Hello, Zig!

For the LoRaWAN Zig App, see this...

• "Convert LoRaWAN App to Zig"

To compile the LoRa SX1262 Library in C with Zig Compiler, see this...

• "Zig Compiler as Drop-In Replacement for GCC"

Here's how we made Zig and LoRaWAN run on BL602 NuttX...

Zig App for NuttX

Apache NuttX RTOS is bundled with a simple Zig App ... Let's run this on BL602: hello_zig_main.zig

//  Import the Zig Standard Library
const std = @import("std");

//  Import printf() from C
pub extern fn printf(
    _format: [*:0]const u8
) c_int;

//  Main Function
pub export fn hello_zig_main(
    _argc: c_int, 
    _argv: [*]const [*]const u8
) c_int {
    _ = _argc;
    _ = _argv;
    _ = printf("Hello, Zig!\n");
    return 0;
}

We fixed the last 2 lines to make the Zig compiler happy...

//  Previously: printf("Hello, Zig!\n");
//  Zig needs us to use the returned value from printf()...
_ = printf("Hello, Zig!\n");

//  Previously this was missing.
//  Zig needs us to return a value...
return 0;

Original version is here: hello_zig_main.zig

Enable Zig App

To enable the Zig App in NuttX...

make menuconfig

Select "Application Configuration > Examples > Hello Zig Example"

Save the configuration and exit menuconfig.

Build Fails on NuttX

When we build NuttX...

make

We see this error...

LD: nuttx
riscv64-unknown-elf-ld: nuttx/staging/libapps.a(builtin_list.c.home.user.nuttx.apps.builtin.o):(.rodata.g_builtins+0xbc): 
undefined reference to `hello_zig_main'

(Source)

Which looks similar to this issue...

apache/nuttx#6219

This seems to be caused by the NuttX Build not calling the Zig Compiler.

But no worries! Let's compile the Zig App ourselves and link into NuttX.

Compile Zig App

Here's how we compile our Zig App for RISC-V BL602 and link it with NuttX...

##  Download our modified Zig App for NuttX
git clone --recursive https://github.com/lupyuen/zig-bl602-nuttx
cd zig-bl602-nuttx

##  Compile the Zig App for BL602 (RV32IMACF with Hardware Floating-Point)
zig build-obj \
    -target riscv32-freestanding-none \
    -mcpu sifive_e76 \
    hello_zig_main.zig

##  Copy the compiled app to NuttX and overwrite `hello.o`
##  TODO: Change "$HOME/nuttx" to your NuttX Project Directory
cp hello_zig_main.o $HOME/nuttx/apps/examples/hello/*hello.o

##  Build NuttX to link the Zig Object from `hello.o`
##  TODO: Change "$HOME/nuttx" to your NuttX Project Directory
cd $HOME/nuttx/nuttx
make

Zig Target

Why is the target riscv32-freestanding-none?

Zig Targets have the form <arch><sub>-<os>-<abi>...

riscv32: Because BL602 is a 32-bit RISC-V processor

freestanding: Because embedded targets don't need an OS

none: Because embedded targets don't specify the ABI

Why is the target CPU sifive_e76?

BL602 is designated as RV32IMACF...

Designation	Meaning
RV32I	32-bit RISC-V with Base Integer Instructions
M	Integer Multiplication + Division
A	Atomic Instructions
C	Compressed Instructions
F	Single-Precision Floating-Point

(Source)

Among all Zig Targets, only sifive_e76 has the same designation...

$ zig targets
...
"sifive_e76": [ "a", "c", "f", "m" ],

(Source)

Thus we use sifive_e76 as our CPU Target.

Alternatively we may use baseline_rv32-d as our CPU Target...

##  Compile the Zig App for BL602 (RV32IMACF with Hardware Floating-Point)
zig build-obj \
    -target riscv32-freestanding-none \
    -mcpu=baseline_rv32-d \
    hello_zig_main.zig

Because...

• baseline_rv32 means RV32IMACFD

  (D for Double-Precision Floating-Point)

• -d means remove the Double-Precision Floating-Point (D)

  (But keep the Single-Precision Floating-Point)

(More about RISC-V Feature Flags. Thanks Matheus!)

Floating-Point ABI

When linking the Compiled Zig App with NuttX, we see this error...

$ make
...
riscv64-unknown-elf-ld: nuttx/staging/libapps.a(hello_main.c.home.user.nuttx.apps.examples.hello.o):

That's because NuttX was compiled for (Single-Precision) Hardware Floating-Point ABI (Application Binary Interface)...

##  Do this BEFORE overwriting hello.o by hello_zig_main.o.
##  "*hello.o" expands to something like "hello_main.c.home.user.nuttx.apps.examples.hello.o"

GCC won't allow us to link object files with Software Floating-Point and Hardware Floating-Point ABIs!

(Why did the Zig Compiler produce an Object File with Software Floating-Point ABI, when sifive_e76 supports Hardware Floating-Point? See this)

Patch ELF Header

Zig Compiler generates an Object File with Software Floating-Point ABI (Application Binary Interface)...

##  Dump the ABI for the compiled app
$ riscv64-unknown-elf-readelf -h -A hello_zig_main.o
...
Flags: 0x1, RVC, soft-float ABI

This won't link with NuttX because NuttX is compiled with Hardware Floating-Point ABI.

We fix this by modifying the ELF Header...

• Edit hello_zig_main.o in a Hex Editor

  (Like VSCode Hex Editor)

• Change byte 0x24 (Flags) from 0x01 (Soft Float) to 0x03 (Hard Float)

  (See this)

We verify that the Object File has been changed to Hardware Floating-Point ABI...

##  Dump the ABI for the compiled app
$ riscv64-unknown-elf-readelf -h -A hello_zig_main.o
...
Flags: 0x3, RVC, single-float ABI

This is now Hardware Floating-Point ABI and will link with NuttX.

Now we link the modified Object File with NuttX...

##  Copy the compiled app to NuttX and overwrite `hello.o`
##  TODO: Change "$HOME/nuttx" to your NuttX Project Directory
cp hello_zig_main.o $HOME/nuttx/apps/examples/hello/*hello.o

##  Build NuttX to link the Zig Object from `hello.o`
##  TODO: Change "$HOME/nuttx" to your NuttX Project Directory
cd $HOME/nuttx/nuttx
make

The NuttX Build should now succeed.

Is it really OK to change the ABI like this?

Well technically the ABI is correctly generated by the Zig Compiler...

##  Dump the ABI for the compiled Zig app
$ riscv64-unknown-elf-readelf -h -A hello_zig_main.o
...
Flags: 0x1, RVC, soft-float ABI
Tag_RISCV_arch: "rv32i2p0_m2p0_a2p0_f2p0_c2p0"

The last line translates to RV32IMACF, which means that the RISC-V Instruction Set is indeed targeted for Hardware Floating-Point.

We're only editing the ELF Header, because it didn't seem to reflect the correct ABI for the Object File.

Is there a proper fix for this?

In future the Zig Compiler might allow us to specify the Floating-Point ABI as the target...

##  Compile the Zig App for BL602
##  ("ilp32f" means Hardware Floating-Point ABI)
zig build-obj \
  -target riscv32-freestanding-ilp32f \
  ...

(See this)

Stay Tuned!

Can we patch the ELF Header via Command Line?

Yep we may patch the ELF Header via Command Line...

xxd -c 1 hello_zig_main.o \
  | sed 's/00000024: 01/00000024: 03/' \
  | xxd -r -c 1 - hello_zig_main2.o

Zig Runs OK!

The NuttX Build succeeds. Zig runs OK on NuttX BL602!

NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-10.3.0-RC2

nsh> hello_zig
Hello, Zig!

Hello App

Remember that we overwrote hello.o with our Zig Compiled Object File.

NuttX Build will fail unless we provide the hello_main function...

riscv64-unknown-elf-ld: nuttx/staging/libapps.a(builtin_list.c.home.user.nuttx.apps.builtin.o):(.rodata.g_builtins+0xcc): 
undefined reference to `hello_main'

That's why we define hello_main in our Zig App...

pub export fn hello_main(
    _argc: c_int, 
    _argv: [*]const [*]const u8
) c_int {
    _ = _argc;
    _ = _argv;
    _ = printf("Hello, Zig!\n");
    return 0;
}

(Source)

Which means that the hello app will call our Zig Code too...

Convert LoRaWAN App to Zig

Finally we convert the LoRaWAN App lorawan_test_main.c from C to Zig, to show that we can build Complex IoT Apps in Zig.

The LoRaWAN App runs on PineDio Stack BL604 (RISC-V). The app connects to a LoRaWAN Gateway (like ChirpStack or The Things Network) and sends a Data Packet at regular intervals.

Here's the original C code: lorawan_test_main.c

Our LoRaWAN Zig App lorawan_test.zig compiles OK with Zig Compiler after making the following fixes...

Refer to Auto-Translated Zig Code

Some parts of the LoRaWAN Zig App lorawan_test.zig can get tricky to convert from C to Zig, like this C code...

//  Original C code...
#define APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE     40000
#define APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE_RND  5000

uint32_t TxPeriodicity = 
    APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE +
    randr( 
        -APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE_RND, 
        APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE_RND
    );

(Source)

Which has conflicting signed (randr) and unsigned (APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE) types.

We get help by referring to the auto-translated Zig Code: translated/lorawan_test_main.zig

//  Converted from C to Zig...
const APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE:     c_int = 40000;
const APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE_RND: c_int = 5000;

//  Cast to u32 because randr() can be negative
var TxPeriodicity: u32 = @bitCast(u32,
    APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE +
    c.randr(
        -APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE_RND,
        APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE_RND
    )
);

Which resolves the conflicting types by casting the signed result to become unsigned.

Opaque Type Error

When we reference LmHandlerCallbacks in our LoRaWAN Zig App lorawan_test.zig...

    _ = &LmHandlerCallbacks;

Zig Compiler will show this Opaque Type Error...

zig-cache/o/d4d456612514c342a153a8d34fbf5970/cimport.zig:1353:5: error: opaque types have unknown size and therefore cannot be directly embedded in unions

zig-cache/o/d4d456612514c342a153a8d34fbf5970/cimport.zig:2277:5: note: while checking this field
    OnMacMlmeRequest: ?fn (LoRaMacStatus_t, [*c]MlmeReq_t, TimerTime_t) callconv(.C) void,
    ^

Opaque Type Error is explained here...

• "Extend a C/C++ Project with Zig"

• "Translation failures"

Let's trace through our Opaque Type Error...

export fn OnMacMlmeRequest(
    status: c.LoRaMacStatus_t,
    mlmeReq: [*c]c.MlmeReq_t, 
    nextTxIn: c.TimerTime_t
) void {
    c.DisplayMacMlmeRequestUpdate(status, mlmeReq, nextTxIn);
}

Our function OnMacMlmeRequest has a parameter of type MlmeReq_t, auto-imported by Zig Compiler as...

pub const MlmeReq_t = struct_sMlmeReq;

pub const struct_sMlmeReq = extern struct {
    Type: Mlme_t,
    Req: union_uMlmeParam,
    ReqReturn: RequestReturnParam_t,
};

Which contains another auto-imported type union_uMlmeParam...

pub const union_uMlmeParam = extern union {
    Join: MlmeReqJoin_t,
    TxCw: MlmeReqTxCw_t,
    PingSlotInfo: MlmeReqPingSlotInfo_t,
    DeriveMcKEKey: MlmeReqDeriveMcKEKey_t,
    DeriveMcSessionKeyPair: MlmeReqDeriveMcSessionKeyPair_t,
};

Which contains an MlmeReqPingSlotInfo_t...

pub const MlmeReqPingSlotInfo_t = struct_sMlmeReqPingSlotInfo;

pub const struct_sMlmeReqPingSlotInfo = extern struct {
    PingSlot: PingSlotInfo_t,
};

Which contains a PingSlotInfo_t...

pub const PingSlotInfo_t = union_uPingSlotInfo;

pub const union_uPingSlotInfo = extern union {
    Value: u8,
    Fields: struct_sInfoFields,
};

Which contains a struct_sInfoFields...

pub const struct_sInfoFields = opaque {};

But the fields of struct_sInfoFields are not known by the Zig Compiler!

If we refer to the original C code...

typedef union uPingSlotInfo
{
    /*!
     * Parameter for byte access
     */
    uint8_t Value;
    /*!
     * Structure containing the parameters for the PingSlotInfoReq
     */
    struct sInfoFields
    {
        /*!
         * Periodicity = 0: ping slot every second
         * Periodicity = 7: ping slot every 128 seconds
         */
        uint8_t Periodicity     : 3;
        /*!
         * RFU
         */
        uint8_t RFU             : 5;
    }Fields;
}PingSlotInfo_t;

(Source)

We see that sInfoFields contains Bit Fields, that the Zig Compiler is unable to translate.

Fix Opaque Type

Earlier we saw that this fails to compile in our LoRaWAN Zig App lorawan_test.zig...

    _ = &LmHandlerCallbacks;

That's because LmHandlerCallbacks references the auto-imported type MlmeReq_t, which contains Bit Fields and can't be translated by the Zig Compiler.

Let's convert MlmeReq_t to an Opaque Type, since we won't be accessing the fields anyway...

/// We use an Opaque Type to represent MLME Request, because it contains Bit Fields that can't be converted by Zig
const MlmeReq_t = opaque {};

(Source)

We convert LmHandlerCallbacks to use our Opaque Type MlmeReq_t...

/// Handler Callbacks. Adapted from 
/// https://github.com/lupyuen/zig-bl602-nuttx/blob/main/translated/lorawan_test_main.zig#L2818-L2833
pub const LmHandlerCallbacks_t = extern struct {
    GetBatteryLevel: ?fn () callconv(.C) u8,
    GetTemperature: ?fn () callconv(.C) f32,
    GetRandomSeed: ?fn () callconv(.C) u32,
    OnMacProcess: ?fn () callconv(.C) void,
    OnNvmDataChange: ?fn (c.LmHandlerNvmContextStates_t, u16) callconv(.C) void,
    OnNetworkParametersChange: ?fn ([*c]c.CommissioningParams_t) callconv(.C) void,
    OnMacMcpsRequest: ?fn (c.LoRaMacStatus_t, [*c]c.McpsReq_t, c.TimerTime_t) callconv(.C) void,
    /// Changed `[*c]c.MlmeReq_t` to `*MlmeReq_t`
    OnMacMlmeRequest: ?fn (c.LoRaMacStatus_t, *MlmeReq_t, c.TimerTime_t) callconv(.C) void,
    OnJoinRequest: ?fn ([*c]c.LmHandlerJoinParams_t) callconv(.C) void,
    OnTxData: ?fn ([*c]c.LmHandlerTxParams_t) callconv(.C) void,
    OnRxData: ?fn ([*c]c.LmHandlerAppData_t, [*c]c.LmHandlerRxParams_t) callconv(.C) void,
    OnClassChange: ?fn (c.DeviceClass_t) callconv(.C) void,
    OnBeaconStatusChange: ?fn ([*c]c.LoRaMacHandlerBeaconParams_t) callconv(.C) void,
    OnSysTimeUpdate: ?fn (bool, i32) callconv(.C) void,
};

(Source)

We change all auto-imported MlmeReq_t references from...

[*c]c.MlmeReq_t

To our Opaque Type...

*MlmeReq_t

We also change all auto-imported LmHandlerCallbacks_t references from...

[*c]c.LmHandlerCallbacks_t

To our converted LmHandlerCallbacks_t...

*LmHandlerCallbacks_t

Which means we need to import the affected LoRaWAN Functions ourselves...

/// Changed `[*c]c.MlmeReq_t` to `*MlmeReq_t`. Adapted from
/// https://github.com/lupyuen/zig-bl602-nuttx/blob/main/translated/lorawan_test_main.zig#L2905
extern fn DisplayMacMlmeRequestUpdate(
    status: c.LoRaMacStatus_t, 
    mlmeReq: *MlmeReq_t, 
    nextTxIn: c.TimerTime_t
) void;

/// Changed `[*c]c.LmHandlerCallbacks_t` to `*LmHandlerCallbacks_t`. Adapted from
/// https://github.com/lupyuen/zig-bl602-nuttx/blob/main/translated/lorawan_test_main.zig#L2835
extern fn LmHandlerInit(
    callbacks: *LmHandlerCallbacks_t, 
    handlerParams: [*c]c.LmHandlerParams_t
) c.LmHandlerErrorStatus_t;

(Source)

After fixing the Opaque Type, Zig Compiler successfully compiles our LoRaWAN Test App lorawan_test.zig yay!

Macro Error

While compiling our LoRaWAN Test App lorawan_test.zig, we see this Macro Error...

zig-cache/o/23409ceec9a6e6769c416fde1695882f/cimport.zig:2904:32: 
error: unable to translate macro: undefined identifier `LL`
pub const __INT64_C_SUFFIX__ = @compileError("unable to translate macro: undefined identifier `LL`"); 
// (no file):178:9

According to the Zig Docs, this means that the Zig Compiler failed to translate a C Macro...

• "C Macros"

So we define LL ourselves...

/// Import the LoRaWAN Library from C
const c = @cImport({
    // Workaround for "Unable to translate macro: undefined identifier `LL`"
    @cDefine("LL", "");

(LL is the "long long" suffix for C Constants, which is probably not needed when we import C Types and Functions into Zig)

Then Zig Compiler emits this error...

zig-cache/o/83fc6cf7a78f5781f258f156f891554b/cimport.zig:2940:26: 
error: unable to translate C expr: unexpected token '##'
pub const __int_c_join = @compileError("unable to translate C expr: unexpected token '##'"); 
// /home/user/zig-linux-x86_64-0.10.0-dev.2351+b64a1d5ab/lib/include/stdint.h:282:9

Which refers to this line in stdint.h...

#define __int_c_join(a, b) a ## b

The __int_c_join Macro fails because the LL suffix is now blank and the ## Concatenation Operator fails.

We redefine the __int_c_join Macro without the ## Concatenation Operator...

/// Import the LoRaWAN Library from C
const c = @cImport({
    // Workaround for "Unable to translate macro: undefined identifier `LL`"
    @cDefine("LL", "");
    @cDefine("__int_c_join(a, b)", "a");  //  Bypass zig/lib/include/stdint.h

Now Zig Compiler successfully compiles our LoRaWAN Test App lorawan_test.zig

Struct Initialisation Error

Zig Compiler crashes when it tries to initialise the Timer Struct at startup...

/// Timer to handle the application data transmission duty cycle

// Zig Compiler crashes with...

So we initialise the Timer Struct in the Main Function instead...

/// Timer to handle the application data transmission duty cycle.
/// Init the timer in Main Function.
var TxTimer: c.TimerEvent_t = undefined;

/// Main Function
pub export fn lorawan_test_main(
    _argc: c_int, 
    _argv: [*]const [*]const u8
) c_int {
    // Init the Timer Struct at startup
    TxTimer = std.mem.zeroes(c.TimerEvent_t);

Safety Checks

The Zig Compiler reveals interesting insights when auto-translating our C code to Zig.

This C code copies an array, byte by byte...

static int8_t FragDecoderWrite( uint32_t addr, uint8_t *data, uint32_t size ) {
    ...
    for(uint32_t i = 0; i < size; i++ ) {
        UnfragmentedData[addr + i] = data[i];
    }
    return 0; // Success
}

(Source)

Here's the auto-translated Zig code...

pub fn FragDecoderWrite(arg_addr: u32, arg_data: [*c]u8, arg_size: u32) callconv(.C) i8 {
    ...
    var size = arg_size;
    var i: u32 = 0;
    while (i < size) : (i +%= 1) {
        UnfragmentedData[addr +% i] = data[i];
    }
    return 0;
}

(Source)

Note that the Array Indexing in C...

//  Array Indexing in C...
UnfragmentedData[addr + i]

Gets translated to this in Zig...

//  Array Indexing in Zig...
UnfragmentedData[addr +% i]

+ in C becomes +% in Zig!

What's +% in Zig?

That's the Zig Operator for Wraparound Addition.

Which means that the result wraps back to 0 (and beyond) if the addition overflows the integer.

But this isn't what we intended, since we don't expect the addition to overflow. That's why in our final converted Zig code, we revert +% back to +...

export fn FragDecoderWrite(addr: u32, data: [*c]u8, size: u32) i8 {
    ...
    var i: u32 = 0;
    while (i < size) : (i += 1) {
        UnfragmentedData[addr + i] = data[i];
    }
    return 0; // Success
}

(Source)

What happens if the addition overflows?

We'll see a Runtime Error...

panic: integer overflow

(Source)

Which is probably a good thing, to ensure that our values are sensible.

What if our Array Index goes out of bounds?

We'll get this Runtime Error...

panic: index out of bounds

(Source)

Here's the list of Safety Checks done by Zig at runtime...

• "Undefined Behavior"

If we prefer to live recklessly, this is how we disable the Safety Checks...

• "@setRuntimeSafety"

Panic Handler

Some debug features don't seem to be working? Like unreachable, std.debug.assert and std.debug.panic?

That's because for Embedded Platforms we need to implement our own Panic Handler...

• "Using Zig to Provide Stack Traces on Kernel Panic for a Bare Bones Operating System"

• Default Panic Handler: std.debug.default_panic

With our own Panic Handler, this Assertion Failure...

//  Create a short alias named `assert`
const assert = std.debug.assert;

//  Assertion Failure
assert(TxPeriodicity != 0);

Will show this Stack Trace...

!ZIG PANIC!
reached unreachable code
Stack Trace:
0x23016394
0x23016ce0

According to our RISC-V Disassembly, the first address 23016394 doesn't look interesting, because it's inside the assert function...

/home/user/zig-linux-x86_64-0.10.0-dev.2351+b64a1d5ab/lib/std/debug.zig:259
pub fn assert(ok: bool) void {

23016394:	a009                j	23016396 <std.debug.assert+0x2e>

But the second address 23016ce0 reveals the assertion that failed...

/home/user/nuttx/zig-bl602-nuttx/lorawan_test.zig:95
    assert(TxPeriodicity != 0);

    TxTimer = std.mem.zeroes(c.TimerEvent_t);
23016ce0:	42016537          	lui	a0,0x42016

This is our implementation of the Zig Panic Handler...

/// https://andrewkelley.me/post/zig-stack-traces-kernel-panic-bare-bones-os.html

) noreturn {
    // Print the Panic Message

    _ = puts(@ptrCast([*c]const u8, message));

    // Print the Stack Trace
    _ = puts("Stack Trace:");
    var it = std.debug.StackIterator.init(@returnAddress(), null);
    while (it.next()) |return_address| {
        _ = printf("%p\n", return_address);
    }

    // Halt
    while(true) {}
}

(Source)

Logging

We have implemented Debug Logging std.log.debug that's described here...

• "A simple overview of Zig's std.log"

Here's how we call std.log.debug to print a log message...

//  Create a short alias named `debug`
const debug  = std.log.debug;

//  Message with 8 bytes
const msg: []const u8 = "Hi NuttX";

//  Print the message
debug("Transmit to LoRaWAN ({} bytes): {s}", .{ 
    msg.len, msg 
});

// Prints: Transmit to LoRaWAN (8 bytes): Hi NuttX

.{ ... } creates an Anonymous Struct with a variable number of arguments that will be passed to std.log.debug for printing.

Below is our implementation of std.log.debug...

/// Called by Zig for `std.log.debug`, `std.log.info`, `std.log.err`, ...
/// https://gist.github.com/leecannon/d6f5d7e5af5881c466161270347ce84d
pub fn log(
    comptime _message_level: std.log.Level,
    comptime _scope: @Type(.EnumLiteral),
    comptime format: []const u8,
    args: anytype,
) void {
    _ = _message_level;
    _ = _scope;

    // Format the message
    var buf: [100]u8 = undefined;  // Limit to 100 chars
    var slice = std.fmt.bufPrint(&buf, format, args)
        catch { _ = puts("*** log error: buf too small"); return; };
    
    // Terminate the formatted message with a null
    var buf2: [buf.len + 1 : 0]u8 = undefined;
    std.mem.copy(
        u8, 
        buf2[0..slice.len], 
        slice[0..slice.len]
    );
    buf2[slice.len] = 0;

    // Print the formatted message
    _ = puts(&buf2);
}

(Source)

This implementation calls puts(), which is supported by Apache NuttX RTOS since it's POSIX-Compliant.

Compare C and Zig

The Original C Code and the Converted Zig Code for our LoRaWAN App look highly similar.

Here's the Main Function from our Original C Code...

/// Main Function that will be called by NuttX. We call the LoRaWAN Library 
/// to Join a LoRaWAN Network and send a Data Packet.
int main(int argc, FAR char *argv[]) {
    //  If we are using Entropy Pool and the BL602 ADC is available,
    //  add the Internal Temperature Sensor data to the Entropy Pool
    init_entropy_pool();

    //  Compute the interval between transmissions based on Duty Cycle
    TxPeriodicity = APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE + randr( -APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE_RND, APP_TX_DUTYCYCLE_RND );

    const Version_t appVersion    = { .Value = FIRMWARE_VERSION };
    const Version_t gitHubVersion = { .Value = GITHUB_VERSION };
    DisplayAppInfo( "lorawan_test", 
                    &appVersion,
                    &gitHubVersion );

    //  Init LoRaWAN
    if ( LmHandlerInit( &LmHandlerCallbacks, &LmHandlerParams ) != LORAMAC_HANDLER_SUCCESS )
    {
        printf( "LoRaMac wasn't properly initialized\n" );
        //  Fatal error, endless loop.
        while ( 1 ) {}
    }

    // Set system maximum tolerated rx error in milliseconds
    LmHandlerSetSystemMaxRxError( 20 );

    // The LoRa-Alliance Compliance protocol package should always be initialized and activated.
    LmHandlerPackageRegister( PACKAGE_ID_COMPLIANCE, &LmhpComplianceParams );
    LmHandlerPackageRegister( PACKAGE_ID_CLOCK_SYNC, NULL );
    LmHandlerPackageRegister( PACKAGE_ID_REMOTE_MCAST_SETUP, NULL );
    LmHandlerPackageRegister( PACKAGE_ID_FRAGMENTATION, &FragmentationParams );

    IsClockSynched     = false;
    IsFileTransferDone = false;

    //  Join the LoRaWAN Network
    LmHandlerJoin( );

    //  Set the Transmit Timer
    StartTxProcess( LORAMAC_HANDLER_TX_ON_TIMER );

    //  Handle LoRaWAN Events
    handle_event_queue(NULL);  //  Never returns

    return 0;
}

Zig Type Reflection

Zig Type Reflection ... Can we use it to generate a Structured Call Graph for C Libraries ... Like for the LoRaWAN Library? 🤔

This Zig Program imports the LoRaWAN Library from C and dumps out the LoRaWAN Types and Functions...

// Do Type Reflection on the imported C functions
fn reflect() void {
    // We run this at Compile-Time (instead of Runtime)...
    comptime {
        // Allow Zig Compiler to loop up to 100,000 times (Default is 1,000)
        @setEvalBranchQuota(100_000);

        // Get the Type Info of the C Namespace
        const T = @typeInfo(c);

        // Show the Type Info of the C Namespace (Struct)
        @compileLog("@typeInfo(c): ", T);
        // Shows | *"@typeInfo(c): ", std.builtin.Type { .Struct = (struct std.builtin.Type.Struct constant)}

        // Show the number of Fields in the C Namespace (0)
        @compileLog("T.Struct.fields.len: ", T.Struct.fields.len);
        // Shows | *"T.Struct.fields.len: ", 0

        @compileLog("T.Struct.decls.len: ", T.Struct.decls.len);
        // Shows | *"T.Struct.decls.len: ", 4743

        // Show the first Declaration in the C Namespace (__builtin_bswap16)
        @compileLog("T.Struct.decls[0].name: ", T.Struct.decls[0].name);
        // Shows | *"T.Struct.decls[0].name: ", "__builtin_bswap16"

        // For every C Declaration...
        for (T.Struct.decls) |decl, i| {
            // If the C Declaration starts with "Lm" (LoRaMAC)...
            if (std.mem.startsWith(u8, decl.name, "Lm")) {
                // Dump the C Declaration
                var T2 = @typeInfo(c);
                @compileLog("decl.name: ", T2.Struct.decls[i].name);

                // Strangely we can't do this...
                //   @compileLog("decl.name: ", decl.name);
                // Because it shows...
                //   *"decl.name: ", []const u8{76,109,110,83,116,97,116,117,115,95,116}

Which is a list of C Types and Functions from the LoRaWAN Library.

Let's use this to visualise the Call Graph (by module) for the LoRaWAN Library.

We'll render the Call Graph with Mermaid.js...

https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/./flowchart?id=flowcharts

And we'll group LoRaWAN Functions in Call Graph by LoRaWAN Module (Subgraph), so we can see the calls across LoRaWAN Modules.

Heisenbug

In the code above, why did we use T2.Struct.decls[i].name instead of decl.name?

// For every C Declaration...
for (T.Struct.decls) |decl, i| {
    // If the C Declaration starts with "Lm" (LoRaMAC)...
    if (std.mem.startsWith(u8, decl.name, "Lm")) {
        // Dump the C Declaration
        var T2 = @typeInfo(c);

        // Can't use decl.name here...
        @compileLog("decl.name: ", T2.Struct.decls[i].name);
    }
}

We expect this code to print the name of the declaration...

@compileLog("decl.name: ", decl.name);

Like so...

"decl.name: ", "LmnStatus_t"

But strangely it prints the bytes...

"decl.name: ", []const u8{76,109,110,83,116,97,116,117,115,95,116}

Zig Compiler seems to interpret the name differently after we have referenced the name earlier...

// If the C Declaration starts with "Lm" (LoRaMAC)...
if (std.mem.startsWith(u8, decl.name, "Lm")) { ...

So we use this workaround instead...

// Get a fresh reference to the Type Info
var T2 = @typeInfo(c);

// This works OK
@compileLog("decl.name: ", T2.Struct.decls[i].name);

Which produces the result we need...

"decl.name: ", "LmnStatus_t"

Group by C Header Files

Can we automatically identify the LoRaWAN Module for every LoRaWAN Function, by analysing the HEADER_NAME_H__ C Header Macros?

Let's try this to dump out all C Declarations and Macros imported from C...

// Get the Type Info of the C Namespace
const T = @typeInfo(c);

// Remember the C Header
var header: []const u8 = "";

// For every C Declaration...
for (T.Struct.decls) |decl, i| {
    var T2 = @typeInfo(c);

    // If the C Declaration ends with "_H"...
    if (
        std.mem.endsWith(u8, decl.name, "_H") or
        std.mem.endsWith(u8, decl.name, "_H_") or
        std.mem.endsWith(u8, decl.name, "_H__")
    ) {
        // Dump the C Header and remember it
        var name = T2.Struct.decls[i].name;
        @compileLog("-----", name);
        header = name;

    } else {
        // Dump the C Declaration
        var name = T2.Struct.decls[i].name;
        @compileLog("decl.name:", name);
    }
}   // End of C Declaration

(Source)

We get this list of LoRaWAN Functions and LoRaWAN Macros...

| *"decl.name:", "LmHandlerInit"
| *"decl.name:", "LmHandlerIsBusy"
| *"decl.name:", "LmHandlerProcess"
| *"decl.name:", "LmHandlerGetDutyCycleWaitTime"
| *"decl.name:", "LmHandlerSend"
| *"decl.name:", "LmHandlerJoin"
...
| *"-----", "__LORAMAC_HANDLER_H__"
| *"-----", "__LORAMAC_HANDLER_TYPES_H__"
| *"decl.name:", "LMH_SYS_TIME_UPDATE_NEW_API"
| *"decl.name:", "__LMHP_COMPLIANCE__"

(Source)

Which isn't useful. LmHandlerInit is actually declared inside the C Header File for __LORAMAC_HANDLER_H__. But somehow the Zig Type Reflection moves LmHandlerInit up to the top, before __LORAMAC_HANDLER_H__ appears.

So it seems we need to manually group the LoRaWAN Functions into LoRaWAN Modules.

The LoRaWAN Functions appear to be sequenced according to the C Header File, so we only need to manually tag the first LoRaWAN Function for each LoRaWAN Module. Like this...

LmHandlerInit → __LORAMAC_HANDLER_H__
LoRaMacInitialization → __LORAMAC_H__
RegionCommonValueInRange → __REGIONCOMMON_H__
SX126xInit → __SX126x_H__
SX126xIoInit → __SX126x_BOARD_H__

Self Type Reflection

Our Zig App can do Type Reflection on itself to discover its Types, Constants, Variables and Functions...

// Show the Type Info for our Zig Namespace
const ThisType = @typeInfo(@This());
@compileLog("ThisType: ", ThisType);
@compileLog("ThisType.Struct.decls.len: ", ThisType.Struct.decls.len);
@compileLog("ThisType.Struct.decls[0].name: ", ThisType.Struct.decls[0].name);
@compileLog("ThisType.Struct.decls[1].name: ", ThisType.Struct.decls[1].name);
@compileLog("ThisType.Struct.decls[2].name: ", ThisType.Struct.decls[2].name);

// Shows...
// | *"ThisType: ", std.builtin.Type { .Struct = (struct std.builtin.Type.Struct constant)}
// | *"ThisType.Struct.decls.len: ", 66
// | *"ThisType.Struct.decls[0].name: ", "std"
// | *"ThisType.Struct.decls[1].name: ", "c"
// | *"ThisType.Struct.decls[2].name: ", "ACTIVE_REGION"

We'll use this to plot the Function Calls from our Zig Functions to the C Functions in the LoRaWAN Library.

Import Call Log

Earlier we have captured this Call Log: A log of calls to the C Functions in the LoRaWAN Library...

init_event_queue
TimerInit:     0x4201c76c
SX126xIoInit: Compiled with gcc
init_gpio

Each line of the Call Log contains the LoRaWAN Function Name. We'll match this with the info from Zig Type Reflection to plot the Call Graph.

We import the Call Log into our Zig App like so...

Zig Compiler can process the Call Log line by line like so...

// Show the first line of the Call Log
var call_log_split = std.mem.split(u8, call_log, "\n");
const line = call_log_split.next();
@compileLog("line:", line);

// Shows | *"line:", []const u8{103,112,108,104,95,101,110,97,98,108,101,58,32,87,65,82,78,73,78,71,58,32,112,105,110,57,58,32,65,108,114,101,97,100,121,32,100,101,116,97,99,104,101,100}

(Source)

To iterate through all lines of the Call Log we do this...

// For every line in the Call Log...
var call_log_split = std.mem.split(u8, call_log, "\n");
while (call_log_split.next()) |line| {

    // TODO: Process the line
    @compileLog("line:", line);
    ...
}  // End of Call Log

(Source)

Match Call Log

Let's match the Call Log with the Function Names from our LoRaWAN Library...

// For every line in the Call Log...
var call_log_split = std.mem.split(u8, call_log, "\n");
while (call_log_split.next()) |line| {

    // For every C Declaration...
    for (T.Struct.decls) |decl, i| {
        if (std.mem.eql(u8, decl.name, "Radio")) { continue; }  // Skip Radio
        var T2 = @typeInfo(c);

        // If the C Declaration matches the Call Log...
        if (std.mem.startsWith(u8, line, decl.name)) {
            // Dump the C Declaration
            var name = T2.Struct.decls[i].name;
            @compileLog("Found call log", name);
            break;
        }
    }   // End of C Declaration

}  // End of Call Log

(Source)

The code above produces this result...

| *"Found call log", "LoRaMacInitialization"
| *"Found call log", "TimerInit"
| *"Found call log", "SX126xIoInit"
| *"Found call log", "SX126xSetTx"

...

Which is a list of LoRaWAN Functions and the sequence they were called.

One step closer to rendering our Structured Call Graph!

Draw The Graph

Let's extend the code above and render a Naive Call Graph...

• For every LoRaWAN Function that we identify in the Call Log...

• We plot a line between the LoRaWAN Function and the next LoRaWAN Function in the Call Log

• So we're just plotting the connected sequence of Function Calls

(Yep it's super naive!)

We do it like this...

// Draw the graph for all functions in the Call Log
var call_log_split = std.mem.split(u8, call_log, "\n");
var prev_name: []const u8 = "Start";
@compileLog("flowchart TD;");  // Top-Down Flowchart

// For every line in the Call Log...
while (call_log_split.next()) |line| {

    // For every C Declaration...
    for (T.Struct.decls) |decl, i| {
        if (std.mem.eql(u8, decl.name, "Radio")) { continue; }  // Skip Radio
        var T2 = @typeInfo(c);

        // If the C Declaration matches the Call Log...
        if (std.mem.startsWith(u8, line, decl.name)) {
            // Draw the graph: [previous function]-->[current function]
            var name = T2.Struct.decls[i].name;
            @compileLog("    ", prev_name, "-->", name, ";");
            prev_name = name;
            break;
        }
    }   // End of C Declaration

}  // End of Call Log
@compileLog("    ", prev_name, "-->", "End", ";");

    TimerInit-->RadioSetModem;

Our Call Graph lacks Structure. Remember we're only plotting the sequence of Function Calls...

• TimerInit → TimerInit doesn't make sense (because we don't have recursive functions)

• TimerInit → RadioSetModem is totally wrong because TimerInit is a Low-Level Function (NimBLE Multithreading Library), whereas RadioSetModem is an High-Level Function (SX1262 Library)

Can we add some Structure to improve the Call Graph?

To produce a Structured Call Graph we'll group the functions into Modules, from High-Level to Low-Level...

1. Zig App (Highest Level)

2. LoRaWAN Library

3. SX1262 Library

4. NimBLE Multithreading Library (Lowest Level)

And we'll ensure that we never draw a line from a Low-Level Function to a High-Level Function.

This is a snippet of what we want to achieve...

    subgraph LoRaWAN;
        Start;
        LoRaMacInitialization;
    end;
    subgraph SX1262;
        SX126xIoInit;
        SX126xSetTx;
        SX126xSetPaConfig;
    end;

Group Functions by Modules

Let's add some Structure to our Call Graph by grouping the C Functions into Modules.

This is how we define the Modules, from High Level to Low Level...

// Define the Modules and the First / Last Functions in each Module.
// We order the Modules from High-Level to Low-Level.
var all_modules = [_]Module {
    // LoRaMAC Handler is the Top Level Module that drives the LoRaWAN Stack
    Module {
        .name           = "LMHandler",
        .first_function = "LmHandlerInit",
        .last_function  = "DisplayAppInfo",
        .first_index    = undefined,
        .last_index     = undefined,
    },
    // LoRaMAC Module is the implementation of the LoRaWAN Driver
    Module {
        .name           = "LoRaMAC",
        .first_function = "LoRaMacInitialization",
        .last_function  = "LoRaMacDeInitialization",
        .first_index    = undefined,
        .last_index     = undefined,
    },
    // Radio Module is the abstract interface for LoRa Radio Transceivers
    Module {
        .name           = "Radio",
        .first_function = "RadioInit",
        .last_function  = "RadioAddRegisterToRetentionList",
        .first_index    = undefined,
        .last_index     = undefined,
    },
    // SX1262 Module is the LoRa Driver for Semtech SX1262 Radio Transceiver
    Module {
        .name           = "SX1262",
        .first_function = "SX126xInit",
        .last_function  = "SX126xSetOperatingMode",
        .first_index    = undefined,
        .last_index     = undefined,
    },
    // NimBLE is the Bottom Level Module that contains Multithreading Functions like Timers and Event Queues
    Module {
        .name           = "NimBLE",
        .first_function = "TimerInit",
        .last_function  = "TimerGetElapsedTime",
        .first_index    = undefined,
        .last_index     = undefined,
    },
};

Note that we specify only the First and Last Functions for each Module.

That's because functions from the same Module are clustered together in the Zig Type Reflection.

Then we render each Module as a Mermaid.js Subgraph...

/// Render all Modules and their Functions as Subgraphs
fn render_modules(all_modules: []Module) void {
    comptime {
        // Render every Module
        for (all_modules) |module, m| {
            @compileLog("    subgraph ", module.name, ";");

            // For every line in the Call Log...
            var call_log_split = std.mem.split(u8, call_log, "\n");
            while (call_log_split.next()) |line| {
                var T = @typeInfo(c);

                // If the Call Log matches a C Declaration...
                if (get_decl_by_name_filtered(all_modules, line)) |decl_index| {

                    // Get the Module Index for the C Declaration
                    if (get_module_by_decl(all_modules, decl_index)) |m2| {

                        // If the C Declaration matches our Module Index...
                        if (m == m2) {

                            // Print the Function Name
                            var name = T.Struct.decls[decl_index].name;
                            @compileLog("        ", name, ";");
                        }
                    } else {
                        // Missing Declaration
                        var name = T.Struct.decls[decl_index].name;
                        @compileLog("Missing Decl:", name);
                    }
                }
            }  // End of Call Log            

            @compileLog("    end;");
        }  // End of Module
    }
}

Each Subgraph contains a list of Functions that belong to the Module...

flowchart TD;
    subgraph LMHandler;
        LmHandlerSend;
    end;
    subgraph LoRaMAC;
        LoRaMacInitialization;
    end;
    subgraph Radio;
        RadioSetModem;
        RadioSetPublicNetwork;
        RadioSleep;
        RadioSetChannel;
        RadioSetTxConfig;
        RadioStandby;
        RadioSend;
        RadioIrqProcess;
        ...
    end;
    subgraph SX1262;
        SX126xIoInit;
        SX126xSetTx;
        SX126xSetPaConfig;
    end;
    subgraph NimBLE;
        TimerInit;
        TimerStop;
        TimerStart;
        TimerSetValue;
    end;
    Start-->LoRaMacInitialization;
    LoRaMacInitialization-->TimerInit;
    TimerInit-->SX126xIoInit;
    ...

When we render the output with Mermaid.js, we get a Structured Call Graph that looks more meaningful...

On macOS, Zig Compiler consumes over 34 GB of memory and crashes...

(On WSL, Zig Compiler hangs the WSL process when it consumes over 4 GB of memory)

This happens because our code loops repeatedly over 4,700 C Declarations while processing 1,500 lines of Raw Call Logs.

Let's optimise our code.

Fix Out Of Memory

Our code searches for a C Declaration by looping repeatedly over 4,700 C Declarations like so...

/// Return the C Declaration Index for the Function Name.
/// We match the C Declaration Name against the start of the Function Name.
/// This is the slower, unfiltered version that searches all C Declarations.
fn get_decl_by_name(name: []const u8) ?usize {
    comptime {
        const T = @typeInfo(c);

        // For every C Declaration...
        for (T.Struct.decls) |decl, i| {
            if (std.mem.eql(u8, decl.name, "Radio")) { continue; }  // Skip Radio

            // If the C Declaration starts with the Function Name...
            if (std.mem.startsWith(u8, name, decl.name)) {

                // Return the C Declaration Index
                return i;
            }
        }   // End of C Declaration
        return null;  // Not found
    }
}

(Source)

Which causes Zig Compiler to crash with Out Of Memory. But we don't actually need to loop through all the C Declarations!

According to our list of Modules, we call only 173 Functions. Let's fix the above function so that we loop over the 173 Functions instead...

/// Return the C Declaration Index for the Function Name.
/// We match the C Declaration Name against the start of the Function Name.
/// This is the faster, filtered version that searches C Declarations by Modules.
fn get_decl_by_name_filtered(all_modules: []Module, name: []const u8) ?usize {
    comptime {
        const T = @typeInfo(c);

        // Search all Modules for the Function Name
        for (all_modules) |module| {

            // For every C Declaration in the Module...
            var decl_index = module.first_index;
            while (decl_index <= module.last_index) {

                // Get the C Declaration
                var decl = T.Struct.decls[decl_index];
                if (std.mem.eql(u8, decl.name, "Radio")) { continue; }  // Skip Radio

                // If the C Declaration starts with the Function Name...
                if (std.mem.startsWith(u8, name, decl.name)) {

                    // Return the C Declaration Index
                    return decl_index;
                }
                decl_index += 1;
            }  // End of C Declaration
        }  // End of Module
        return null;  // Not found
    }
}

(Source)

And our code runs OK with Zig Compiler!

(macOS, not WSL though)

Wishlist for Zig Compiler

Building a Call Graph at Compile-Time with Zig Compiler looks pretty challenging.

I hope that future versions of the Zig Compiler will support the following...

• Type Reflection for C Declarations will provide the full path of source files

  (Makes it easier to identify the module for each declaration)

• @compileLog will emit any kind of strings

  (So that @compileLog can generate proper Mermaid.js strings like "Start-->LoRaMacInitialization;")
