode is mainly useful to develop standalone applications or libraries.
Template mode
By default, ucode is executed in raw mode, means it expects a given source file to only contain script code. By invoking the ucode interpreter with the -T flag or by using the utpl alias, the ucode interpreter is switched into template mode where the source file is expected to be a plaintext file containing template blocks containing ucode script expressions or comments.
Block types
There are three kinds of blocks; expression blocks, statement blocks and comment blocks. The former two embed code logic using ucode's JavaScript-like syntax while the latter comment block type is simply discarded during processing.
1. Statement block
Statement blocks are enclosed in an opening {% and a closing %} tag and may contain any number of script code statements, even entire programs.
It is allowed to omit the closing %} of a statement block to parse the entire remaining source text after the opening tag as ucode script.
By default, statement blocks produce no output and the entire block is reduced to an empty string during template evaluation but contained script code might invoke functions such as print() to explicitly output contents.
For example the following template would result in The epoch is odd or The epoch is even, depending on the current epoch value:
The epoch is {% if (time() % 2): %}odd{% else %}even{% endif %}!
2. Expression block
Expression blocks are enclosed in an opening {{ and a closing }} tag and may only contain a single expression statement (multiple expressions may be chained with comma). The implicit result of the rightmost evaluated expression is used as output when processing the block.
For example the template Hello world, {{ getenv("USER") }}! would result in the output "Hello world, user!" where user would correspond to the name of the current user executing the ucode interpreter.
3. Comment block
Comment blocks, which are denoted with an opening {# and a closing #} tag may contain arbitrary text except the closing #} tag itself. Comments blocks are completely stripped during processing and are replaced with an empty string.
The following example template would result in the output "Hello world":
Hello {# mad #}word
Whitespace handling
Each block start tag may be suffixed with a dash to strip any whitespace before the block and likewise any block end tag may be prefixed with a dash to strip any whitespace following the block.
Without using whitespace stripping, the following example:

 Tutorial: Memory Management
Memory Management
The ucode scripting language utilizes a reference count-based garbage collector as its primary method of memory management. When assigning an array or object value, the reference count is incremented. When a local variable holding a reference goes out of scope, the reference count is decremented. If the reference count reaches zero, a recursive traversal is performed to decrease the reference count of any nested references. Once the traversal is complete, the top-level array or object structure is freed.
Example 1:
x = [ { a: 1 }, { b: 2 }, { c: 3 } ];

Once the traversal is complete, the top-level array or object structure is freed.
Example 1:

 // `x` holds a reference to `[...]` (refcount 1)
 // `x[0]` holds a reference to `{ a: 1 }` (refcount 1)
 // `x[1]` holds a reference to `{ b: 2 }` (refcount 1)

 // `a` holds a reference to itself (refcount 1)
 
Example 3:
x = { y: { z: [ ] } }; x.y.z = x;
 // `x` holds a reference to itself through `x.y.z` (refcount 1)
-
In these examples, cyclic references are created where objects or arrays point back to themselves or create a circular chain. Since each element within the cycle maintains a reference, the reference count for each object or array never reaches zero, resulting in a memory leak. The reference count-based garbage collector cannot automatically reclaim memory in such cases.
To address cyclic structures and avoid memory leaks, ucode provides a secondary mark-and-sweep garbage collector. This collector can be enabled by passing the -g flag to the ucode interpreter or manually triggered using the gc() function during runtime. The mark-and-sweep collector identifies and frees unreachable objects, including those involved in cyclic references.

In these examples, cyclic references are created where objects or arrays point back to themselves or create a circular chain. Since each element within the cycle maintains a reference, the reference count for each object or array never reaches zero, resulting in a memory leak. The reference count-based garbage collector cannot automatically reclaim memory in such cases.
To address cyclic structures and avoid memory leaks, ucode provides a secondary mark-and-sweep garbage collector. This collector can be enabled by passing the -g flag to the ucode interpreter or manually triggered using the gc() function during runtime. The mark-and-sweep collector identifies and frees unreachable objects, including those involved in cyclic references.
