Today every call to e.g. `PropertySet::Insert()` does a +QI for `IMap`, a vtable call, and a Release. The new design uses ASM thunk stubs that +masquerade as COM objects and self-resolve on first vtable call, so the QI cost is paid +once per interface per object, with zero per-call overhead afterward. + +## Approach: Thunk-based dispatch via `require_one` conversion operators + +The runtimeclass **does not inherit from its default interface**. Instead it inherits from +`impl::thunked_runtimeclass`, which holds: + +- An `atomic default_cache` (the default interface pointer) +- Per-secondary-interface `CacheAndThunk` pairs (cache slot + `InterfaceThunk`) + +Each `InterfaceThunk` is 16 bytes with a vtable pointer into a shared table of 256 +architecture-specific ASM stubs. On first method call through any interface, the stub +calls `winrt_fast_resolve_thunk()` which QIs the default interface, atomically replaces +the cache slot with the real pointer, and tail-jumps to the real method. All subsequent +calls dispatch directly — the thunk is never touched again. + +The `require_one::operator I()` conversion operator is changed to return a +**reference to the cache slot** (reinterpreted as `I const&`) instead of doing a QI. +The cache slot holds either the thunk (self-resolving) or the already-resolved real +interface. This means `consume_general` sees `D != Base`, calls `operator I()`, gets +back an interface reference, and the existing `*(abi_t**)&result` aliasing works +correctly — the cache slot is `sizeof(void*)`. + +**Key:** `consume_general` does NOT need to change. The thunk is transparent to it. +The `require_one` conversion operator is the only hook point. + +--- + +## Hazard Audit + +### P0: `get_abi(IUnknown const&)` and friends — `*(void**)(&object)` + +**Location:** `strings/base_windows.h` lines 338–375 + +```cpp +inline void* get_abi(IUnknown const& object) noexcept { return *(void**)(&object); } +inline void** put_abi(IUnknown& object) noexcept { ... reinterpret_cast(&object); } +inline void* detach_abi(IUnknown& object) noexcept { ... *(void**)(&object); ... } +inline void attach_abi(IUnknown& object, void* value) noexcept { ... } +``` + +These take `IUnknown const&`/`IUnknown&`. Any runtimeclass (which derives from its default +interface, which derives from `IUnknown`) can bind to these references. They assume the +object's first `sizeof(void*)` bytes are the raw COM pointer — true today because +runtimeclasses inherit directly from their default interface, which IS `sizeof(void*)`. + +**In the thunk design the runtimeclass no longer inherits from IUnknown.** It inherits from +`impl::thunked_runtimeclass`, whose first data member is +`ThunkedRuntimeClassHeader` (containing `iid_table` then `default_cache`). So +`*(void**)(&object)` would read the `iid_table` pointer, not the COM interface pointer. + +**Mitigation:** Detect thunked types via a trait and delegate to a member accessor. +The base `get_abi`/`put_abi`/`detach_abi`/`attach_abi` overloads in `base_windows.h` are +replaced with trait-dispatching versions: + +```cpp +inline void* get_abi(IUnknown const& object) noexcept +{ + if constexpr (has_thunked_cache_v>) + return object.get_default_abi(); + else + return *(void**)(&object); +} +``` + +However, these are non-template functions taking `IUnknown const&` — `if constexpr` cannot +be used. Instead, add **new overloads** that win via ADL: + +```cpp +// In the generated namespace (same as the runtimeclass): +inline void* get_abi(PropertySet const& object) noexcept +{ + return object.get_default_abi(); +} +``` + +This is per-class but trivial (one-liner forwarding to the base class method). The code +generator already stamps out constructors per-class, so this is minimal additional output. + +Alternatively, use a single **constrained template** in `winrt::impl` that matches any +thunked type: + +```cpp +template + requires (has_thunked_cache_v) +void* get_abi(T const& object) noexcept +{ + return object.get_default_abi(); +} +``` + +This is a single definition covering all thunked types. It's more constrained than +`get_abi(IUnknown const&)` and wins overload resolution. Same pattern for `put_abi`, +`detach_abi`, `attach_abi`. **No per-class generation needed.** + +### P0: `write_abi_args` — `*(void**)(¶m)` for `object_type` IN params + +**Location:** `cppwinrt/code_writers.h` line 645 + +```cpp +case param_category::object_type: +case param_category::string_type: + w.write("*(void**)(&%)", param_name); + break; +``` + +`param_category::object_type` includes `class_type` (runtimeclasses), `interface_type`, +and `delegate_type`. WinRT metadata **can** have method parameters typed as runtimeclasses +(e.g. a method taking `PropertySet` not `IPropertySet`). + +**Recommendation:** Replace `*(void**)(¶m)` with `get_abi(param)` for `object_type`. +The constrained template overload for thunked types handles runtimeclasses; the existing +`IUnknown const&` overload handles interfaces and delegates. No SFINAE issues — `get_abi` +is a non-template overload for `IUnknown const&`, and the `requires` template is strictly +more constrained. + +### P0: `bind_out::operator void**()` — `(void**)(&object)` + +**Location:** `strings/base_string.h` lines 511–544 + +```cpp +operator void** () const noexcept +{ + object = nullptr; + return (void**)(&object); +} +``` + +Used for OUT params of `object_type`. The COM method writes a raw pointer into `*result`. +If `T` is a runtimeclass, `&object` points to the full runtimeclass, and writing a single +`void*` into it would only overwrite the first word. + +**Analysis:** OUT params in WinRT ABI are always interface-typed (the ABI signature uses +the interface, not the runtimeclass). The code generator resolves the OUT param type to +the interface before generating `bind_out`. So `T` in `bind_out` is always an interface +type for COM out-params. + +**However:** The `operator R*()` overload does `reinterpret_cast(&object)`. If `object` +is a runtimeclass and `R` is `abi_t`, this aliases incorrectly. + +**Recommendation:** Add a `static_assert` in `bind_out` that `sizeof(T) == sizeof(void*)` +to catch any future misuse. The current code is safe but fragile. + +### P1: Coroutine `when_any` — `*(unknown_abi**)&sender` + +**Location:** `strings/base_coroutine_foundation.h` lines 863–865 + +**Analysis:** `T` is constrained to async interface types (`IAsyncAction`, +`IAsyncOperation`, etc.) by `static_assert(has_category_v)`.

The slot either holds: +- The `InterfaceThunk*` (on first access) — looks like a COM object, self-resolves +- The real interface pointer (after first resolution) + +Either way, calling a method through the returned reference does a vtable dispatch. +On the thunk path, the ASM stub fires `resolve()` which does the QI once. + +### `consume_general` — NO changes needed + +With the thunk approach, `consume_general` is unchanged. Here's why: + +When `D != Base` (runtimeclass calling a non-default interface method): +1. `consume_general` calls `try_as_with_reason(d, code)` +2. This calls `d->try_as_with_reason(code)` — the member function +3. For a thunked type, this delegates to `ThunkedRuntimeClassBase::try_as_with_reason` + which returns a ref-counted com_ref from the default interface's QI + +But wait — this is the *old* path through `consume_general`. The *actual* hot path goes +through the consume methods which are CRTP mixins on `consume_t`: + +```cpp +// Generated consume method (typical): +template +auto consume_IMap::Insert(...) const +{ + consume_general, D>(static_cast(this), &abi_t::Insert, ...); +} +``` + +When `D == IMap` (calling directly on the interface), the `D == Base` branch fires. + +When `D == PropertySet` (calling through the runtimeclass), `D != Base`, so it goes to +the QI branch... but this IS what we want to intercept. + +**Actually:** The consume methods are mixed in via `require_one : consume_t`. +When a user calls `ps.Insert(...)`, C++ resolves `Insert` through the CRTP inheritance: +`PropertySet` → `require_one` → `consume_t` → `Insert`. +Inside `Insert`, `D = PropertySet`, `Base = IMap`. The `consume_general` call QIs. + +**The thunk intercept point is NOT in `consume_general`.** It's in `require_one::operator I()`. +When the user writes: + +```cpp +IMap map = ps; // conversion +``` + +...that goes through `require_one::operator I()` which returns the cached/thunked reference. +But `consume_general` doesn't use `operator I()` — it calls `try_as_with_reason` directly. + +**Therefore:** To avoid per-call QI in `consume_general`, we need either: +1. Change `consume_general`'s `D != Base` branch to check for thunked cache (3-way split) +2. Or generate forwarding methods that cast `*this` to the interface via `operator I const&()` + and call the method there, making `D == Base` in the consume method + +Option 2 (forwarding methods) is what the prototype does. Option 1 is a minimal change to +`consume_general`. Let's use **option 1** — a three-way branch in `consume_general`: + +```cpp +template +void consume_general(Derive const* d, MemberPointer mptr, Args&&... args) +{ + if constexpr (std::is_same_v) + { + // D is the interface itself — direct dispatch + auto const abi = *(abi_t**)d; + check_hresult((abi->*mptr)(std::forward(args)...)); + } + else if constexpr (has_thunked_interface_v) + { + // D is a thunked runtimeclass with a cache slot for Base. + // The cache slot holds either a self-resolving thunk or the real pointer. + // Either way, dereference gives a valid ABI vtable pointer. + auto const abi = *(abi_t**)(&d->template thunk_cache_slot()); + check_hresult((abi->*mptr)(std::forward(args)...)); + } + else + { + // D is a runtimeclass without a cache for Base — full QI. + hresult code; + auto const result = try_as_with_reason(d, code); + check_hresult(code); + auto const abi = *(abi_t**)&result; + check_hresult((abi->*mptr)(std::forward(args)...)); + } +} +``` + +The thunk branch reads the cache slot (an `atomic`) as an ABI pointer. If the slot +still holds the thunk, the vtable dispatch goes through the ASM stub which resolves it. +If already resolved, it's a direct vtable call. **No `if(null)` check at the call site.** +The thunk IS the null-state handler, encoded in the ASM. + +Same three-way split for `consume_noexcept` and `consume_noexcept_remove_overload`. + +### Trait: `has_thunked_interface_v` + +Uses `type_index` to check if `I` is in the secondary interface list at compile time: + +```cpp +template +inline constexpr bool has_thunked_interface_v = false; + +// Specialized by the thunked_runtimeclass template itself: +// No per-class generation needed — the base class template provides this. +``` + +Inside `thunked_runtimeclass`: + +```cpp +template +static constexpr bool has_interface = (std::is_same_v || ...); + +// thunk_cache_slot returns atomic& for the interface's cache slot +template +std::atomic const& thunk_cache_slot() const +{ + constexpr size_t idx = type_index::value; + return pairs[idx].cache; +} +``` + +The `has_thunked_interface_v` specialization comes from the base class: + +```cpp +template +inline constexpr bool has_thunked_interface_v< + thunked_runtimeclass, Q> = + (std::is_same_v || ...); +``` + +But `consume_general` receives `Derive = PropertySet`, not +`Derive = thunked_runtimeclass<...>`. So we need the runtimeclass to expose the trait. +Two options: + +**Option A:** Each thunked runtimeclass inherits a marker: +```cpp +using thunked_interfaces = std::tuple, IIterable<...>, IObservableMap<...>>; +``` + +Then `has_thunked_interface_v` detects the `thunked_interfaces` member type and checks +if `Q` is in the tuple via fold expression. **No explicit specializations needed.** + +**Option B:** The code generator emits one specialization per runtimeclass: +```cpp +template<> inline constexpr bool has_thunked_cache_v = true; +``` + +And `thunk_cache_slot()` is inherited from the base class. + +**Recommendation:** Option A — a `thunked_interfaces` type alias in the base, detected +by the trait. Zero per-class trait generation. + +```cpp +template +inline constexpr bool has_thunked_interface_v = false; + +template +inline constexpr bool has_thunked_interface_v> = + tuple_contains_v; +``` + +### `thunk_cache_slot()` accessor + +Defined in `thunked_runtimeclass`: + +```cpp +template +std::atomic const& thunk_cache_slot() const +{ + constexpr size_t idx = type_index::value; + static_assert(idx < sizeof...(I), "Interface not in thunked list"); + return pairs[idx].cache; +} +``` + +`type_index` is the compile-time index-of-type helper (already in the prototype). + +### ABI overloads via constrained template + +Instead of generating per-class `get_abi`/`put_abi`/`detach_abi`/`attach_abi`, use +a single constrained template that matches any thunked type: + +```cpp +// In winrt::impl or winrt namespace: +template + requires (requires { typename T::thunked_interfaces; }) +void* get_abi(T const& object) noexcept +{ + return object.get_default_abi(); +} + +template + requires (requires { typename T::thunked_interfaces; }) +void** put_abi(T& object) noexcept +{ + object.clear_thunked(); + return object.put_default_abi(); +} + +template + requires (requires { typename T::thunked_interfaces; }) +void* detach_abi(T& object) noexcept +{ + return object.detach_default_abi(); +} + +template + requires (requires { typename T::thunked_interfaces; }) +void attach_abi(T& object, void* value) noexcept +{ + object.attach_default_abi(value); +} +``` + +These are more constrained than `get_abi(IUnknown const&)` and win overload resolution. +**One definition covers all thunked runtimeclasses.** The `get_default_abi()`, +`put_default_abi()`, etc. methods are on `ThunkedRuntimeClassBase`. + +### `write_abi_args` change + +Replace `*(void**)(¶m)` with `get_abi(param)` for `object_type` IN params: + +```cpp +case param_category::object_type: + w.write("get_abi(%)", param_name); + break; +case param_category::string_type: + w.write("*(void**)(&%)", param_name); // hstring stays as-is + break; +``` + +Dispatches through overload resolution: +- Thunked runtimeclass → constrained template → `get_default_abi()` +- Interface type → `get_abi(IUnknown const&)` → `*(void**)(&object)` (unchanged) +- `param::` wrappers → their own `get_abi` overloads (unchanged) + +### `bind_out` safety + +Add a `static_assert` for defense: + +```cpp +operator void** () const noexcept +{ + static_assert(sizeof(T) == sizeof(void*), + "bind_out requires sizeof(T) == sizeof(void*); use put_abi() for larger types"); + // ... existing code +} +``` + +OUT params in WinRT ABI are always interface-typed, so this should never fire. + +--- + +## Runtimeclass generated shape + +### Before (current): + +```cpp +struct WINRT_IMPL_EMPTY_BASES PropertySet : IPropertySet, + impl::require, + IIterable>, + IObservableMap> +{ + PropertySet(std::nullptr_t) noexcept {} + PropertySet(void* ptr, take_ownership_from_abi_t) noexcept + : IPropertySet(ptr, take_ownership_from_abi) {} + PropertySet(); +}; +``` + +`sizeof(PropertySet) == sizeof(void*)`.

If the slot -still holds the thunk, the vtable dispatch goes through the ASM stub which resolves it. -If already resolved, it's a direct vtable call. **No `if(null)` check at the call site.** -The thunk IS the null-state handler, encoded in the ASM. +`default_cache` is `sizeof(void*)` — reinterpreting it as `IInspectable const*` is valid +(same aliasing as projected interfaces).

These go through +`consume_general`. + +### Old dispatch (per call to a secondary interface) + +``` +consume_general is called with Derive=DisplayInformation, Base=IDisplayInformation4. +Derive != Base, so: + 1. try_as_with_reason(info) → QueryInterface + AddRef + 2. *(abi_t**)&result → load vtable from QI result + 3. (abi->*mptr)(args...) → call ScreenBrightness via vtable + 4. ~com_ref() → Release on the QI result +``` + +Every call does QI + Release — two interlocked refcount operations and a COM +apartment check, even though the same object always returns the same interface. + +### New dispatch (per call to a secondary interface) + +``` +consume_general is called with Derive=DisplayInformation, Base=IDisplayInformation4. +has_thunked_interface_v is true, so: + 1. d->thunk_cache_slot() → address of cache slot (compile-time offset) + 2. *(abi_t**)(&slot) → load pointer from cache slot + 3. (abi->*mptr)(args...) → call ScreenBrightness via vtable +``` + +No QI, no Release, no refcount traffic. The cache slot holds either a thunk (first +call) or the real interface pointer (all subsequent calls). + +## The proxy-replacement mechanism + +Each cache slot is initialized to point at an `interface_thunk` — a 16-byte struct +that masquerades as a COM object. Its vtable points to a shared table of 256 ASM +stubs. + +``` +cache_and_thunk layout: + +┌─ cache: atomic ──── initially points to ──┐ +├─ thunk: interface_thunk ◄────────────────────────┘ +│ vtable → g_thunk_vtable[256] +│ payload → (header pointer + interface index) +└────────────────────────────────────────────── +``` + +### First call through a cache slot + +The cache holds a pointer to the thunk.

Reads `thunk->payload` to find the default interface pointer and the IID +2. Calls `QueryInterface(iid, &real)` +3. Atomically replaces the cache slot: `cache.compare_exchange(&thunk, real)` +4. Returns the real interface pointer + +The stub then tail-jumps to `real_vtable[slot_index]`, completing the original +method call with the real COM object. + +### All subsequent calls + +The cache slot now holds the real `IMap*` pointer. The vtable dispatch goes directly +to the real COM object's vtable — zero overhead vs a raw interface call. + +### Why this is safe + +**Thread safety.** Two threads racing to resolve the same slot both QI successfully. +The winner's `compare_exchange` stores the real pointer; the loser's CAS fails, it +Releases its duplicate result and uses the winner's pointer. All reads after +resolution are `memory_order_acquire` loads — standard lock-free pattern. + +**Lifetime safety.** The thunk's IUnknown slots are no-ops: `QueryInterface` returns +`E_NOINTERFACE`, `AddRef` and `Release` return 1. This means: + +- **Destructor** can unconditionally Release every cache slot. Thunk → no-op Release. + Real pointer → normal Release. No "is it a thunk?" check needed. +- **Copy** AddRefs the default interface and re-initializes fresh thunks in the + destination (lazy re-resolve on first use). +- **Move** steals the default pointer and all cache slots wholesale, then + re-initializes thunks in the source. + +**ABI compatibility.** The thunk is layout-compatible with a COM object (`void**` +pointing to a vtable). Any code that reads `*(void**)&cache_slot` gets a valid +vtable pointer — either the thunk's or the real object's.

This worked when `sizeof(T) == sizeof(void*)`, but for thunked types +(sizeof > 8 bytes) the reinterpret reads past the `void*` stack slot into garbage — even +with `default_cache` as the first member, the thunk pairs and iid_table beyond it are +uninitialized stack memory. + +**Why it matters:** Produce stubs forward ABI calls to C++ component implementations. +The shim's method signature takes projected types (`DataPackage const&`). If the +implementation accesses any secondary interface on the parameter, it reads through the +thunk cache slots — which were never initialized because the `T const&` was just a +reinterpret of 8 bytes, not a properly constructed thunked wrapper. + +**Fix:** `produce_borrowed_ref` — a non-owning RAII wrapper for produce stub parameters. +Constructs via `T{nullptr}` + `attach_abi(value, abi)` to properly initialize the full +thunked layout from the ABI `void*`. Calls `detach_abi(value)` on destruction to prevent +Release (the caller owns the reference). For non-thunked runtimeclass types, `attach_abi` +just stores the `void*` — same cost as before. + +The code generator emits `produce_borrowed_ref(param)` for `class_type` IN params +only.

The faulting address contains freed +memory (`0xc0c0c0c0` AppVerifier fill). + +**Root cause:** `interface_thunk::resolve()` uses `check_hresult()` on the QI result. +If QueryInterface fails (e.g. `E_NOINTERFACE`), `check_hresult` throws a C++ exception. +But `resolve()` is called from `winrt_fast_resolve_thunk()`, which is called from the +x64 ASM `common_thunk_dispatch` stub. That stub has no `.pdata`/`.xdata` unwind +metadata — it manually saves registers to `[rsp+10h/18h/20h]` and uses +`push/sub rsp/call/add rsp/pop/jmp`. An exception thrown through this frame corrupts +the stack unwinder's state, leading to undefined behavior downstream. + +Even if the ASM had proper unwind info, the design is wrong: `consume_general`'s +thunked branch does `check_hresult((_winrt_abi_type->*mptr)(...))` — it expects the +HRESULT from the actual method call, not an exception from the vtable dispatch itself. + +**The test:** `async_propagate_cancel` calls `ActionAction(10)`, creating 10 nested +`IAsyncAction` layers. When cancellation propagates, each layer completes synchronously +in `final_suspend_awaiter::await_suspend`. During the deep completion unwinding, +the `CheckWithWait` lambda's `REQUIRE(async == sender)` calls `operator==` which calls +`try_as()` on the `async` variable. At this point the `async` COM pointer +references freed memory. + +**Fix options considered:** + +- **(A) Return thunk on failure:** Leave cache unresolved.

Without -this, `implements` doesn't create `producer_convert` because -thunked Class4 doesn't derive from IInspectable (which was the old detection path). - -**ABI overloads moved to `base_windows.h`:** All thunked SFINAE overloads (get_abi, put_abi, -detach_abi, attach_abi, copy_from_abi, copy_to_abi) moved from `base_thunked_runtimeclass.h` -to `base_windows.h` so they're visible at all call sites (detach_from in base_activation.h -couldn't see them when they were in the later-included thunked header). Added rvalue ref -overload `detach_abi(T&&)`. Added `!has_thunked_cache_v` exclusion to all value-type -ABI overloads. - -**Build system:** Created `test/Directory.Build.targets` to compile x64/x86 ASM thunk stubs -into all test binaries. The resolve function is defined inline in `base_thunked_runtimeclass.h` -via `extern "C" inline` with a `selectany` forcelink. C++/CX and proxy/stub nuget test -projects have per-project `Directory.Build.targets` that remove MASM items to avoid -unresolved symbol errors (they don't include `winrt/base.h`). - -**Implicit conversions:** Added `operator IUnknown()` and `operator IInspectable()` to -`thunked_runtimeclass_base` — many APIs expect runtimeclass types to be implicitly -convertible to IInspectable (e.g., `vector.Append(uri)` where vector is -`IVector`). The conversion creates a temp with AddRef via copy_from_abi. -Reduced errors from 42 to 8. - -**Remaining errors (8, 3 distinct issues):** - -1. **agile_ref**: `agile_ref` ctor takes `com_ref const&`. Thunked types aren't - `com_ref`. Need to overload the ctor or add a deduction path that accepts any type - with `get_abi()`. - -@Copilot - agile_ref detect that T uses cached interfaces, then grab the default interface -out of it as needed? - -2. **LiesAboutInheritance no default ctor**: `unbox_value_type` path tries `T{}`. - Generated thunked types only have `(nullptr_t)` and `(void*, take_ownership_from_abi_t)` - ctors — no default ctor. Old types got one from inheriting IStringable (which has a - default ctor from IInspectable). - -@Copilot - Is this a code bug? - -3. **IReference ABI mismatch**: `LiesAboutInheritance` as thunked type - is sizeof > sizeof(void*), so `IReference::Value()` ABI out-param can't take it as a - pointer. This is an edge case — `IReference` is for value types. The test intentionally - exercises unusual metadata. - -@Copilot - What do you propose as a fix? - -**Status:** Phase 2 compiles cleanly for the component (test_component.dll) and most of the -consumer test (test.exe). 8 errors remain, all in test.exe, all related to thunked types not -fully mimicking the old IUnknown-based interface. The core thunking mechanism is working — -PropertySet, StringMap, Deferral, Uri, and many other types are now thunked. - -@Copilot - how would you want to verify that? The prototype had a simple method that excercised -creating a PropertySet and calling methods on it, inspecting the disassembly to verify that it -was all "load slot, load vtable from slot, call vtable method" sequences, rather than "call -QueryInterface, load vtable from that, call vtable method" sequences. Maybe pull that sample -over to one of the test .cpp files, build for x64 Release, disassemble the binary, and verify -the layout? - -### Next steps — COMPLETED (Session 2 continued) - -All 3 issues resolved with a single systematic fix: thunked types must be recognized -as COM object types everywhere the library distinguishes COM from value types. - -**Root cause:** The library uses `is_base_of` and `is_base_of` -in ~15 places to distinguish COM types from value types. Thunked types don't derive from -either, so they fell into value-type code paths causing: wrong `arg` resolution -(`abi_t` instead of `void*`), wrong `com_ref` resolution (`com_ptr` instead of `T`), -wrong `empty_value` (`T{}` instead of `nullptr`), wrong `box_value`/`unbox_value` paths. - -**Fix applied (committed `40dac14b`):** -- `base_meta.h`: moved thunked traits to top (before `empty_value` and `arg`); - `arg` and `empty_value` include `has_thunked_cache_v` -- `base_windows.h`: `is_com_interface` and `com_ref` include `has_thunked_cache_v` -- `base_reference_produce.h`: `box_value`, `unbox_value`, `unbox_value_or` include - `has_thunked_cache_v` - -**Result:** Zero compile errors, zero linker errors. 23/25 tests pass. 2 failures -(`custom_error`, `disconnected`) are pre-existing EH funclet issues — verified by running -the same tests on the Phase 1 commit (same failures). - -### Remaining: disassembly verification - -Add a test function that creates a `PropertySet`, calls `Insert`/`Lookup`/`Size`, build -x64 Release, then disassemble with `cdb -logo nul -z test.exe -c "uf test!function ; q"` -and verify the hot path is `load cache slot → load vtable → call method` with no QI. - -**Status:** The thunk infrastructure is linked into test.exe (verified: `winrt_cached_thunk_vtable`, -stub symbols, IID tables for Uri/Deferral/XmlDocument/etc. all present). However the existing -test code exercises projected types through raw interfaces (e.g., `IMap` directly), -not through runtimeclass wrappers. Need to add a dedicated test function that uses a -thunked runtimeclass (e.g., `PropertySet ps; ps.Insert(L"key", box_value(42)); ps.Size()`) -to generate consumer-side thunked dispatch code for disassembly verification. - -### Phase 3 test coverage (committed `722d83a5`) - -| Test case | Assertions | Covers | -|-----------|------------|--------| -| `thunked_dispatch` | 10 | Insert/Lookup/Size/HasKey/Remove/Clear via PropertySet | -| `thunked_copy_move` | 9 | Copy ctor/assign, move ctor/assign, nullptr assign | -| `thunked_abi_interop` | 7 | get_abi, copy_to/from_abi, detach/attach_abi, put_abi | -| `thunked_as_try_as` | 7 | as, as, try_as success/fail, implicit IInspectable/IUnknown | -| `thunked_threading` | 2 | 8 threads x 100 iterations concurrent Insert/HasKey/Size | - -**Bug found by tests:** `copy_from_abi` and `attach_abi` for thunked types only set -`default_cache` without reinitializing thunk pairs. After a null PropertySet received a -new COM pointer via `copy_from_abi`, its cache slots were still zero → SIGSEGV on first -secondary interface call. Fixed by adding `reset_thunked(void*)` that clears old state -and re-initializes all pairs via `attach_impl`. - -**Completed (committed `63e8c490`):** -- `thunked_generic_default`: StringMap with `IMap` generic default. - Insert/Lookup/HasKey/Size/Clear + range-for iteration + `as`. -- `thunked_full_mode`: `Package` with 9 secondaries (>8 → `use_tagged=false`). - Static asserts verify `tuple_size>8` and `use_tagged==false`. Null construction, - copy/move of null. - -**All Phase 3 test scenarios from the plan are now covered.** - -### E2E validation (`build_test_all.cmd`, committed `b175ad26`) - -Full clean e2e build passes: cppwinrt, natvis (2 configs), all 10 test targets, nuget. -9/9 test suites green. test_old: 222/223 pass. - -**Issues found and fixed during e2e:** - -1. **Async types thunked incorrectly.** `DataWriterStoreOperation` (default - `IAsyncOperation`) lost `await_resume`/`operator co_await` because thunked - types don't inherit the async interface. Fixed: `has_async_default_interface()` detects - `IAsyncAction`/`IAsyncOperation` via `TypeSpec.GenericTypeInst().GenericType()` and - excludes them from thunking. - -2. **`bind_in` reads wrong field.** `reinterpret_cast(object)` reads `iid_table` - (first member) instead of `default_cache`. Fixed: SFINAE partial specialization of - `bind_in` for thunked types that stores `get_abi()` in a member. - -3. **Delegate ABI mismatch.** Generated delegate produce stubs used - `*reinterpret_cast(¶m)` to convert `void*` ABI parameters to projected - types. For thunked types (>8 bytes), this overreads the stack. Fixed: codegen emits - `impl::delegate_arg(param)` which constructs a proper thunked temporary (AddRef for - borrowed reference). Helper lives in `base_thunked_runtimeclass.h` (not `base_windows.h`) - to avoid natvis compilation. - -4. **`operator==` missing.** Thunked types don't inherit `IUnknown`'s `operator==`. - Fixed: hidden-friend `operator==`/`!=` on `thunked_runtimeclass_base` with three-tier - comparison: `&left == &right` → `default_cache` match → QI for IUnknown (COM identity). - -5. **`test_slow` QI count changed.** `Simple.cpp` expected 4 diagnostics QI calls, now 1. - Thunked interface resolution calls `QueryInterface` directly (bypasses diagnostics hooks). - Updated test expectation. - -**1 remaining failure:** `test_old/event_consume.cpp:147` — factory event revoker crash -(SIGSEGV in "consume factory events"). Not in thunked code path — `Clipboard` is a static -class, `IClipboardStatics` is an interface. Needs investigation. - -### Produce stub ABI mismatch (fixed post-checkpoint) - -**Root cause:** `write_produce_args` in `code_writers.h` generates arguments for produce -stub upcalls (`this->shim().Method(...)`). For runtimeclass IN parameters it used -`*reinterpret_cast(¶m)` to view the `void*` ABI parameter as a projected -type reference. This worked when `sizeof(T) == sizeof(void*)`, but for thunked types -(sizeof > 8 bytes) the reinterpret reads past the `void*` stack slot into garbage — even -with `default_cache` as the first member, the thunk pairs and iid_table beyond it are -uninitialized stack memory. - -**Why it matters:** Produce stubs forward ABI calls to C++ component implementations. -The shim's method signature takes projected types (`DataPackage const&`). If the -implementation accesses any secondary interface on the parameter, it reads through the -thunk cache slots — which were never initialized because the `T const&` was just a -reinterpret of 8 bytes, not a properly constructed thunked wrapper. - -**Fix:** `produce_borrowed_ref` — a non-owning RAII wrapper for produce stub parameters. -Constructs via `T{nullptr}` + `attach_abi(value, abi)` to properly initialize the full -thunked layout from the ABI `void*`. Calls `detach_abi(value)` on destruction to prevent -Release (the caller owns the reference). For non-thunked runtimeclass types, `attach_abi` -just stores the `void*` — same cost as before. - -The code generator emits `produce_borrowed_ref(param)` for `class_type` IN params -only. Interface and delegate types remain `sizeof(void*)` and continue to use the -zero-cost reinterpret pattern. - -**Layout fix:** `thunked_runtimeclass_header` was also reordered to -`{default_cache, iid_table}` so that `*(void**)&object` reads the COM pointer first — -matching the IUnknown layout. This fixes `bind_in`, `get_abi`, and other `reinterpret_cast` -patterns that read the first member. The earlier `bind_in` SFINAE specialization was -removed as it's no longer needed. - -### Issue 6: `interface_thunk::resolve()` throws through ASM frame on QI failure - -**Discovered:** 2026-05-04 via TTD trace of `async_propagate_cancel` test crash. - -**Symptoms:** Access violation in `winrt::impl::try_as` inside `operator==`, with -deeply nested synchronous coroutine completion chain (10 layers of -`ActionAction$_ResumeCoro → final_suspend_awaiter::await_suspend → set_completed → -invoke(handler) → ActionAction$_ResumeCoro`). The faulting address contains freed -memory (`0xc0c0c0c0` AppVerifier fill). - -**Root cause:** `interface_thunk::resolve()` uses `check_hresult()` on the QI result. -If QueryInterface fails (e.g. `E_NOINTERFACE`), `check_hresult` throws a C++ exception. -But `resolve()` is called from `winrt_cached_resolve_thunk()`, which is called from the -x64 ASM `CachedResolveAndDispatch` stub. Although that stub now uses `NESTED_ENTRY` -with proper `.pdata`/`.xdata` unwind metadata, the design is still wrong: an exception -thrown through `resolve()` would unwind through the ASM frame and skip the caller's -`check_hresult` entirely. - -Even if the ASM had proper unwind info, the design is wrong: `consume_general`'s -thunked branch does `check_hresult((_winrt_abi_type->*mptr)(...))` — it expects the -HRESULT from the actual method call, not an exception from the vtable dispatch itself. - -**The test:** `async_propagate_cancel` calls `ActionAction(10)`, creating 10 nested -`IAsyncAction` layers. When cancellation propagates, each layer completes synchronously -in `final_suspend_awaiter::await_suspend`. During the deep completion unwinding, -the `CheckWithWait` lambda's `REQUIRE(async == sender)` calls `operator==` which calls -`try_as()` on the `async` variable. At this point the `async` COM pointer -references freed memory. - -**Fix options considered:** - -- **(A) Return thunk on failure:** Leave cache unresolved. Problem: `CachedResolveAndDispatch` - tail-jumps to `[vtable + slot*8]` which re-enters the same stub, infinite loop. - -- **(B) Error sentinel vtable:** Create a static vtable where every slot returns - `E_NOINTERFACE`. On QI failure, CAS the cache slot from thunk → error sentinel. - `CachedResolveAndDispatch` tail-jumps into the sentinel, which returns `E_NOINTERFACE`. - `consume_general`'s `check_hresult` on the method result throws `hresult_no_interface` - as expected. No ASM changes needed. Matches the "thunk IS the null-state handler" design. - -- **(C) HRESULT out-param in resolve:** Change `resolve(HRESULT* hr)`, ASM checks rax==null - and returns HRESULT directly. Cleanest semantics but requires ASM changes per arch. - -**Recommended: Option D** — null return + ASM early-out. - -`resolve()` returns `nullptr` without modifying the cache slot when QI fails. The cache -stays pointing to the thunk (retryable on next call). `CachedResolveAndDispatch` checks -the return value; if null, it does `mov eax, 0x80004002; ret` to return `E_NOINTERFACE` -directly to the caller. `consume_general`'s `check_hresult` on the method result throws -`hresult_no_interface` in a proper C++ frame. - -Changes: one line in `resolve()`, ~4 lines added to each of 4 ASM files (x64, x86, -arm64, arm64ec). - -**Status:** Implemented. \ No newline at end of file +## Development Notes + +### Key architectural decisions + +1. **`default_cache` is the first member** of `thunked_runtimeclass_header`, so + `*(void**)(&object)` reads the COM pointer — matching the `IUnknown` layout that + `get_abi`, `bind_in`, and other `reinterpret_cast` patterns rely on. + +2. **Thunked traits in `base_meta.h`**, not `base_thunked_runtimeclass.h`.
