cr.h

A single file header-only live reload solution for C, written in C++:

NOTE: The only file that matters in this repository is cr.h.

This file contains the documentation in markdown, the license, the implementation and the public api. All other files in this repository are supporting files and can be safely ignored.

Building cr - Using vcpkg

You can download and install cr using the vcpkg dependency manager:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
./vcpkg integrate install
./vcpkg install cr

The cr port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please create an issue or pull request on the vcpkg repository.

Example

A (thin) host application executable will make use of cr to manage live-reloading of the real application in the form of dynamic loadable binary, a host would be something like:

#define CR_HOST // required in the host only and before including cr.h
#include "../cr.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    // the host application should initalize a plugin with a context, a plugin
    cr_plugin ctx;

    // the full path to the live-reloadable application
    cr_plugin_open(ctx, "c:/path/to/build/game.dll");

    // call the update function at any frequency matters to you, this will give
    // the real application a chance to run
    while (!cr_plugin_update(ctx)) {
        // do anything you need to do on host side (ie. windowing and input stuff?)
    }

    // at the end do not forget to cleanup the plugin context
    cr_plugin_close(ctx);
    return 0;
}

While the guest (real application), would be like:

CR_EXPORT int cr_main(struct cr_plugin *ctx, enum cr_op operation) {
    assert(ctx);
    switch (operation) {
        case CR_LOAD:   return on_load(...); // loading back from a reload
        case CR_UNLOAD: return on_unload(...); // preparing to a new reload
        case CR_CLOSE: ...; // the plugin will close and not reload anymore
    }
    // CR_STEP
    return on_update(...);
}

Samples

Two simple samples can be found in the samples directory.

The first is one is a simple console application that demonstrate some basic static states working between instances and basic crash handling tests. Print to output is used to show what is happening.

The second one demonstrates how to live-reload an opengl application using Dear ImGui. Some state lives in the host side while most of the code is in the guest side.

imgui sample

Running Samples and Tests

The samples and tests uses the fips build system. It requires Python and CMake.

$ ./fips build            # will generate and build all artifacts
$ ./fips run crTest       # To run tests
$ ./fips run imgui_host   # To run imgui sample
# open a new console, then modify imgui_guest.cpp
$ ./fips make imgui_guest # to build and force imgui sample live reload

Documentation

int (*cr_main)(struct cr_plugin *ctx, enum cr_op operation)

This is the function pointer to the dynamic loadable binary entry point function.

Arguments

Return

bool cr_plugin_open(cr_plugin &ctx, const char *fullpath)

Loads and initialize the plugin.

Arguments

Return

void cr_set_temporary_path(cr_plugin& ctx, const std::string &path)

Sets temporary path to which temporary copies of plugin will be placed. Should be called immediately after cr_plugin_open(). If temporary path is not set, temporary copies of the file will be copied to the same directory where the original file is located.

Arguments

int cr_plugin_update(cr_plugin &ctx, bool reloadCheck = true)

This function will call the plugin cr_main function. It should be called as frequently as the core logic/application needs.

Arguments

Return

void cr_plugin_close(cr_plugin &ctx)

Cleanup internal states once the plugin is not required anymore.

Arguments

cr_op

Enum indicating the kind of step that is being executed by the host:

cr_plugin

The plugin instance context struct.

cr_failure

If a crash in the loadable binary happens, the crash handler will indicate the reason of the crash with one of these:

CR_HOST define

This define should be used before including the cr.h in the host, if CR_HOST is not defined, cr.h will work as a public API header file to be used in the guest implementation.

Optionally CR_HOST may also be defined to one of the following values as a way to configure the safety operation mode for automatic static state management (CR_STATE):

CR_STATE macro

Used to tag a global or local static variable to be saved and restored during a reload.

Usage

static bool CR_STATE bInitialized = false;

Overridable macros

You can define these macros before including cr.h in host (CR_HOST) to customize cr.h memory allocations and other behaviours:

FAQ / Troubleshooting

Q: Why?

A: Read about why I made this here.

Q: My application asserts/crash when freeing heap data allocated inside the dll, what is happening?

A: Make sure both your application host and your dll are using the dynamic run-time (/MD or /MDd) as any data allocated in the heap must be freed with the same allocator instance, by sharing the run-time between guest and host you will guarantee the same allocator is being used.

Q: Can we load multiple plugins at the same time?

A: Yes. This should work without issues on Windows. On Linux and OSX there may be issues with crash handling

Q: You said this wouldn't lock my PDB, but it still locks! Why?

If you had to load the dll before cr for any reason, Visual Studio may still hold a lock to the PDB. You may be having this issue and the solution is here.

Q: Hot-reload is not working at all, what I'm doing wrong?

First, be sure that your build system is not interfering by somewhat still linking to your shared library. There are so many things that can go wrong and you need to be sure only cr will deal with your shared library. On linux, for more info on how to find what is happening, check this issue.

Q: How much can I change things in the plugin without risking breaking everything?

cr is C reloader and dealing with C it assume simple things will mostly work.

The problem is how the linker will decide do rearrange things accordingly the amount of changes you do in the code. For incremental and localized changes I never had any issues, in general I hardly had any issues at all by writing normal C code. Now, when things start to become more complex and bordering C++, it becomes riskier. If you need do complex things, I suggest checking RCCPP and reading this PDF and my original blog post about cr here.

With all these information you'll be able to decide which is better to your use case.
