Replace per-module malloc calls in stk_pending_retry and stk_poll
with bulk allocations.
- stk_pending_retry: single realloc to module_count + stk_pending_count
before the retry loop instead of realloc + 1 per module at attempt_load
- stk_poll unload loop: collect cascade deps into a batch array, call
stk_pending_add_batch once after instead of stk_pending_add per module
- stk_poll cascade loop: same pattern, batch collect and add once per
cascade iteration
- Add STK_MOD_DEP_LOG_BUFFER (2048) to stk.h for the dep failure message
buffer size.
- Add stk_log_dependency_failures(index, action) to module.c. Walks all
deps for the given module, skips satisfied ones, and builds a single
log line listing every unmet dep with its reason: "not found" or
"requires <constraint>, have <version>". The action parameter
("Deferring" / "Unloading") lets call sites produce contextually
appropriate messages:
- Deferring 'test_mod_dep': unmet deps: test_mod (not found)
- Unloading 'test_mod_dep': unmet deps: test_mod (not found), renderer (requires ^2.0.0, have 1.3.0)
- Replace the silent defer at init and the vague "unmet dependencies"
cascade log in stk_poll() with calls to stk_log_dependency_failures().
- Refactor the Kahn topological sort into a generic stk_kahn_sort() that
accepts a has_dep callback and an on_cycle callback, eliminating direct
coupling to stk_modules. stk_topo_sort() becomes a thin wrapper using
stk_loaded_has_dep() and stk_log_cycle(). stk_sort_load_order() uses the
same core via stk_batch_has_dep(), which opens tmp files to inspect deps
so simultaneous load events are processed dependency-first without needing
a retry cycle.
- Split stk_module_load() into stk_module_preload(), stk_module_activate(),
stk_module_discard(), and stk_validate_dependencies_single(). preload
handles library loading and metadata only; activate calls init; discard
cleans up without calling shutdown; validate_dependencies_single checks a
single module's deps. stk_module_load() composes these in order and does
not call init if deps are unmet.
- On UNLOAD events in stk_poll(), expand the unload set to include all
transitively dependent loaded modules via stk_collect_dependents(), sort
dependents-first via stk_sort_unload_order(), and unload in that order.
Modules unloaded due to expansion are queued to pending so they reload
automatically when their dependency returns. Remove trim_arrays, now
handled by the compact pass after the unload block.
- On LOAD events with unmet dependencies, add the tmp path to the pending
queue instead of dropping the module. stk_pending_retry() skips already
loaded entries and prunes entries whose file no longer exists. Move the
free_poll label above stk_pending_retry() so retry always runs regardless
of which path exits the event processing block.
- Move stk_dep_t to public header
- Rename stk_set_module_dependencies_fn to stk_set_module_deps_sym
- Change default deps symbol name from stk_mod_dependencies to stk_mod_deps
- Read deps as direct exported stk_dep_t array instead of function call
- Update sentinel check to .id[0] != '\0'
- Default module version to 0.0.0 if not provided or invalid
- Remove deps_func from union in stk_module_load
- Make stk_validate_dependencies and stk_topo_sort non static
- Add extern declarations in stk.c
- Run stk_validate_dependencies after module loads in stk_init
- Validation failure is fatal; unload all modules and return error code
- Run stk_topo_sort after validation, sort failure is logged but not fatal
- Add validate_deps label in stk_poll so all load/unload paths run validation
- Add dep error codes to stk_error_string
- Consolidate handles, function pointers, metadata, and deps into single stk_mod_t
- Remove all separate metadata arrays and index mappings
- Simplify init, free, realloc, load, and unload significantly
- stk.c externs reduced to stk_modules and module_count
- Add tight-packed arrays with index mappings for name, version, and description
- Resolve optional metadata symbols at load time via platform_get_symbol
- Add setter functions for metadata symbol name overrides
- platform_mkdir now checks if directory exists before creating
- Add FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN for dot-prefixed directories on Windows
- Create parent mods directory before temp directory
- Move module unload before copy in reload sequence to fix issue on Windows
- Force CMD shell in test makefile on Windows
Test makefile now uses cmd.exe instead of bash on Windows, fixing
syntax errors when running via build.bat.
Reverse enum so lower values = less severe, higher = more severe.
This makes the filter check (level < min_log_level) work correctly.
- DEBUG (0) - least severe, filtered by default
- INFO (1) - default minimum level
- WARN (2) - warnings and above
- ERROR (3) - most severe, always shown
Fixes incorrect filtering where ERROR/WARN were being blocked.
- Update stk_version.h: 0.0.4 → 0.1.0
- Add CHANGELOG entry for 0.1.0 release
- C89 compliance fixes
- Flags bitfield system
- Enhanced logging system
- Update README project status and API reference
- Document new logging functions and configuration
- Replace stk_initialized with stk_flags bitfield
- Add STK_FLAG_INITIALIZED (0x01) and STK_FLAG_LOGGING_ENABLED (0x02)
- Add stk_set_logging_enabled() and stk_is_logging_enabled() API
- Single byte for all boolean state and settings
Logging enabled by default, packs all flags into one byte for efficiency.
BREAKING CHANGE: Public API now uses unsigned char instead of uint8_t
- Remove stdint.h dependency (C99 feature, not C89, I am a fucking idiot)
- Replace uint8_t with unsigned char throughout codebase
- Affects stk_init() return type and internal functions
- Corrects unintended C99 dependency, restoring intended C89 compliance
When spamming file changes rapidly, inotify can report stale UNLOAD/RELOAD
events for modules that were already unloaded by previous events in the same
poll cycle. This caused is_mod_loaded() to return -1, which was then cast to
size_t (18446744073709551615) and used as an array index, causing segfaults.
Additionally, event counts were calculated before validation, causing loops to
run more iterations than valid indices were populated, reading garbage values.
Changes:
- stk.c: Check if is_mod_loaded() returns valid index (>= 0) before adding
to unload/reload lists
- stk.c: Reset and recalculate counts after populating arrays with only valid
indices to prevent loop overrun
- Skip processing events for modules that are no longer loaded
This completes the Linux stability fixes started in v0.0.2.
Fixes multiple issues causing segfaults when hot-reloading modules
on Linux, particularly when file changes are detected rapidly:
- Enable is_file_ready() check on Linux to prevent loading partially-written
shared libraries (previously only used on Windows/BSD)
- Fix event deduplication on Linux to actually remove duplicate inotify events
instead of just marking them, preventing double-free on same module
- Reorder reload operations to unload old module only after successfully
copying new version, avoiding invalid state when copy fails
Changes:
- platform.c: Remove __linux__ guards around is_file_ready() function
- platform.c: Add compaction step after deduplication to remove -1 entries
- stk.c: Move module unload to after platform_copy_file() in reload loop
These changes make Linux hot-reload as robust as Windows/BSD implementations.
- Install headers to /include/stk/ instead of /include/
- Update README examples to use #include <stk/stk.h>
- Update Windows install instructions to reflect stk/ directory structure
- Add MPL-2.0 license badge to README
- Clarify DLL can be placed in binary or lib directory on Windows
This prevents header name collisions with other libraries and follows
standard library distribution conventions (similar to SDL).
Users now include stk headers as <stk/stk.h> rather than <stk.h>.
- Add PREFIX, LIBDIR, and INCDIR variables (default: /usr/local)
- Implement install target that builds release and installs to system paths
- Implement uninstall target to cleanly remove installed files
- Support custom install locations via PREFIX variable
- Add helpful message on Windows directing users to manual installation
Both gmake.mk and bmake.mk now support standard installation workflow
on Unix-like systems (Linux, BSD, macOS). Windows users are instructed
to copy files manually as per platform conventions.
Usage:
make install # Install to /usr/local (requires root)
make PREFIX=$HOME install # Install to custom location
make uninstall # Remove installed files
- Replace undefined 'len' variable references with 'name_len'
- Add explicit null terminators after memcpy operations
- Move name_len declaration to Windows-specific scope to eliminate unused variable warning on BSD
- Standardize string copy pattern across all platforms: strlen -> clamp -> memcpy -> null terminate
- Fix increment operator placement for clarity (i++ moved outside array indexing)
- Remove duplicate name_len declaration in platform_directory_watch_check
This ensures proper bounds checking and null termination for filenames
on both Windows and BSD systems, preventing potential buffer overflows
when handling long filenames (approaching STK_PATH_MAX).
- Add OS detection for Windows vs Unix platforms
- Handle .exe extension on Windows for test program
- Fix directory creation with Windows-native commands (mkdir/copy vs mkdir -p/cp)
- Update clean target to use appropriate commands per platform
- Set PATH environment for DLL loading on Windows
- Remove broken uname detection that fails on Windows
Prevent potential format string mismatches on platforms where
size_t and unsigned long may have different sizes by explicitly
casting size_t variables to unsigned long when using %lu format
specifier in printf calls.
