Línea de trabajo

Start in NativeScript/runtime/Interop.mm, in the block branch and the function-pointer branch of Interop::SetFFIParams, and in FunctionReference.cpp, where the constructor stores a FunctionReferenceWrapper on the function. Reproduce with the block-then-pointer order and confirm the tns::Assert(false) fires. Done means both wrappers can coexist on one function, or the pointer path throws a JS error instead of asserting, with the worker test from #500 still passing.

Descripción

Summary

A function wrapped with interop.FunctionReference and then passed to a native API as a block loses its FunctionReference identity. A later attempt to pass it as a function pointer then hits tns::Assert(false) in Interop::SetFFIParams, which crashes the app.

Repro

const fn = function () {};
const ref = new interop.FunctionReference(fn); // returns fn itself

// Any API taking a block, e.g.:
NSOperationQueue.mainQueue.addOperationWithBlock(ref);

// Any API taking a C function pointer, e.g. a struct field or a C function parameter
// typed as a function pointer:
someFunctionTakingAFunctionPointer(ref); // -> tns::Assert(false)

Cause

Both wrapper kinds live in the same per-object slot (tns::SetValue / tns::GetValue):

  • FunctionReference's constructor stores a FunctionReferenceWrapper on fn and registers fn with ObjectManager (FunctionReference.cpp).
  • The block branch of Interop::SetFFIParams doesn't recognise a FunctionReferenceWrapper as a cached block. It builds a JSBlock and overwrites the slot with its BlockWrapper. tns::SetValue doesn't free the previous wrapper, so the FunctionReferenceWrapper leaks, along with the trampoline it may have cached.
  • The function-pointer branch accepts only Pointer, AnonymousFunction and FunctionReference wrappers. With a BlockWrapper in the slot it falls through to tns::Assert(false, isolate) (NativeScript/runtime/Interop.mm, function-pointer branch of SetFFIParams).

In the opposite order (block first, then new interop.FunctionReference(fn)), the constructor overwrites the block's wrapper. Every later block marshal of fn then builds a new block instead of reusing the cached one, and the next one overwrites the FunctionReferenceWrapper again.

Expected

One function can be used both as a block and as a function pointer. Possible directions:

  • keep the block cache and the FunctionReference state in separate slots;
  • let the block path recognise a FunctionReferenceWrapper and keep the block alongside it.

Either way, neither marshal should evict the other's wrapper, and the function-pointer path should never assert on a wrapper type it can explain to the user. At minimum it should throw a JS error instead.

Context

Found while reviewing #500, which makes JS block wrappers owned by their JSBlock. The worker test added there (blockFunctionReferenceWorker.js) relies on the current overwrite behaviour to reach the teardown path.
