After removing `!Send` resources, `GILRS` and `WINIT_WINDOWS` were not made public, which is a breaking change. This was brought up in a [comment on that PR](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/18386#issuecomment-2954209010). This PR makes them public. Fixes #19540.

## NonSend Resources Replaced
|
|
|
|
As an effort to remove `!Send` resources in Bevy, we replaced the following resources:
|
|
|
|
* `Gilrs` - _For wasm32 only, other platforms are unchanged -_ Replaced with `bevy_gilrs::GILRS`
|
|
* `WinitWindows` - Replaced with `bevy_winit::WINIT_WINDOWS`
|
|
* `AccessKitAdapters` - Replaced with `bevy_winit::ACCESS_KIT_ADAPTERS`
|
|
|
|
Each of these are now using `thread_local`s to store the data and are temporary solutions to storing `!Send` data. Even though `thread_local`s are thread safe, they should not be accessed from other threads. If they are accessed from other threads, the data will be uninitialized in each non-main thread, which isn't very useful.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of how the data can now be accessed. This example will use `WINIT_WINDOWS` as an example, but the same technique can be applied to the others:
|
|
|
|
### Immutable Access
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use bevy_winit::WINIT_WINDOWS;
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
WINIT_WINDOWS.with_borrow(|winit_windows| {
|
|
// do things with `winit_windows`
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Mutable Access
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use bevy_winit::WINIT_WINDOWS;
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
WINIT_WINDOWS.with_borrow_mut(|winit_windows| {
|
|
// do things with `winit_windows`
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If a borrow is attempted while the data is borrowed elsewhere, the method will panic.
|
|
|
|
## NonSend Systems
|
|
|
|
Previously, the use of a `!Send` resource in a system would force the system to execute on the main thread. Since `!Send` resources are removed in Bevy, we needed to create a new way to prevent systems from running on non-main threads. To do this, you can now use `bevy_ecs::system::NonSendMarker` as a system parameter:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use bevy_ecs::system::NonSendMarker;
|
|
|
|
fn my_system(
|
|
_non_send_marker: NonSendMarker,
|
|
) {
|
|
ACCESS_KIT_ADAPTERS.with_borrow_mut(|adapters| {
|
|
// do things with adapters
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To prevent a panic, if any of the `!Send` resource replacements mentioned in this document are used in a system, the system should _always_ be marked as `!Send` with `bevy_ecs::system::NonSendMarker`.
