Problem

MoQ's generator audit found upstream correctness fixes missing from its current forks and from rust2's imported generators. Without mirroring them here, the planned rust2 switch would lose the fixes.

Approach

Port Python's running-event-loop preference and Dart's allocation-failure scratch cleanup/disposal status reservation with the upstream regression tests. Keep rust2's namespaced generator changes intact. Record the source commits in uniffi/README.md.

Python async trait callbacks keep the configured loop while it runs, unlike upstream: a sync Rust call that blocks on a callback holds the caller's running loop, so the running-loop order would deadlock it (CodeRabbit's finding). An idle configured loop falls back to the running loop, so neither order's hang remains. _uniffi_rust_call_async keeps upstream's running-loop lookup. The deviation is recorded in uniffi/README.md.

Fork counterparts: kixelated/uniffi-rs#1 and kixelated/uniffi-dart#7. MoQ's parent quest is moq-dev/moq#7461.

Impact

• Public API: signatures unchanged. Python async calls use their running loop, async callbacks use the configured loop while it runs and otherwise the running loop, and Dart allocation failure preserves ownership.
• Wire and UniFFI metadata contract: unchanged.

Alternatives

• Do not merge upstream or import its parser/JNI/backend redesign. The MoQ quest audits current consumers and ports the relevant small fixes.
• For callbacks, a thread-local "inside a Rust poll" flag could tell a free caller loop from a blocked one. Dropped: more machinery, and a sync call that does not block would still queue on an idle configured loop.

Validation

• The original fork code reproduces the two-loop Python failure and Dart scratch/native-handle leaks under fault injection.
• New Python tests test_blocking_callback_from_a_running_loop and test_callback_while_the_configured_loop_is_idle (with fixture fn as_string_using_trait_blocking): the first hangs under the running-loop-first callback order, the second under configured-first; both pass with the fix.
• Python, Swift, and Kotlin futures fixture suites pass (Kotlin's sequential-timing assertion flaked once at load average ~29 and passed alone).
• The Dart input_scratch, callbacks, and trait_interfaces fixture suites passed on ea3d4cf8; this round does not touch Dart.
• Full nix develop --command just ci passes on 1ef2614a, which merges current main.

Follow-ups

• _uniffi_future_dropped_callback cancels with eventloop.call_soon from whichever thread Rust drops the future on; for a loop on another thread that is not thread-safe and may not wake it. Pre-existing, and the same upstream.

Walkthrough

The changes add a Dart input-scratch fixture and tests for allocation cleanup and conversion behavior. They add allocation-failure tests for disposal in callback and trait-interface fixtures. The Python async helper now prefers the running event loop and uses the configured loop as a fallback. Callback-specific loop selection and tests cover calls across loops and callbacks when the configured loop is idle or running in another thread.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 1ef26

The loop-selection fix addresses the reported callback hangs. Merge risk is low; follow up by bounding the blocking regression test and covering the fallible callback path.

Check that the persister stays usable after a failed disposal.

The test name says disposal stays retryable, but no call uses persister between the failed and the successful dispose(). If the failed attempt marks the persister disposed, the existing assertions still pass. The owner keeps its own reference, so the drop count does not change, and the load() check after the successful disposal throws either way. A load() call before the successful disposal returns an empty list on the current code, and throws StateError in the regressed case.

       tracker.calloc.failAfter = null;

Assert the retry state directly after the failed dispose().

Both tests check drop counts only after the retry. A dispose() that frees the handle before the status allocation would still pass these checks. In the trait test, probe keeps the Rust object alive, so a premature greeter release does not change the drop count. A direct greet call on greeter after the failed attempt can expose that release.

Object case, in uniffi/dart/fixtures/trait-interfaces/test/disposal_allocation_cases.dart:

   expect(() => probe.dispose(), throwsStateError);
   tracker.calloc.failAfter = null;
+  expect(disposalDropCount(), before);
   probe.dispose();

Trait case:

Add a configured-loop case that awaits a foreign async trait method from a second running loop.

test_call_from_a_second_event_loop awaits only always_ready(), which is a Rust async function with no foreign callback. No other test sets a configured loop. Foreign async trait callbacks use the same selector, _uniffi_get_event_loop(), so the changed branch is not exercised for trait callbacks. Add a sibling test that calls as_string_using_trait with a PyAsyncParser from a coroutine run by asyncio.run:

def test_trait_callback_from_a_second_event_loop(self):
    first = asyncio.new_event_loop()
    try:
        futures.uniffi_set_event_loop(first)

        async def test():
            self.assertEqual(await as_string_using_trait(PyAsyncParser(), 1, 42), "42")

        asyncio.run(test())
    finally:
        futures.uniffi_set_event_loop(None)
        first.close()

Keep first idle. Do not call run_forever on it in another thread. If first runs, the old global-loop selection can complete the callback, and the test no longer detects the regression. Without a running first, the old selection schedules the callback on a loop that never runs, so the call stalls. The new selection uses the caller's running loop and completes.

The test does not cover a synchronous Rust call that blocks the loop thread while a foreign callback runs. This comment does not raise that case.

Do not queue async trait callbacks on an idle configured event loop.

41-43: Minor · Stability & Availability · Poor tradeoff

Do not queue async trait callbacks on an idle configured event loop.

On a thread without a running loop, _uniffi_get_event_loop returns the configured loop even when that loop is not running. _uniffi_get_callback_event_loop passes that loop to asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe. The callback then waits until another thread starts the loop. The generated code sets no timeout on this wait, so the awaiting Rust call can block for as long as the loop stays idle. The fix needs a defined behavior for this case across the FFI callback boundary before the selection logic changes.

349-351: Trivial · Stability & Availability · Low value

Bound the blocking-callback test so a regression fails instead of hanging.

test_blocking_callback_from_a_running_loop has no time limit. Its sync call blocks the thread that runs asyncio.run. If a regression schedules the callback on that blocked loop, the callback never runs and the call never returns. The test runner does not stop it, because run_script waits with no timeout.

Run the whole asyncio.run scenario in a daemon worker thread, then join it with a bound. The blocked call stays on a running loop, so the trigger is preserved. A daemon thread does not keep the interpreter alive after the test fails. Re-raise any worker error so assertion failures still appear.

Moving only the blocking call to a worker thread does not preserve the trigger. The test loop would stay free, and the callback could run there.

Add a blocked-loop test for the fallible callback path.

126-126: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Add a blocked-loop test for the fallible callback path.

The new blocked-loop test, test_blocking_callback_from_a_running_loop, calls only as_string. That call reaches the infallible entry point at Async.py:100. The fallible entry point, _uniffi_trait_interface_call_async_with_error, selects the callback loop at Async.py:126, and no test runs that line with a blocked caller loop. Reverting line 126 to _uniffi_get_event_loop() would leave the Python suite passing. A throwing callback scheduled on a blocked caller loop can then wait indefinitely while the synchronous Rust call waits for its result.

Add a fallible blocking fixture in uniffi/fixtures/futures/src/lib.rs, modeled on as_string_using_trait_blocking at line 502. It should block on try_from_string_using_trait or try_delay_using_trait. Add a Python test beside test_blocking_callback_from_a_running_loop that calls this fixture from a running loop while a configured loop runs on another thread.
