# Objective As mentioned in [this](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/13152#issuecomment-2198387297) comment, creating a function registry (see #14098) is a bit difficult due to the requirements of `DynamicFunction`. Internally, a `DynamicFunction` contains a `Box<dyn FnMut>` (the function that reifies reflected arguments and calls the actual function), which requires `&mut self` in order to be called. This means that users would require a mutable reference to the function registry for it to be useful— which isn't great. And they can't clone the `DynamicFunction` either because cloning an `FnMut` isn't really feasible (wrapping it in an `Arc` would allow it to be cloned but we wouldn't be able to call the clone since we need a mutable reference to the `FnMut`, which we can't get with multiple `Arc`s still alive, requiring us to also slap in a `Mutex`, which adds additional overhead). And we don't want to just replace the `dyn FnMut` with `dyn Fn` as that would prevent reflecting closures that mutate their environment. Instead, we need to introduce a new type to split the requirements of `DynamicFunction`. ## Solution Introduce new types for representing closures. Specifically, this PR introduces `DynamicClosure` and `DynamicClosureMut`. Similar to how `IntoFunction` exists for `DynamicFunction`, two new traits were introduced: `IntoClosure` and `IntoClosureMut`. Now `DynamicFunction` stores a `dyn Fn` with a `'static` lifetime. `DynamicClosure` also uses a `dyn Fn` but has a lifetime, `'env`, tied to its environment. `DynamicClosureMut` is most like the old `DynamicFunction`, keeping the `dyn FnMut` and also typing its lifetime, `'env`, to the environment Here are some comparison tables: | | `DynamicFunction` | `DynamicClosure` | `DynamicClosureMut` | | - | ----------------- | ---------------- | ------------------- | | Callable with `&self` | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | | Callable with `&mut self` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | | Allows for non-`'static` lifetimes | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | | | `IntoFunction` | `IntoClosure` | `IntoClosureMut` | | - | -------------- | ------------- | ---------------- | | Convert `fn` functions | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | | Convert `fn` methods | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | | Convert anonymous functions | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | | Convert closures that capture immutable references | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | | Convert closures that capture mutable references | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | | Convert closures that capture owned values | ❌[^1] | ✅ | ✅ | [^1]: Due to limitations in Rust, `IntoFunction` can't be implemented for just functions (unless we forced users to manually coerce them to function pointers first). So closures that meet the trait requirements _can technically_ be converted into a `DynamicFunction` as well. To both future-proof and reduce confusion, though, we'll just pretend like this isn't a thing. ```rust let mut list: Vec<i32> = vec![1, 2, 3]; // `replace` is a closure that captures a mutable reference to `list` let mut replace = |index: usize, value: i32| -> i32 { let old_value = list[index]; list[index] = value; old_value }; // Convert the closure into a dynamic closure using `IntoClosureMut::into_closure_mut` let mut func: DynamicClosureMut = replace.into_closure_mut(); // Dynamically call the closure: let args = ArgList::default().push_owned(1_usize).push_owned(-2_i32); let value = func.call_once(args).unwrap().unwrap_owned(); // Check the result: assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 2); assert_eq!(list, vec![1, -2, 3]); ``` ### `ReflectFn`/`ReflectFnMut` To make extending the function reflection system easier (the blanket impls for `IntoFunction`, `IntoClosure`, and `IntoClosureMut` are all incredibly short), this PR generalizes callables with two new traits: `ReflectFn` and `ReflectFnMut`. These traits mimic `Fn` and `FnMut` but allow for being called via reflection. In fact, their blanket implementations are identical save for `ReflectFn` being implemented over `Fn` types and `ReflectFnMut` being implemented over `FnMut` types. And just as `Fn` is a subtrait of `FnMut`, `ReflectFn` is a subtrait of `ReflectFnMut`. So anywhere that expects a `ReflectFnMut` can also be given a `ReflectFn`. To reiterate, these traits aren't 100% necessary. They were added in purely for extensibility. If we decide to split things up differently or add new traits/types in the future, then those changes should be much simpler to implement. ### `TypedFunction` Because of the split into `ReflectFn` and `ReflectFnMut`, we needed a new way to access the function type information. This PR moves that concept over into `TypedFunction`. Much like `Typed`, this provides a way to access a function's `FunctionInfo`. By splitting this trait out, it helps to ensure the other traits are focused on a single responsibility. ### Internal Macros The original function PR (#13152) implemented `IntoFunction` using a macro which was passed into an `all_tuples!` macro invocation. Because we needed the same functionality for these new traits, this PR has copy+pasted that code for `ReflectFn`, `ReflectFnMut`, and `TypedFunction`— albeit with some differences between them. Originally, I was going to try and macro-ify the impls and where clauses such that we wouldn't have to straight up duplicate a lot of this logic. However, aside from being more complex in general, autocomplete just does not play nice with such heavily nested macros (tried in both RustRover and VSCode). And both of those problems told me that it just wasn't worth it: we need to ensure the crate is easily maintainable, even at the cost of duplicating code. So instead, I made sure to simplify the macro code by removing all fully-qualified syntax and cutting the where clauses down to the bare essentials, which helps to clean up a lot of the visual noise. I also tried my best to document the macro logic in certain areas (I may even add a bit more) to help with maintainability for future devs. ### Documentation Documentation for this module was a bit difficult for me. So many of these traits and types are very interconnected. And each trait/type has subtle differences that make documenting it in a single place, like at the module level, difficult to do cleanly. Describing the valid signatures is also challenging to do well. Hopefully what I have here is okay. I think I did an okay job, but let me know if there any thoughts on ways to improve it. We can also move such a task to a followup PR for more focused discussion. ## Testing You can test locally by running: ``` cargo test --package bevy_reflect ``` --- ## Changelog - Added `DynamicClosure` struct - Added `DynamicClosureMut` struct - Added `IntoClosure` trait - Added `IntoClosureMut` trait - Added `ReflectFn` trait - Added `ReflectFnMut` trait - Added `TypedFunction` trait - `IntoFunction` now only works for standard Rust functions - `IntoFunction` no longer takes a lifetime parameter - `DynamicFunction::call` now only requires `&self` - Removed `DynamicFunction::call_once` - Changed the `IntoReturn::into_return` signature to include a where clause ## Internal Migration Guide > [!important] > Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14. ### `IntoClosure` `IntoFunction` now only works for standard Rust functions. Calling `IntoFunction::into_function` on a closure that captures references to its environment (either mutable or immutable), will no longer compile. Instead, you will need to use either `IntoClosure::into_closure` to create a `DynamicClosure` or `IntoClosureMut::into_closure_mut` to create a `DynamicClosureMut`, depending on your needs: ```rust let punct = String::from("!"); let print = |value: String| { println!("{value}{punct}"); }; // BEFORE let func: DynamicFunction = print.into_function(); // AFTER let func: DynamicClosure = print.into_closure(); ``` ### `IntoFunction` lifetime Additionally, `IntoFunction` no longer takes a lifetime parameter as it always expects a `'static` lifetime. Usages will need to remove any lifetime parameters: ```rust // BEFORE fn execute<'env, F: IntoFunction<'env, Marker>, Marker>(f: F) {/* ... */} // AFTER fn execute<F: IntoFunction<Marker>, Marker>(f: F) {/* ... */} ``` ### `IntoReturn` `IntoReturn::into_return` now has a where clause. Any manual implementors will need to add this where clause to their implementation. |

What is Bevy?
Bevy is a refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust. It is free and open-source forever!
WARNING
Bevy is still in the early stages of development. Important features are missing. Documentation is sparse. A new version of Bevy containing breaking changes to the API is released approximately once every 3 months. We provide migration guides, but we can't guarantee migrations will always be easy. Use only if you are willing to work in this environment.
MSRV: Bevy relies heavily on improvements in the Rust language and compiler. As a result, the Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is generally close to "the latest stable release" of Rust.
Design Goals
- Capable: Offer a complete 2D and 3D feature set
- Simple: Easy for newbies to pick up, but infinitely flexible for power users
- Data Focused: Data-oriented architecture using the Entity Component System paradigm
- Modular: Use only what you need. Replace what you don't like
- Fast: App logic should run quickly, and when possible, in parallel
- Productive: Changes should compile quickly ... waiting isn't fun

Some of the engine's code carries additional copyright notices and license terms due to their external origins.
These are generally BSD-like, but exact details vary by crate:
If the README of a crate contains a 'License' header (or similar), the additional copyright notices and license terms applicable to that crate will be listed.
The above licensing requirement still applies to contributions to those crates, and sections of those crates will carry those license terms.
The license field of each crate will also reflect this.
For example, bevy_mikktspace has code under the Zlib license (as well as a copyright notice when choosing the MIT license).
The assets included in this repository (for our examples) typically fall under different open licenses. These will not be included in your game (unless copied in by you), and they are not distributed in the published bevy crates. See CREDITS.md for the details of the licenses of those files.
