Documentation ¶
Overview ¶
Package capnp is a Cap'n Proto library for Go. https://capnproto.org/
Read the Getting Started guide for a tutorial on how to use this package. https://github.com/zombiezen/go-capnproto2/wiki/Getting-Started
Generating code ¶
capnpc-go provides the compiler backend for capnp.
# First, install capnpc-go to $PATH. go install zombiezen.com/go/capnproto2/capnpc-go # Then, generate Go files. capnp compile -I$GOPATH/src/zombiezen.com/go/capnproto2/std -ogo *.capnp
capnpc-go requires two annotations for all files: package and import. package is needed to know what package to place at the head of the generated file and what identifier to use when referring to the type from another package. import should be the fully qualified import path and is used to generate import statement from other packages and to detect when two types are in the same package. For example:
using Go = import "/go.capnp"; $Go.package("main"); $Go.import("zombiezen.com/go/capnproto2/example");
For adding documentation comments to the generated code, there's the doc annotation. This annotation adds the comment to a struct, enum or field so that godoc will pick it up. For example:
struct Zdate $Go.doc("Zdate represents a calendar date") { year @0 :Int16; month @1 :UInt8; day @2 :UInt8 ; }
Messages and Segments ¶
In Cap'n Proto, the unit of communication is a message. A message consists of one or more segments -- contiguous blocks of memory. This allows large messages to be split up and loaded independently or lazily. Typically you will use one segment per message. Logically, a message is organized in a tree of objects, with the root always being a struct (as opposed to a list or primitive). Messages can be read from and written to a stream.
The Message and Segment types are the main types that application code will use from this package. The Message type has methods for marshaling and unmarshaling its segments to the wire format. If the application needs to read or write from a stream, it should use the Encoder and Decoder types.
Pointers ¶
The type for a generic reference to a Cap'n Proto object is Ptr. A Ptr can refer to a struct, a list, or an interface. Ptr, Struct, List, and Interface (the pointer types) have value semantics and refer to data in a single segment. All of the pointer types have a notion of "valid". An invalid pointer will return the default value from any accessor and panic when any setter is called.
In previous versions of this package, the Pointer interface was used instead of the Ptr struct. This interface and functions that use it are now deprecated. See https://github.com/zombiezen/go-capnproto2/wiki/New-Ptr-Type for details about this API change.
Data accessors and setters (i.e. struct primitive fields and list elements) do not return errors, but pointer accessors and setters do. There are a few reasons that a read or write of a pointer can fail, but the most common are bad pointers or allocation failures. For accessors, an invalid object will be returned in case of an error.
Since Go doesn't have generics, wrapper types provide type safety on lists. This package provides lists of basic types, and capnpc-go generates list wrappers for named types. However, if you need to use deeper nesting of lists (e.g. List(List(UInt8))), you will need to use a PointerList and wrap the elements.
Structs ¶
For the following schema:
struct Foo @0x8423424e9b01c0af { num @0 :UInt32; bar @1 :Foo; }
capnpc-go will generate:
// Foo is a pointer to a Foo struct in a segment. // Member functions are provided to get/set members in the // struct. type Foo struct{ capnp.Struct } // Foo_TypeID is the unique identifier for the type Foo. // It remains the same across languages and schema changes. const Foo_TypeID = 0x8423424e9b01c0af // NewFoo creates a new orphaned Foo struct, preferring placement in // s. If there isn't enough space, then another segment in the // message will be used or allocated. You can set a field of type Foo // to this new message, but usually you will want to use the // NewBar()-style method shown below. func NewFoo(s *capnp.Segment) (Foo, error) // NewRootFoo creates a new Foo struct and sets the message's root to // it. func NewRootFoo(s *capnp.Segment) (Foo, error) // ReadRootFoo reads the message's root pointer and converts it to a // Foo struct. func ReadRootFoo(msg *capnp.Message) (Foo, error) // Num returns the value of the num field. func (s Foo) Num() uint32 // SetNum sets the value of the num field to v. func (s Foo) SetNum(v uint32) // Bar returns the value of the bar field. This can return an error // if the pointer goes beyond the segment's range, the segment fails // to load, or the pointer recursion limit has been reached. func (s Foo) Bar() (Foo, error) // HasBar reports whether the bar field was initialized (non-null). func (s Foo) HasBar() bool // SetBar sets the value of the bar field to v. func (s Foo) SetBar(v Foo) error // NewBar sets the bar field to a newly allocated Foo struct, // preferring placement in s's segment. func (s Foo) NewBar() (Foo, error) // Foo_List is a value with pointer semantics. It is created for all // structs, and is used for List(Foo) in the capnp file. type Foo_List struct{ capnp.List } // NewFoo_List creates a new orphaned List(Foo), preferring placement // in s. This can then be added to a message by using a Set function // which takes a Foo_List. sz specifies the number of elements in the // list. The list's size cannot be changed after creation. func NewFoo_List(s *capnp.Segment, sz int32) Foo_List // Len returns the number of elements in the list. func (s Foo_List) Len() int // At returns a pointer to the i'th element. If i is an invalid index, // this will return an invalid Foo (all getters will return default // values, setters will fail). func (s Foo_List) At(i int) Foo // Foo_Promise is a promise for a Foo. Methods are provided to get // promises of struct and interface fields. type Foo_Promise struct{ *capnp.Pipeline } // Get waits until the promise is resolved and returns the result. func (p Foo_Promise) Get() (Foo, error) // Bar returns a promise for that bar field. func (p Foo_Promise) Bar() Foo_Promise
Groups ¶
For each group a typedef is created with a different method set for just the groups fields:
struct Foo { group :Group { field @0 :Bool; } }
generates the following:
type Foo struct{ capnp.Struct } type Foo_group Foo func (s Foo) Group() Foo_group func (s Foo_group) Field() bool
That way the following may be used to access a field in a group:
var f Foo value := f.Group().Field()
Note that group accessors just convert the type and so have no overhead.
Unions ¶
Named unions are treated as a group with an inner unnamed union. Unnamed unions generate an enum Type_Which and a corresponding Which() function:
struct Foo { union { a @0 :Bool; b @1 :Bool; } }
generates the following:
type Foo_Which uint16 const ( Foo_Which_a Foo_Which = 0 Foo_Which_b Foo_Which = 1 ) func (s Foo) A() bool func (s Foo) B() bool func (s Foo) SetA(v bool) func (s Foo) SetB(v bool) func (s Foo) Which() Foo_Which
Which() should be checked before using the getters, and the default case must always be handled.
Setters for single values will set the union discriminator as well as set the value.
For voids in unions, there is a void setter that just sets the discriminator. For example:
struct Foo { union { a @0 :Void; b @1 :Void; } }
generates the following:
func (s Foo) SetA() // Set that we are using A func (s Foo) SetB() // Set that we are using B
Similarly, for groups in unions, there is a group setter that just sets the discriminator. This must be called before the group getter can be used to set values. For example:
struct Foo { union { a :group { v :Bool } b :group { v :Bool } } }
and in usage:
f.SetA() // Set that we are using group A f.A().SetV(true) // then we can use the group A getter to set the inner values
Enums ¶
capnpc-go generates enum values as constants. For example in the capnp file:
enum ElementSize { empty @0; bit @1; byte @2; twoBytes @3; fourBytes @4; eightBytes @5; pointer @6; inlineComposite @7; }
In the generated capnp.go file:
type ElementSize uint16 const ( ElementSize_empty ElementSize = 0 ElementSize_bit ElementSize = 1 ElementSize_byte ElementSize = 2 ElementSize_twoBytes ElementSize = 3 ElementSize_fourBytes ElementSize = 4 ElementSize_eightBytes ElementSize = 5 ElementSize_pointer ElementSize = 6 ElementSize_inlineComposite ElementSize = 7 )
In addition an enum.String() function is generated that will convert the constants to a string for debugging or logging purposes. By default, the enum name is used as the tag value, but the tags can be customized with a $Go.tag or $Go.notag annotation.
For example:
enum ElementSize { empty @0 $Go.tag("void"); bit @1 $Go.tag("1 bit"); byte @2 $Go.tag("8 bits"); inlineComposite @7 $Go.notag; }
In the generated go file:
func (c ElementSize) String() string { switch c { case ElementSize_empty: return "void" case ElementSize_bit: return "1 bit" case ElementSize_byte: return "8 bits" default: return "" } }
Interfaces ¶
capnpc-go generates type-safe Client wrappers for interfaces. For parameter lists and result lists, structs are generated as described above with the names Interface_method_Params and Interface_method_Results, unless a single struct type is used. For example, for this interface:
interface Calculator { evaluate @0 (expression :Expression) -> (value :Value); }
capnpc-go generates the following Go code (along with the structs Calculator_evaluate_Params and Calculator_evaluate_Results):
// Calculator is a client to a Calculator interface. type Calculator struct{ Client capnp.Client } // Evaluate calls `evaluate` on the client. params is called on a newly // allocated Calculator_evaluate_Params struct to fill in the parameters. func (c Calculator) Evaluate( ctx context.Context, params func(Calculator_evaluate_Params) error, opts ...capnp.CallOption) *Calculator_evaluate_Results_Promise
capnpc-go also generates code to implement the interface:
// A Calculator_Server implements the Calculator interface. type Calculator_Server interface { Evaluate(Calculator_evaluate_Call) error } // Calculator_evaluate_Call holds the arguments for a Calculator.evaluate server call. type Calculator_evaluate_Call struct { Ctx context.Context Options capnp.CallOptions Params Calculator_evaluate_Params Results Calculator_evaluate_Results } // Calculator_ServerToClient is equivalent to calling: // NewCalculator(capnp.NewServer(Calculator_Methods(nil, s), s)) // If s does not implement the Close method, then nil is used. func Calculator_ServerToClient(s Calculator_Server) Calculator // Calculator_Methods appends methods from Calculator that call to server and // returns the methods. If methods is nil or the capacity of the underlying // slice is too small, a new slice is returned. func Calculator_Methods(methods []server.Method, s Calculator_Server) []server.Method
Since a single capability may want to implement many interfaces, you can use multiple *_Methods functions to build a single slice to send to NewServer.
An example of combining the client/server code to communicate with a locally implemented Calculator:
var srv Calculator_Server calc := Calculator_ServerToClient(srv) result := calc.Evaluate(ctx, func(params Calculator_evaluate_Params) { params.SetExpression(expr) }) val := result.Value().Get()
A note about message ordering: when implementing a server method, you are responsible for acknowledging delivery of a method call. Failure to do so can cause deadlocks. See the server.Ack function for more details.
Example ¶
// Make a brand new empty message. msg, seg, err := capnp.NewMessage(capnp.SingleSegment(nil)) // If you want runtime-type identification, this is easily obtained. Just // wrap everything in a struct that contains a single anoymous union (e.g. struct Z). // Then always set a Z as the root object in you message/first segment. // The cost of the extra word of storage is usually worth it, as // then human readable output is easily obtained via a shell command such as // // $ cat binary.cpz | capnp decode aircraft.capnp Z // // If you need to conserve space, and know your content in advance, it // isn't necessary to use an anonymous union. Just supply the type name // in place of 'Z' in the decode command above. // There can only be one root. Subsequent NewRoot* calls will set the root // pointer and orphan the previous root. z, err := air.NewRootZ(seg) if err != nil { panic(err) } // then non-root objects: aircraft, err := z.NewAircraft() if err != nil { panic(err) } b737, err := aircraft.NewB737() if err != nil { panic(err) } planebase, err := b737.NewBase() if err != nil { panic(err) } // Set primitive fields planebase.SetCanFly(true) planebase.SetName("Henrietta") planebase.SetRating(100) planebase.SetMaxSpeed(876) // km/hr // if we don't set capacity, it will get the default value, in this case 0. //planebase.SetCapacity(26020) // Liters fuel // Creating a list homes, err := planebase.NewHomes(2) if err != nil { panic(err) } homes.Set(0, air.Airport_jfk) homes.Set(1, air.Airport_lax) // Ready to write! // You can write to memory... buf, err := msg.Marshal() if err != nil { panic(err) } _ = buf // ... or write to an io.Writer. file, err := ioutil.TempFile("", "go-capnproto") if err != nil { panic(err) } defer file.Close() defer os.Remove(file.Name()) err = capnp.NewEncoder(file).Encode(msg) if err != nil { panic(err) }

An Answer is the deferred result of a client call, which is usually wrapped by a Pipeline.
func ErrorAnswer ¶
ErrorAnswer returns a Answer that always returns error e.
func ImmediateAnswer ¶
ImmediateAnswer returns an Answer that accesses s.
type Arena ¶
type Arena interface { // NumSegments returns the number of segments in the arena. // This must not be larger than 1<<32. NumSegments() int64 // Data loads the data for the segment with the given ID. Data(id SegmentID) ([]byte, error) // Allocate allocates a byte slice such that cap(data) - len(data) >= minsz. // segs is a map of already loaded segments keyed by ID. The arena may // return an existing segment's ID, in which case the arena is responsible // for copying the existing data to the returned byte slice. Allocate must // not modify the segments passed into it. Allocate(minsz Size, segs map[SegmentID]*Segment) (SegmentID, []byte, error) }
An Arena loads and allocates segments for a Message. Segment IDs must be tightly packed in the range [0, NumSegments()).
func MultiSegment ¶
MultiSegment returns a new arena that allocates new segments when they are full. b can be used to populate the buffer for reading or to reserve memory of a specific size.
func SingleSegment ¶
SingleSegment returns a new arena with an expanding single-segment buffer. b can be used to populate the segment for reading or to reserve memory of a specific size. A SingleSegment arena does not return errors unless you attempt to access another segment.
type BitList ¶
type BitList struct{ List }
A BitList is a reference to a list of booleans.
func NewBitList ¶
NewBitList creates a new bit list, preferring placement in s.
type BitOffset ¶
type BitOffset uint32
BitOffset is an offset in bits from the beginning of a struct's data section.
type Call ¶
type Call struct { // Ctx is the context of the call. Ctx context.Context // Method is the interface ID and method ID, along with the optional name, // of the method to call. Method Method // Params is a struct containing parameters for the call. // This should be set when the RPC system receives a call for an // exported interface. It is mutually exclusive with ParamsFunc // and ParamsSize. Params Struct // ParamsFunc is a function that populates an allocated struct with // the parameters for the call. ParamsSize determines the size of the // struct to allocate. This is used when application code is using a // client. These settings should be set together; they are mutually // exclusive with Params. ParamsFunc func(Struct) error ParamsSize ObjectSize // Options passes RPC-specific options for the call. Options CallOptions }
The Call type holds the record for an outgoing interface call.
type CallOption ¶
type CallOption struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A CallOption is a function that modifies options on an interface call.
func SetOptionValue ¶
func SetOptionValue(key, value interface{}) CallOption
SetOptionValue returns a call option that associates a value to an option key. This can be retrieved later with CallOptions.Value.
type CallOptions ¶
type CallOptions struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
CallOptions holds RPC-specific options for an interface call. Its usage is similar to the values in context.Context, but is only used for a single call: its values are not intended to propagate to other callees. An example of an option would be the Call.sendResultsTo field in rpc.capnp.
func NewCallOptions ¶
func NewCallOptions(opts []CallOption) CallOptions
NewCallOptions builds a CallOptions value from a list of individual options.
func (CallOptions) Value ¶
func (co CallOptions) Value(key interface{}) interface{}
Value retrieves the value associated with the options for this key, or nil if no value is associated with this key.
func (CallOptions) With ¶
func (co CallOptions) With(opts []CallOption) CallOptions
With creates a copy of the CallOptions value with other options applied.
type CapabilityID ¶
type CapabilityID uint32
A CapabilityID is an index into a message's capability table.
func (CapabilityID) GoString ¶
func (id CapabilityID) GoString() string
GoString returns the ID as a Go expression.
func (CapabilityID) String ¶
func (id CapabilityID) String() string
String returns the ID in the format "capability X".
type Client ¶
type Client interface { // Call starts executing a method and returns an answer that will hold // the resulting struct. The call's parameters must be placed before // Call() returns. // // Calls are delivered to the capability in the order they are made. // This guarantee is based on the concept of a capability // acknowledging delivery of a call: this is specific to an // implementation of Client. A type that implements Client must // guarantee that if foo() then bar() is called on a client, that // acknowledging foo() happens before acknowledging bar(). Call(call *Call) Answer // Close releases any resources associated with this client. // No further calls to the client should be made after calling Close. Close() error }
A Client represents an Cap'n Proto interface type. It is safe to use from multiple goroutines.
Generally, only RPC protocol implementers should provide types that implement Client: call ordering guarantees, promises, and synchronization are tricky to get right. Prefer creating a server that wraps another interface than trying to implement Client.
func ErrorClient ¶
ErrorClient returns a Client that always returns error e.
type DataList ¶

// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
An Interface is a reference to a client in a message's capability table.
func NewInterface ¶
func NewInterface(s *Segment, cap CapabilityID) Interface
NewInterface creates a new interface pointer. No allocation is performed; s is only used for Segment()'s return value.

type Message ¶
type Message struct { Arena Arena // CapTable is the indexed list of the clients referenced in the // message. Capability pointers inside the message will use this table // to map pointers to Clients. The table is usually populated by the // RPC system. // // See https://capnproto.org/encoding.html#capabilities-interfaces for // more details on the capability table. CapTable []Client // TraverseLimit limits how many total bytes of data are allowed to be // traversed while reading. Traversal is counted when a Struct or // List is obtained. This means that calling a getter for the same // sub-struct multiple times will cause it to be double-counted. Once // the traversal limit is reached, pointer accessors will report // errors. See https://capnproto.org/encoding.html#amplification-attack // for more details on this security measure. // // If not set, this defaults to 64 MiB. TraverseLimit uint64 // DepthLimit limits how deeply-nested a message structure can be. // If not set, this defaults to 64. DepthLimit uint // contains filtered or unexported fields }
A Message is a tree of Cap'n Proto objects, split into one or more segments of contiguous memory. The only required field is Arena. A Message is safe to read from multiple goroutines.
func Unmarshal ¶
Unmarshal reads an unpacked serialized stream into a message. No copying is performed, so the objects in the returned message read directly from data.
Example ¶
msg, s, err := capnp.NewMessage(capnp.SingleSegment(nil)) if err != nil { fmt.Printf("allocation error %v\n", err) return } d, err := air.NewRootZdate(s) if err != nil { fmt.Printf("root error %v\n", err) return } d.SetYear(2004) d.SetMonth(12) d.SetDay(7) data, err := msg.Marshal() if err != nil { fmt.Printf("marshal error %v\n", err) return } // Read msg, err = capnp.Unmarshal(data) if err != nil { fmt.Printf("unmarshal error %v\n", err) return } d, err = air.ReadRootZdate(msg) if err != nil { fmt.Printf("read root error %v\n", err) return } fmt.Printf("year %d, month %d, day %d\n", d.Year(), d.Month(), d.Day())
Output: year 2004, month 12, day 7
