[PATCH v2 06/28] rust: macros: add `#[vtable]` proc macro

From: ojeda
Date: Fri Dec 02 2022 - 11:16:31 EST


From: Gary Guo <gary@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This procedural macro attribute provides a simple way to declare
a trait with a set of operations that later users can partially
implement, providing compile-time `HAS_*` boolean associated
constants that indicate whether a particular operation was overridden.

This is useful as the Rust counterpart to structs like
`file_operations` where some pointers may be `NULL`, indicating
an operation is not provided.

For instance:

#[vtable]
trait Operations {
fn read(...) -> Result<usize> {
Err(EINVAL)
}

fn write(...) -> Result<usize> {
Err(EINVAL)
}
}

#[vtable]
impl Operations for S {
fn read(...) -> Result<usize> {
...
}
}

assert_eq!(<S as Operations>::HAS_READ, true);
assert_eq!(<S as Operations>::HAS_WRITE, false);

+/// Declares or implements a vtable trait.
+///
+/// Linux's use of pure vtables is very close to Rust traits, but they differ
+/// in how unimplemented functions are represented. In Rust, traits can provide
+/// default implementation for all non-required methods (and the default
+/// implementation could just return `Error::EINVAL`); Linux typically use C
+/// `NULL` pointers to represent these functions.
+///
+/// This attribute is intended to close the gap. Traits can be declared and
+/// implemented with the `#[vtable]` attribute, and a `HAS_*` associated constant
+/// will be generated for each method in the trait, indicating if the implementor
+/// has overridden a method.
+///
+/// This attribute is not needed if all methods are required.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```ignore
+/// use kernel::prelude::*;
+///
+/// // Declares a `#[vtable]` trait
+/// #[vtable]
+/// pub trait Operations: Send + Sync + Sized {
+/// fn foo(&self) -> Result<()> {
+/// Err(EINVAL)

+/// assert_eq!(<Foo as Operations>::HAS_BAR, false);
