Ports the macOS-specific Zig code behind cfg(target_os = "macos"):
- renderer: a GraphicsApi trait with generic::Renderer<G>; Metal backend
(all renderer/metal/* files, shaders.metal verbatim, runtime library
compile, IOSurface layer, CVDisplayLink), shadertoy -> MSL via naga;
OpenGL remains the backend elsewhere.
- font: CoreText face, shaper and discovery with build.rs backend
selection (coretext default; coretext-freetype / coretext-harfbuzz /
coretext-noshape features), no fontconfig/freetype/harfbuzz on Apple.
- input: KeymapDarwin via UCKeyTranslate, option-as-alt, mac keycodes.
- os: macos, mach, cf_release_thread, NSProcessInfo args and macOS
branches; config: macOS defaults, keybinds, Application Support paths.
- termio/core: login(1) wrapping, openpty/execvpe, Darwin child exit
handling, os_log logging.
Compile-checked for aarch64/x86_64-apple-darwin (clippy -D warnings
clean) using the cross setup in docs/rewrite/notes/macos-M1.md; cannot
run here. The embedded runtime/C API (embedded.zig) is the next step.
Also includes the cross-platform integration edits shared by the crash,
verification, Windows and macOS work (Cargo target-gating, thread
crash-context hooks, apprt-gtk surface/IME refactor, termio/os cfg
gates), a cfg fix so ghostty-config builds on wasm32, and an allow for
the intentional recursion in the crash overflow test.
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace (3224 passed)
- cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
- cargo check --target aarch64-apple-darwin -p ghostty-renderer (with
the documented cross env)
Ports the parts of Ghostty's IO layer that don't depend on the terminal:
- pty.zig: pty pair, window size, mode, child-side setsid/TIOCSCTTY;
master is CLOEXEC with IUTF8 set
- Command.zig: fork/execvpe with Ghostty's exact child setup (stdio
dup2, best-effort chdir, rlimit restore, os/runtime pre-exec hooks,
cgroup handling) and exit status decoding
- shell_integration.zig for bash/zsh/fish/elvish/nushell plus feature
flags; scripts copied verbatim to resources/shell-integration/
- terminfo generator for xterm-ghostty, byte-identical to Zig's encode
output (golden file produced with the real Zig code)
This crate opts into unsafe_code = "deny" (fork/exec need it) with
allow + SAFETY comments on minimal items.
Integration left: config-derived option types are local stand-ins;
cgroup D-Bus scope creation is a closure hook; Exec/Termio/Thread/
stream_handler wait for ghostty-terminal. Pty now closes both fds on
drop (Zig never auto-closed the slave) - to re-check when wiring Exec.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-termio (52 tests, incl. real pty spawn test
expecting "hi\r\n31 97\r\n" from `echo hi; stty size`)
