fix(libsds): adapt to nim-ffi 0.1.5 recycle API
nim-ffi 0.1.5 reworked the context pool to recycle contexts (reuse the
worker thread + its fds) instead of tearing them down per cycle, which is
what fixes the per-create/destroy fd leak. Two consumer-side changes are
required for libsds to work with it:

- SdsCreateRmReq: nim-ffi no longer points `myLib` at a thread-stack var;
  it owns it as a createShared'd object and frees it on recycle. So the
  handler must (re)allocate `ctx.myLib` before assigning, otherwise the
  first create dereferences a nil `myLib` and segfaults.

- SdsCleanupReliabilityManager: use `releaseFFIContext` (recycle) instead
  of `destroyFFIContext` (full teardown). Recycle keeps the worker and its
  fds alive for the next manager; destroy would reintroduce the leak. It is
  non-blocking and fires `callback` from the FFI thread once drained, so the
  synchronous RET_OK fire is dropped.

Lock nim-ffi to 0.1.5 (f6a3a33). Verified: libsds builds (--mm:refc) and the
status-go reliability suite (incl. the multi-manager fd test) is green.

nim-sds

Nim implementation of the e2e reliability protocol.

Prerequisites

  • Nix package manager

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/logos-messaging/nim-sds.git
cd nim-sds

# Build the shared library
nix build '.#libsds'

# Run tests
nix develop --command nimble test

Building

Desktop

nix build --print-out-paths '.#libsds'

Android

nix build --print-out-paths '.#libsds-android-arm64'
nix build --print-out-paths '.#libsds-android-amd64'
nix build --print-out-paths '.#libsds-android-x86'
nix build --print-out-paths '.#libsds-android-arm'

iOS

nix build --print-out-paths '.#libsds-ios'
Development shell

Enter the dev shell:

nix develop

Build using nimble tasks:

# Dynamic library (auto-detects OS)
nimble libsdsDynamicMac    # macOS
nimble libsdsDynamicLinux  # Linux
nimble libsdsDynamicWindows # Windows

# Static library
nimble libsdsStaticMac     # macOS
nimble libsdsStaticLinux   # Linux
nimble libsdsStaticWindows # Windows

Run tests:

nimble test

The built library is output to build/.

Android (without Nix)

Download the latest Android NDK:

cd ~
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r27c-linux.zip
unzip android-ndk-r27c-linux.zip

Add to ~/.bashrc:

export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=$HOME/android-ndk-r27c
export PATH=$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH

Then build:

ARCH=arm64 nimble libsdsAndroid
Architecture Command
arm64 ARCH=arm64 nimble libsdsAndroid
amd64 ARCH=amd64 nimble libsdsAndroid
x86 ARCH=x86 nimble libsdsAndroid

The library is output to build/libsds.so.

Dependency management

Dependencies are managed by Nimble and pinned via nimble.lock.

To set up dependencies locally:

nimble setup -l

To update dependencies:

nimble lock

After updating nimble.lock, the Nix outputHash in nix/deps.nix must be recalculated by running nix build and updating the hash from the error output.
