Summary: The issue is on ARM builds for Windows UWP. For the C# P/Invoke API wrapper, any native method that returns the YogaValue struct throws the AccessViolationException. The issue is not with structs in general, as returning the YogaSize / YGSize struct works fine. The issue seems to be limited to structs that have an enum member. I tried a number of things to resolve the issue without changing the underlying native API for Windows. I read the ARM documentation and saw reference to variable enum sizes based on the number of enum members, so I tried to use a number of different UnmanagedType values in a [MarsalAs()] attribute on the enum member of the C# struct declaration. What ultimately worked was to return a pointer to the location of the struct, and use the System.Runtime.InteropServices.PtrToStructure API to read the struct data from that pointer. I added a few new macros that will return the struct address on Windows only, other builds are not affected. Note, I have not tested the impact of this ch Closes https://github.com/facebook/yoga/pull/459 Reviewed By: emilsjolander Differential Revision: D4652278 Pulled By: splhack fbshipit-source-id: bf7ada4da1781e3f813b3ba331974b7bded476d9
Yoga

Building
Yoga builds with buck. Make sure you install buck before contributing to Yoga. Yoga's main implementation is in C, with bindings to supported languages and frameworks. When making changes to Yoga please ensure the changes are also propagated to these bindings when applicable.
Testing
For testing we rely on gtest as a submodule. After cloning Yoga run git submodule init
followed by git submodule update
.
For any changes you make you should ensure that all the tests are passing. In case you make any fixes or additions to the library please also add tests for that change to ensure we don't break anything in the future. Tests are located in the tests
directory. Run the tests by executing buck test //:yoga
.
Instead of manually writing a test which ensures parity with web implementations of Flexbox you can run gentest/gentest.rb
to generated a test for you. You can write html which you want to verify in Yoga, in gentest/fixtures
folder, such as the following.
<div id="my_test" style="width: 100px; height: 100px; align-items: center;">
<div style="width: 50px; height: 50px;"></div>
</div>
Run gentest/gentest.rb
to generate test code and re-run buck test //:yoga
to validate the behavior. One test case will be generated for every root div
in the input html.
You may need to install the latest watir-webdriver gem (gem install watir-webdriver
) and ChromeDriver to run gentest/gentest.rb
Ruby script.
.NET
.NET testing is not integrated in buck yet, you might need to set up .NET testing environment. We have a script which to launch C# test on macOS, csharp/tests/Facebook.Yoga/test_macos.sh
.
Code style
For the main C implementation of Yoga clang-format is used to ensure a consistent code style. Please run bash format.sh
before submitting a pull request. For other languages just try to follow the current code style.
Benchmarks
Benchmarks are located in benchmark/YGBenchmark.c
and can be run with buck run //benchmark:benchmark
. If you think your change has affected performance please run this before and after your change to validate that nothing has regressed. Benchmarks are run on every commit in CI.
