Struct BufferHandle 

pub struct BufferHandle { /* private fields */ }

A declaration of a buffer’s size, alignment, device location, and sync mode.

A BufferHandle is the in-memory representation of the 16-byte buffer handle entry in the tensor descriptor’s buffer table (see docs/spec/metadata.md § Buffer Table). It carries the metadata needed to locate and access a buffer but does not itself hold a pointer — the actual memory address is communicated out-of-band via the interchange protocol or the C ABI (see docs/impl/c-ffi.md).

Wire layout (ADR-018 § 3, ADR-020)

Offset	Field	Type	Size
0	byte_size	uint64 LE	8
8	alignment	uint32 LE	4
12	device_tag	uint8	1
13	sync_mode	uint8	1
14	memory_class	uint8	1
15	_reserved	uint8	1

Alignment rules

• alignment MUST be a power of two.
• For non-empty buffers (byte_size > 0): alignment MUST be at least MIN_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT (64 bytes).
• For empty buffers (byte_size == 0): any power-of-two alignment is valid, including 1. A reader MUST NOT dereference the pointer of an empty buffer.

See docs/spec/buffer-protocol.md § Alignment for the normative rules.

Examples

use hurray_core::{BufferHandle, DeviceTag, MemoryClass, SyncMode, MIN_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT};

// Non-empty CPU buffer, minimum SIMD alignment, default Standard class.
let handle = BufferHandle::new(1024, MIN_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT, DeviceTag::Cpu, SyncMode::ProducerSynced).unwrap();
assert_eq!(handle.byte_size(), 1024);
assert_eq!(handle.alignment(), 64);
assert_eq!(handle.device_tag(), DeviceTag::Cpu);
assert_eq!(handle.sync_mode(), SyncMode::ProducerSynced);
assert_eq!(handle.memory_class(), MemoryClass::Standard);
assert!(!handle.is_empty());

// CUDA buffer with Unified memory class.
let unified = BufferHandle::with_memory_class(
    4096, 4096, DeviceTag::Cuda, SyncMode::ProducerSynced, MemoryClass::Unified,
).unwrap();
assert_eq!(unified.memory_class(), MemoryClass::Unified);

// Empty buffer — alignment 1 is valid.
let empty = BufferHandle::empty(DeviceTag::Cuda);
assert!(empty.is_empty());
assert_eq!(empty.alignment(), 1);

Implementations

impl BufferHandle

pub fn new( byte_size: u64, alignment: u32, device_tag: DeviceTag, sync_mode: SyncMode, ) -> Result<Self>

Creates a new BufferHandle with the given size, alignment, device, and sync mode.

Errors

• Error::AlignmentNotPowerOfTwo — alignment is not a power of two.
• Error::AlignmentBelowMinimum — byte_size > 0 and alignment is less than MIN_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT (64).
• Error::InvalidSyncMode — device_tag is DeviceTag::Cpu and sync_mode is not SyncMode::ProducerSynced (CPU buffers MUST use SYNC_PRODUCER_SYNCED per the spec).

Examples

use hurray_core::{BufferHandle, DeviceTag, Error, SyncMode, MIN_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT};

// Valid: non-empty CPU buffer with minimum SIMD alignment.
assert!(BufferHandle::new(512, 64, DeviceTag::Cpu, SyncMode::ProducerSynced).is_ok());

// Valid: CUDA buffer with Event sync.
assert!(BufferHandle::new(512, 64, DeviceTag::Cuda, SyncMode::Event).is_ok());

// Valid: empty buffer with alignment 1.
assert!(BufferHandle::new(0, 1, DeviceTag::Cpu, SyncMode::ProducerSynced).is_ok());

// Error: alignment is not a power of two.
assert!(matches!(
    BufferHandle::new(512, 3, DeviceTag::Cpu, SyncMode::ProducerSynced),
    Err(Error::AlignmentNotPowerOfTwo { alignment: 3 })
));

// Error: non-empty buffer with alignment below the 64-byte minimum.
assert!(matches!(
    BufferHandle::new(512, 32, DeviceTag::Cpu, SyncMode::ProducerSynced),
    Err(Error::AlignmentBelowMinimum { alignment: 32, minimum: 64 })
));

// Error: CPU buffer with non-ProducerSynced mode.
assert!(matches!(
    BufferHandle::new(512, 64, DeviceTag::Cpu, SyncMode::Event),
    Err(Error::InvalidSyncMode(0x01))
));

pub fn with_memory_class( byte_size: u64, alignment: u32, device_tag: DeviceTag, sync_mode: SyncMode, memory_class: MemoryClass, ) -> Result<Self>

Creates a new BufferHandle with an explicit memory class.

Identical to BufferHandle::new but accepts a MemoryClass value. Use this constructor when the buffer’s memory class is not MemoryClass::Standard (e.g., CUDA managed memory, Metal shared storage, or peer-to-peer memory).

Errors

• Error::AlignmentNotPowerOfTwo — alignment is not a power of two.
• Error::AlignmentBelowMinimum — byte_size > 0 and alignment < 64.
• Error::InvalidSyncMode — device_tag is DeviceTag::Cpu and sync_mode is not SyncMode::ProducerSynced.

Examples

use hurray_core::{BufferHandle, DeviceTag, MemoryClass, SyncMode};

// CUDA unified (managed) memory buffer.
let handle = BufferHandle::with_memory_class(
    4096, 4096, DeviceTag::Cuda, SyncMode::ProducerSynced, MemoryClass::Unified,
).unwrap();
assert_eq!(handle.memory_class(), MemoryClass::Unified);

// CPU host-pinned buffer.
let pinned = BufferHandle::with_memory_class(
    512, 64, DeviceTag::Cpu, SyncMode::ProducerSynced, MemoryClass::HostPinned,
).unwrap();
assert_eq!(pinned.memory_class(), MemoryClass::HostPinned);

pub fn empty(device_tag: DeviceTag) -> Self

Creates an empty BufferHandle (zero bytes) on the given device.

The alignment is set to 1 — the minimum valid power-of-two for an empty buffer — and sync_mode is always SyncMode::ProducerSynced. This constructor is infallible.

Examples

use hurray_core::{BufferHandle, DeviceTag, SyncMode};

let handle = BufferHandle::empty(DeviceTag::Cpu);
assert!(handle.is_empty());
assert_eq!(handle.byte_size(), 0);
assert_eq!(handle.alignment(), 1);
assert_eq!(handle.device_tag(), DeviceTag::Cpu);
assert_eq!(handle.sync_mode(), SyncMode::ProducerSynced);

pub fn byte_size(self) -> u64

Returns the size of the buffer in bytes.

A value of 0 denotes an empty buffer whose backing pointer MUST NOT be dereferenced.

Examples

use hurray_core::{BufferHandle, DeviceTag, SyncMode};

let handle = BufferHandle::new(4096, 4096, DeviceTag::Cuda, SyncMode::Event).unwrap();
assert_eq!(handle.byte_size(), 4096);

pub fn alignment(self) -> u32

Returns the minimum alignment of the buffer’s base address in bytes.

Always a power of two. For non-empty buffers, always at least MIN_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT.

Examples

use hurray_core::{BufferHandle, DeviceTag, SyncMode, PAGE_ALIGNMENT};

let handle = BufferHandle::new(8192, PAGE_ALIGNMENT, DeviceTag::Cuda, SyncMode::Event).unwrap();
assert_eq!(handle.alignment(), 4096);

pub fn device_tag(self) -> DeviceTag

Returns the DeviceTag identifying the memory space this buffer resides in.

Examples

use hurray_core::{BufferHandle, DeviceTag, SyncMode};

let handle = BufferHandle::new(256, 64, DeviceTag::Metal, SyncMode::Event).unwrap();
assert_eq!(handle.device_tag(), DeviceTag::Metal);

pub fn sync_mode(self) -> SyncMode

Returns the SyncMode describing the producer–consumer ordering guarantee for this buffer.

Examples

use hurray_core::{BufferHandle, DeviceTag, SyncMode};

let handle = BufferHandle::new(1024, 64, DeviceTag::Cuda, SyncMode::ConsumerStream).unwrap();
assert_eq!(handle.sync_mode(), SyncMode::ConsumerStream);

// CPU buffers are always ProducerSynced.
let cpu = BufferHandle::new(1024, 64, DeviceTag::Cpu, SyncMode::ProducerSynced).unwrap();
assert_eq!(cpu.sync_mode(), SyncMode::ProducerSynced);

pub fn memory_class(self) -> MemoryClass

Returns the MemoryClass describing how this buffer is accessible.

Examples

use hurray_core::{BufferHandle, DeviceTag, MemoryClass, SyncMode};

// new() defaults to Standard.
let handle = BufferHandle::new(1024, 64, DeviceTag::Cuda, SyncMode::ProducerSynced).unwrap();
assert_eq!(handle.memory_class(), MemoryClass::Standard);

// with_memory_class() sets an explicit class.
let unified = BufferHandle::with_memory_class(
    1024, 64, DeviceTag::Cuda, SyncMode::ProducerSynced, MemoryClass::Unified,
).unwrap();
assert_eq!(unified.memory_class(), MemoryClass::Unified);

pub fn is_empty(self) -> bool

Returns true if this buffer has zero bytes (byte_size == 0).

Readers MUST NOT dereference the pointer of an empty buffer. In C ABI contexts an empty buffer MAY be represented by a null pointer.

Examples

use hurray_core::{BufferHandle, DeviceTag, SyncMode};

assert!(BufferHandle::empty(DeviceTag::Cpu).is_empty());
assert!(!BufferHandle::new(1, 64, DeviceTag::Cpu, SyncMode::ProducerSynced).unwrap().is_empty());
