Unfortunately this isn't going to work. :( a TryCatch has to be allocated on the stack. There are a couple ways to do this, both of which are pretty annoying:
- Use a cross-language callback pattern, where you pass the Rust closure as a
void*to C along with a Rust glue function that takes the Rust closure as an argument and calls in. Then in C you stack-allocate theTryCatchand invoke the Rust glue function. - Allocate a
TryCatchon the Rust stack by creating a parallel Rust struct type that's big enough to contain the sizeof the C++TryCatch. For this you have to have some way at build time to determine the sizeof aTryCatchand use a macro or a const declaration to declare the Rust type. And then the constructor and destructor for that Rust type can call intoneon_runtimewith a pointer toselffor the C++ code to explicitly call the C++ constructor and destructor on it. This is howHandleScopeworks, which also has to be stack allocated.

I believe that the reason they should be stack allocated is for nesting to work properly they need to be deallocated in the same order they were created.
RII also enforces this. I think deleting with Drop would also accomplish this.
With that said, I think your suggestion of passing the Rust closure to be invoked by C is best.

Hmmm, panicking across FFI is undefined.

I don't quite understand the use case for this. If I wrap something in a try_catch it's to prevent it from throwing. If I want to do something like map on a result that might have thrown, I already have a Result that I can do map() on and it'll throw.
Is this for cases where you want to map and do something back in the JS VM? Like:
cx.try_catch(do_something)
.and_then(|v| {
... cx ... // do stuff in the JS VM
})
.or_throw(cx)2 participants
