Ports apprt/embedded.zig, main_c.zig and config/CApi.zig + c_get.zig as
crates/ghostty-lib (cdylib/staticlib/rlib `libghostty`), exporting every
function of the unchanged include/ghostty.h - the ABI Ghostty's Swift
macOS/iOS app links against. The embedded runtime implements the
runtime traits over the host's C callbacks, so the real core drives it.
- ghostty-core selects the renderer per target: Metal on Apple (surface
NSView/UIView via RtSurface::platform_view), OpenGL elsewhere.
- ghostty_config_get follows Zig's c_get rules via a CValue type (143
supported keys, checked against the Zig field types).
- The inspector C API is complete; its Metal backend replaces ImGui's
Metal renderer and has not run.
Verification: generated C ABI probe (sizeof/alignof/offsetof of every
struct/union, 755 enum values, every function linked, nm exports, headers
byte-identical to upstream); a C host on Linux covering init, CLI
actions, config, app, keys, focus and color scheme; an opt-in
test-platform feature creating real surfaces on Linux with headless EGL
and a pty (13 tests). Apple targets are clippy-clean but not run; the
Swift app has not been built against it.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-lib (and --features test-platform)
- cargo clippy --target aarch64-apple-darwin -p ghostty-lib (cross env
in docs/rewrite/notes/macos-M1.md)
rustfmt.toml sets group_imports, imports_granularity and imports_layout,
which are nightly-only; agents formatted with stable rustfmt, which
ignored them. This is a formatting-only pass with `cargo +nightly fmt`.
Test Plan:
- cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
- cargo test --workspace
Ports ZIG/src/config (minus C/WASM APIs) and cli/{args,CommaSplitter,
diagnostics}.zig into ghostty-config:
- all 202 options with exact names, types, defaults and verbatim docs,
declared through one config_struct! macro; Zig's comptime reflection is
replaced by the ConfigField/CliTarget traits
- loading: default XDG files, -e, config-file includes (optional '?',
cycle detection), themes incl. light:/dark: pairs, conditional config,
replay, finalize() derived defaults, clone/changed diffing for reload
- Linux/GTK default keybinds built on ghostty_input::binding::Set
- formatter producing +show-config output
Verified against the installed Ghostty 1.3.1: `+show-config --default`
and `--default --docs` match byte for byte (except gtk-opengl-debug,
which differs between debug/release builds), as do two complex loaded
configs.
Open items (docs/rewrite/notes/ghostty-config.md): url regex needs an
Oniguruma-compatible engine (onig) in the renderer; some font/terminal
types are local copies awaiting integration; KeyRemapSet equality is
order sensitive unlike Zig.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-config (255 tests)
- compare `ghostty +show-config --default --docs` with our formatter
