RGFW Under the Hood: Cocoa in Pure C

Introduction

To use Apple's Cocoa API, you must use Objective-C function calls. However, you do not have to write Objective-C code because Objective-C can be accessed via C functions such as objc_msgSend.

The main reason to use Pure-C over Objective-C is to be able to compile your project in C. This is helpful if you want to create a single-header file that does not require the user to compile using Objective-C.

Two examples of this are:

Silicon.h, a C-Wrapper for the Cocoa API that wraps around the Objective-C function calls so you can use the Cocoa API in normal-looking C code, and RGFW, a lightweight single-header windowing library.

Both projects can be used as a reference for using Cocoa in C.

Overview

A quick overview of the topics the article will cover

1) The Basics of Using Objective-C in Pure C
2) Defining Cocoa Types
3) Creating a Basic Cocoa Window

1. The Basics of using Objective-C in Pure C

Objective-C functions can be called using objc_msgsend.

Due to ABI differences, ARM uses objc_msgsend for all cases. However x86_64 CPUs require the use of specific functions for floating point and structure returns.
objc_msgsend_fpret for functions with floating point returns and
objc_msgsend_fstret for functions that return a structure.

RGFW handles this like this:

#include <objc/runtime.h>
#include <objc/message.h> 

#ifdef __arm64__
/* ARM just uses objc_msgSend */
#define abi_objc_msgSend_stret objc_msgSend
#define abi_objc_msgSend_fpret objc_msgSend
#else /* __i386__ */
/* x86 just uses abi_objc_msgSend_fpret and (NSColor *)objc_msgSend_id respectively */
#define abi_objc_msgSend_stret objc_msgSend_stret
#define abi_objc_msgSend_fpret objc_msgSend_fpret
#endif
Copy after login

objc_msgSend is a generic function, so its type must be cast based on the return and argument types you want.

For example: ((int (*)(id, SEL, int))objc_msgSend) for a function that takes an int argument and returns an int.

To avoid repeating commonly used type-casting, RGFW defines macros to handle common cases.

#define objc_msgSend_id             ((id (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_id_id          ((id (*)(id, SEL, id))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_id_rect        ((id (*)(id, SEL, NSRect))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_uint           ((NSUInteger (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_int            ((NSInteger (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_SEL            ((SEL (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_float          ((CGFloat (*)(id, SEL))abi_objc_msgSend_fpret)
#define objc_msgSend_bool           ((BOOL (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_void           ((void (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_double         ((double (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_void_id        ((void (*)(id, SEL, id))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_void_uint      ((void (*)(id, SEL, NSUInteger))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_void_int       ((void (*)(id, SEL, NSInteger))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_void_bool      ((void (*)(id, SEL, BOOL))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_void_float     ((void (*)(id, SEL, CGFloat))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_void_double    ((void (*)(id, SEL, double))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_void_SEL       ((void (*)(id, SEL, SEL))objc_msgSend)
#define objc_msgSend_id_char_const  ((id (*)(id, SEL, char const *))objc_msgSend)

You might notice two common arguments in these functions, id and SEL

The id argument refers to an ID of an Objective-C object or class.

SEL refers to the function's selector.

For example MyObject *bar = [MyObject objectWithString:@"RGFW"]; can be translated to id* bar = [id SEL:@"RGFW"];

To get the ID to an Objective-C class you must run objc_getClass

For example: objc_getClass("NSWindow");

To get the selector for an Objective-C function you must use sel_registerName

The syntax of Objective-C functions is like this , then : is used as a placeholder for an argument.

A function with one argument would look like this:

sel_registerName("makeKeyAndOrderFront:");

However, a function with no arguments would look like this.

sel_registerName("isKeyWindow");

If the function has multiple arguments you will have to also add the argument names (not including the first argument)

sel_registerName("initWithContentRect:styleMask:backing:defer:");

To define a class method (eg. a callback function for the object) you must use class_addMethod this function takes the delegate class (class of the object that is calling's delegate
), selector of the function being called, the function you want to be called, and the arguments expected in string format.

But first, you must allocate the delegate class to access it.
You can do this using objc_allocateClassPair.

For example to allocate the delegate class for an NSWindow:

Class delegateClass = objc_allocateClassPair(objc_getClass("NSObject"), "WindowDelegate", 0);
Copy after login

To create a call back you have to use class_addMethod to set it as the callback for the class.

Creating a call back for NSWindow's windowWillResize would look like this:

class_addMethod(delegateClass, sel_registerName("windowWillResize:toSize:"), (IMP) windowResize, "{NSSize=ff}@:{NSSize=ff}");
Copy after login

You can also add custom user variables to the class, these can be used to attach user data to the class.

For example, RGFW attaches an RGFW_window to the NSWindow class to modify the RGFW_window* data. This can be done using class_addIvar

class_addIvar(
    delegateClass, "RGFW_window",
    sizeof(RGFW_window*), rint(log2(sizeof(RGFW_window*))),
    "L" 
);
Copy after login

To set the variable to use for your NSWindow instance, use

object_setInstanceVariable

To set the RGFW_window object to be the variable instance for its NSWindow object:

object_setInstanceVariable(delegate, "NSWindow", window);

You can get the instance variable of an object via object_getInstanceVariable

RGFW_window* win = NULL;

//The object variable would be called "self" in a callback
object_getInstanceVariable(self, "RGFW_window", (void*)&win);
Copy after login

Defining Cocoa Types

The Cocoa header files are written in Objective-C. This means we'll have to define the types and enums ourselves.

The shape types can be defined as the CG Shapes like this:

typedef CGRect NSRect;
typedef CGPoint NSPoint;
typedef CGSize NSSize;
Copy after login

Cocoa also uses custom integer-type names,
these can be defined to be their matching c datatype.

typedef unsigned long NSUInteger;
typedef long NSInteger;
Copy after login

You can also define Cocoa objects. I define them as void so I can use them as pointers.

// Note: void is being used here 
// type* can be used ( type* == void* == id ) 
typedef void NSEvent;
typedef void NSString;
typedef void NSWindow;  
typedef void NSApplication;
Copy after login

As for the enums, here are some of the enums I will be using in this tutorial.

Many of the other enums can be found in Cocoa's headers, documentation, RGFW.h, or Silicon. h.

/* this macro is used to give an enum a type */

RGFW also defines NSAlloc and NSRelease because they're basic functions that are used a lot.

#define NSAlloc(nsclass) objc_msgSend_id((id)nsclass, sel_registerName("alloc"))
#define NSRelease(nsclass) objc_msgSend_id((id)nsclass, sel_registerName("release"))

3. Creating a Basic Cocoa Window

Now that you understand the basics of calling Objective-C functions from C, and the setup required to use Cocoa, it's time to apply that for creating a basic window using Cocoa.

First, some library headers are required.

#include <CoreVideo/CVDisplayLink.h> // !
#include <ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h>

#include <string.h>
Copy after login

These functions will be used for printing information about the current event.

const char* NSEventTypeToChar(NSEventType eventType);
const char* NSEventModifierFlagsToChar(NSEventModifierFlags modifierFlags);

// These will be placed after the main function and will be defined like this:
const char* NSEventTypeToChar(NSEventType eventType) {
    switch (eventType) {
        case NSEventTypeLeftMouseDown: return "LeftMouseDown";
        case NSEventTypeLeftMouseUp: return "LeftMouseUp";
        case NSEventTypeRightMouseDown: return "RightMouseDown";
        case NSEventTypeRightMouseUp: return "RightMouseUp";
        case NSEventTypeMouseMoved: return "MouseMoved";
        case NSEventTypeLeftMouseDragged: return "LeftMouseDragged";
        case NSEventTypeRightMouseDragged: return "RightMouseDragged";
        case NSEventTypeMouseEntered: return "MouseEntered";
        case NSEventTypeMouseExited: return "MouseExited";
        case NSEventTypeKeyDown: return "KeyDown";
        case NSEventTypeKeyUp: return "KeyUp";
        case NSEventTypeFlagsChanged: return "FlagsChanged";
        case NSEventTypeAppKitDefined: return "AppKitDefined";
        case NSEventTypeSystemDefined: return "SystemDefined";
        case NSEventTypeApplicationDefined: return "ApplicationDefined";
        case NSEventTypePeriodic: return "Periodic";
        case NSEventTypeCursorUpdate: return "CursorUpdate";
        case NSEventTypeScrollWheel: return "ScrollWheel";
        case NSEventTypeTabletPoint: return "TabletPoint";
        case NSEventTypeTabletProximity: return "TabletProximity";
        case NSEventTypeOtherMouseDown: return "OtherMouseDown";
        case NSEventTypeOtherMouseUp: return "OtherMouseUp";
        case NSEventTypeOtherMouseDragged: return "OtherMouseDragged";
        default: return "N/A";
    }
}

char* ns_strcat(register char *s, register const char *append) {
    char *save = s;

    for (; *s; ++s);
    while ((*s++ = *append++));
    return save;
}

const char* NSEventModifierFlagsToChar(NSEventModifierFlags modifierFlags) {
    static char result[100];
    result[0] = '\0';

    if ((modifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlagCapsLock) == NSEventModifierFlagCapsLock) ns_strcat(result, "CapsLock, ");
    if ((modifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlagShift) == NSEventModifierFlagShift) ns_strcat(result, "NShift, ");
    if ((modifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlagControl) == NSEventModifierFlagControl) ns_strcat(result, "Control, ");
    if ((modifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlagOption) == NSEventModifierFlagOption) ns_strcat(result, "Option, ");
    if ((modifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlagCommand) == NSEventModifierFlagCommand) ns_strcat(result, "Command, ");
    if ((modifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlagNumericPad) == NSEventModifierFlagNumericPad) ns_strcat(result, "NumericPad, ");
    if ((modifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlagHelp) == NSEventModifierFlagHelp) ns_strcat(result, "Help, ");
    if ((modifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlagFunction) == NSEventModifierFlagFunction) ns_strcat(result, "Function, ");

    return result;

Cocoa does not handle certain events using the event loop.
Instead, they're fed to the NSWindow via callbacks.

Here's how these functions will be defined for this example:

bool running = true;

unsigned int onClose(void* self) {
    NSWindow* win = NULL;
    object_getInstanceVariable(self, "NSWindow", (void*)&win);
    if (win == NULL)
        return true;

    running = false;

    return true;
}

NSSize windowResize(void* self, SEL sel, NSSize frameSize) {
    NSWindow* win = NULL;
    object_getInstanceVariable(self, "NSWindow", (void*)&win);
    if (win == NULL)
        return frameSize;

    printf("window resized to %f %f\n", frameSize.width, frameSize.height);
    return frameSize;
}
Copy after login

The first thing that I will do in the main function is define the windowShouldClose callback.

This is so that way the program doesn't keep running after the window is closed.

class_addMethod(objc_getClass("NSObject"), sel_registerName("windowShouldClose:"), (IMP) onClose, 0);
Copy after login

Next, the NSApplication is set up.

This requires the use of sharedApplication and setActivationPolicy

NSApplication* NSApp = objc_msgSend_id((id)objc_getClass("NSApplication"), sel_registerName("sharedApplication"));
objc_msgSend_void_id(NSApp, sel_registerName("setActivationPolicy:"), NSApplicationActivationPolicyRegular);
Copy after login

Now you can create a NSWindow can be created, I broke the window creation process into three steps so it's more readable.

The window is created using initWithContentRect

NSBackingStoreType macArgs = NSWindowStyleMaskClosable | NSWindowStyleMaskMiniaturizable | NSBackingStoreBuffered | NSWindowStyleMaskTitled | NSWindowStyleMaskResizable;

SEL func = sel_registerName("initWithContentRect:styleMask:backing:defer:");

NSWindow* window = ((id (*)(id, SEL, NSRect, NSWindowStyleMask, NSBackingStoreType, bool))objc_msgSend)
            (NSAlloc(objc_getClass("NSWindow")), func, 
                        (NSRect){{200, 200}, {200, 200}}, 
                        macArgs, macArgs, false);
Copy after login

You can then set up the delegate class and window resize callback.

Class delegateClass = objc_allocateClassPair(objc_getClass("NSObject"), "WindowDelegate", 0);

class_addIvar(
        delegateClass, "NSWindow",
        sizeof(NSWindow*), rint(log2(sizeof(NSWindow*))),
        "L"
);

class_addMethod(delegateClass, sel_registerName("windowWillResize:toSize:"), (IMP) windowResize, "{NSSize=ff}@:{NSSize=ff}");
Copy after login

After that, the delegate must be initialized using init

Then I will set the delegate's variable data as our NSWindow and set the NSWindow's delegate to be the delegate we initialized using setDelegate

id delegate = objc_msgSend_id(NSAlloc(delegateClass), sel_registerName("init"));

object_setInstanceVariable(delegate, "NSWindow", window);

objc_msgSend_void_id(window, sel_registerName("setDelegate:"), delegate);
Copy after login

Then the window can be shown using setIsVisible and made key and front via makeKeyAndOrderFront, this puts it in focus.

activatIgnoredOtherApps is required to open the window

objc_msgSend_void_bool(NSApp, sel_registerName("activateIgnoringOtherApps:"), true);
((id(*)(id, SEL, SEL))objc_msgSend)(window, sel_registerName("makeKeyAndOrderFront:"), NULL);
objc_msgSend_void_bool(window, sel_registerName("setIsVisible:"), true);

objc_msgSend_void(NSApp, sel_registerName("finishLaunching"));
Copy after login

Now, in the draw loop, I'd start by creating a memory pool.

This is so that way all memory allocated by event checking can be freed at once, avoiding a memory leak.

This can be done using NSAutoreleasePool

id pool = objc_msgSend_id(NSAlloc(objc_getClass("NSAutoreleasePool")), sel_registerName("init"));
Copy after login

Now the current event can be checked using an NSEvent object and nextEventMatchingMask

The event type can be found using type
The event mouse point can be found using locationInWindow
The event modifier flags can be found using modifierFlags

NSEvent* e = (NSEvent*) ((id(*)(id, SEL, NSEventMask, void*, NSString*, bool))objc_msgSend) (NSApp, sel_registerName("nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:"), ULONG_MAX, NULL,                           ((id(*)(id, SEL, const char*))objc_msgSend) ((id)objc_getClass("NSString"), sel_registerName("stringWithUTF8String:"), "kCFRunLoopDefaultMode"), true);

unsigned int type = objc_msgSend_uint(e, sel_registerName("type"));  

NSPoint p = ((NSPoint(*)(id, SEL)) objc_msgSend)(e, sel_registerName("locationInWindow"));
Copy after login

Before I check the event, I make sure there is an event.

if (type == 0)
    printf("Event [type=%s location={%f, %f} modifierFlags={%s}]\n", 
                        NSEventTypeToChar(type), 
                        p.x, p.y, 
                        NSEventModifierFlagsToChar(objc_msgSend_uint(e, sel_registerName("modifierFlags"))));

Copy after login

The event can be pushed out using sendEvent and the window can be updated using updateWindows

objc_msgSend_void_id(NSApp, sel_registerName("sendEvent:"), e);
((void(*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)(NSApp, sel_registerName("updateWindows"));
Copy after login

At the end of the draw loop, the event pool should be freed.

NSRelease(pool);
