  • Feature RFC: Flatbuffers support for Optional types.

    Feature RFC: Flatbuffers support for Optional types.

    Note: This top comment is heavily edited. It was kept up with the current state until this issue closed.

    Motivation

    Flatbuffers should allow users to choose to use optional types. There has been some interest in distinguishing between default values (which are not stored in the binary) and some notion of None which the user controls.

    Here are some links to previous interest in this idea:

    • #333
    • #3777
    • https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/flatbuffers/1hrNtBI0BQI
    • https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/5875#issuecomment-619737916

    Currently, a user can control a field's presence in the binary by specifying "force_defaults" and checking "IsFieldPresent" which is a bit of a hack. This proposal should define proper Flatbuffers optional types, which should be a better way of doing this. Use of this feature is only advisable for new fields, since changing default values is in general backwards-incompatible.

    How do we represent this in the schema file?

    We will specify it like so

    table Monster { mana: int = null; }

    This visually implies that optional types are at odds with default values and is "consistent" since the value to the right of the equals sign is what we interpret non-presence to mean.

    Change to Schema Grammar:

    field_decl = ident : type [ = (scalar | null) ] metadata ;

    ~We can add a field tag, e.g. "optional" or "no_default", that triggers this behavior. Hopefully no one is using those tags. Maybe we can make it specifiable to flatc, an "--optional-field-keyword-tag" flag, just in case people are using it and can't stop.~

    How do we represent this in the binary?

    We are going with option (A).

    (A) Non-Presence means None

    Instead of omitting zero-like values, the generated code must store them. Non-presence for optional fields no longer means "whatever the default is," now it means None. You can interpret it as "the default value is None". This also means we cannot specify both specify a non-null default and mark the field as optional.

    Pros:

    • This seems more intuitive.
    • It aligns with the "force_defaults" + "IsFieldPresent" hacky manual approximation of this feature.
    • If Nones are more common than zero-likes then this will have smaller binaries.

    Cons:

    • @aardappel thinks this is harder to implement

      "making presence an indicator would require we pass this special field status down to the field construction code to override the current val == default check, which means slowdown, codegen and runtime changes in all languages.. whereas my "least likely to be used default" trick requires no changes"

    ~(B) Some Sentinel value means None~

    In this scenario, zero-like values are still not stored. Instead we choose some "sentinel" value which we interpret to be None (e.g. int can use int_min and float can use some kind of Nan).

    Pros:

    • @aardappel thinks this is easier to implement

      "it requires the schema parser to set default values for you, and no changes anywhere else"

    • If zero-likes are more common than None then this will have smaller binaries

    Cons:

    • Someone might want to use the sentinel value (Hyrum's law).
      • This can be mitigated by publishing the sentinels and letting users decide whether they need the sentinels.
    • This probably won't work for fields representing raw bits.

    How do we represent this in every language API?

    We'll need to change the type signature of all generated code (building/reading/mutating/object/etc) around the optional type to signal its optional-ness. I think we should use the language's local standard for optional types. Suggestions:

    • Python: Optional[T].
    • Rust: Option<T>.
    • C++17 has std::optional<T> but its not obvious what to use for earlier versions. T* would work.
    • Java: Optional shows up in Java 1.8 and triggers autoboxing, so idk :/

    The exact generated-API for a language should be discussed in the PR implementing this feature in that language.

  • [Swift] Swift implementation 🎉🎉

    [Swift] Swift implementation 🎉🎉

    Good afternoon,

    @mzaks and I hope with this PR we would be able to add an official implementation for swift, it's heavily inspired by the C++ and C# implementations. There are some elements that are still missing such as the code generator and also documentation for the code base, however I found that we can implement those after getting an initial review for the swift code base, and if it lives up to the standards.

    The FlatBuffer class uses apples underlaying UnsafeMutableRawPointer which allows is to write directly to the memory, and lefts a lot of heavy weight from our shoulders, since this implementation comes which the following function storeBytes with takes a value and it's Bytes representation and just adds it to the buffer. UnsafeMutableRawPointer the name is a bit misleading since it's actually safe to use if everything writing the bytes is well structured. and since we don't really allow the user to get to the underlying adding and pushing to the buffer and only allowing them to do so through the builder it would be completely safe to use it.

    The FlatBuffersBuilder class uses the same underlying logic as C++ and C#, but unlike C# it relies on generics to actually add bytes and elements into the buffer. we took a different approach regarding adding the structs into the buffer, since swift uses the storeBytes to actually store the struct into the buffer, and since FlatBuffers do not allow string in Structs we took that into our advantage.

    struct Vec2: Writeable {
    var _x: Float32
    var _y: Float32
    var _z: Float32
    var _c: Color2

     init(x: Float32, y: Float32, z: Float32, color: Color2) { _c = color; _x = x; _y = y; _z = z }

     static func createVec2(_ bb: FlatBuffersBuilder, v: Vec2) -> Offset<UOffset> {
        return bb.create(struct: v)
    }
}

    the following struct will be able to be directly inserted into the buffer, and we will be implementing a reader struct that will read the Writable struct as shown below. This will have the same concept as the builder Objects in c++. The readers were implemented to follow the C# way of fetching elements from the buffer.

    struct Vec2_Read: Readable {
    private var __p: Struct
    init(_ fb: FlatBuffer, o: Int32) { __p = Struct(bb: fb, position: o) }
    var c: Color2 { return Color2(rawValue: __p.readBuffer(of: Int32.self, at: 12)) ?? .red }
    var x: Float32 { return __p.readBuffer(of: Float32.self, at: 0)}
    var y: Float32 { return __p.readBuffer(of: Float32.self, at: 4)}
    var z: Float32 { return __p.readBuffer(of: Float32.self, at: 8)}
}

    All the test case are passing, and they were created by the flatc code generator for both C++ and C#, and the basic implementation of swift was verified against those two since the code generator isn't implemented yet.

    what's missing: 1- Code Generator 2- Documentation 3- Benchmarking

    when merging this PR we would be closing the following issues, Closes #5504. and I will be rebasing the commit before merging for sure

  • Tracking issue: Rust buffer verification

    Tracking issue: Rust buffer verification

    This is a tracking issue to document design and implementation of a verifier system for Rust Flatbuffers. I'm thinking that we can clone the logic from the C++ codebase.

    The benefit is twofold:

    1. Verifiers let users check if data is valid, thereby providing a security check for unknown data.
    2. If a buffer is verified, we can justify using more unsafe pointer access in Rust, thereby removing bounds checking.

    Anyone have thoughts on this? @aardappel

  • FlatBuffers 2.0 tracking issue

    FlatBuffers 2.0 tracking issue

    This issue is to keep track of the FlatBuffers 2.0 release, which is intended to be "soon", but also "when its done".

    2.0 you ask? Wasn't the last one 1.12 ? Yes, because:

    • We're going to attempt to adhere as best we can to "Semantic Versioning" from now on. Past releases were simply 1.0 thru 1.12 with no regard for how many breaking changes were in a release. Generally, every release so far has been breaking for at least 1 language, but we have not expressed that. If we continue our habit of occasionally breaking APIs, the release after this one may thus have to be 3.0 instead of 2.1, but we'll see. Our version architect is @krojew
    • We actually do seem to have more breaking changes than usual, with especially Rust getting a big overhaul, but also Swift, Python and others. So 2.0 seems appropriate.

    What are we waiting for? We are waiting for some of these larger breaking changes to "settle down". This thread will link those issues, once all are merged we'll get the release going.

    Also worth mentioning: we are attempting to work towards a structure where FlatBuffers development is more "distributed", with clear individual maintainers for each language, that may at some point may make language package releases and such independently of the main FlatBuffers releases. But this will take time.

  • [Python] (scalar) vector reading speedup via numpy

    [Python] (scalar) vector reading speedup via numpy

    Reading vectors with generated Python code is slow. There have been other efforts to speed this up but they appear to have stagnated.

    This PR attempts to make a minimal change that covers a use case I personally hit a lot (copying over large vectors that represent nested flatbuffers). There may be other small changes that could drastically speed up other use cases that are not included here since I am unaware of them :)

    What's the change?

    This PR adds support for accessing a scalar vector as a numpy array of the corresponding type. This is much faster than copying large vectors element-by-element.

    • Update the Table class in Python to have a GetVectorAsNumpy method which returns a zero-copy view (in numpy terminology) into a scalar vector cast as the correct type.
    • Update the python-code-generation code (idl_gen_python.cpp) to generate a method which wraps GetVectorAsNumpy in generated code. This method is named <field name>AsNumpy, which can be compared to the generated name of the method to get the length of a vector, <field name>Length. Attempting to use this method if numpy is not installed will result in an error, but otherwise numpy is optional.
    • Update appveyor CI to run Python tests.
    • Update python docs appropriately.

    Previous issues related to big-endian support include https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/7366, https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/7671, and https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/7685.

    It seems like the solution here is to compare against explicitly little-endian dtypes. For example, in test_consistenty_with_repeated_pack_and_unpack (which has a typo, consistenty/consistency in its name), the value of VectorOfLongs.dtype is np.dtype('<i8') on big-endian platforms. For this test, it should be appropriate to just change the expected dtype to np.dtype('<i8'), since np.dtype('int64') == np.dtype('<i8') on little-endian platforms.

    I will follow up with a PR to do that. Once all of the “reference” dtypes in py_test.py are converted to explicitly little-endian ones, I’m left with the following error.

    This appears to be because the format strings for the struct module in flatbuffers/flexbuffers.py and its tests (tests/py_flexbuffers_test.py) are all implicitly host-endian, even though as I understand it the flatbuffers wire format is always little-endian, and even though the other modules in flexbuffers appear to already use explicitly little-endian format strings. I will fix that in my PR, too.

  • Stop using deprecated imp package in Python tests

    Stop using deprecated imp package in Python tests

    It is deprecated in favour of importlib and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Since the return value of imp.find_module('numpy') is unused, the only effect of calling this function is to raise an ImportError when numpy is not available; importing numpy directly is already sufficient to do this.

    The imp package is still used in python/flatbuffers/compat.py, but only on Python 2, where it is not deprecated and will not be removed.

  • v2.0.7(Aug 23, 2022)

    This is a minor release with lots of changes :)

    I would like to get in the habit of releasing more often (at least for the flatc and C++ libraries) and the first step is to reduce the amount of diffs between releases (especially patch/revision only updates).

    See a high level change log notes in our new CHANGELOG.md document, with the following list auto generated by github release workflow:

    • Support for optional scalars in most languages.
    • Rust Verifier, Object API and FlexBuffers support, and many API improvements.
    • Overhaul of TypeScript support.
    • gRPC for many languages brought up to date.
    • C++ compile time field reflection.
    • JS FlexBuffers support.
    • Kotlin FlexBuffers and platform support.

  • v1.7.1(Jun 20, 2017)

    This is a bug fix release.

    • Calling CreateVector in C++ on a vector of Offset types with an explicit template parameter (of that Offset type) of could cause the wrong specialization to be selected in 1.7.0. This should affect very few people, but safer to use 1.7.1 just in-case. flatc from 1.7.0 is compatible with 1.7.1.
