v0.2.1

ABIBridge v0.2.1

Improvements

• Faster automatic symbol resolution for C, C++, and Swift, including initial lookups and repeated queries. (#97, #99)
• Reduced memory usage when indexing Swift declarations across loaded images. (#99)
• Faster path-scoped image lookup, loaded-image retention, and shared-cache symbol discovery. (#97, #99)

Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v0.2.1

v0.2.0

ABIBridge v0.2.0

New Features

• Added supported C++ invocation through NativeInvocation.hpp. Call retained C/C++ symbols with caller-supplied signatures, including direct member calls, reference arguments, nontrivial results, and retained receiver bindings. (#95)
• Added supported Objective-C++ selector invocation through ObjectiveCInvocation.hpp, with signature checks, receiver and result ownership handling, ARC/MRC support, and concrete methods on NSProxy subclasses. (#94)

Breaking Changes

• Swift/C++ pointer search and single-slot inspection, along with ABIDefaultPointerSearchOptions(), now default to automatic normalization. Data signatures are stripped on PAC-capable 64-bit ARM CPUs; pointer bits remain unchanged otherwise. Select .none, pointer_normalization::none, or ABIPointerNormalizationNone explicitly when raw-bit comparison is required. Normalization does not authenticate pointers. (#91)

ABIBridge v0.1.1

Bug Fixes

• Fixed imageChanged errors during loaded-image enumeration and symbol lookup when a loaded dyld shared-cache image could not be reopened, including affected iOS Simulator environments. (#89)

v0.1.0

ABIBridge v0.1.0

Initial release of ABIBridge, a Swift package for resolving mangled Swift and C++ symbols by source-level name and calling supported native functions and methods with ordinary Swift types and values.

Requires Swift 6.3+ and iOS 18.4+, macOS 15.4+, visionOS 2.4+, watchOS 11.4+, or tvOS 18.4+.

New Features

• Resolve native symbols without writing mangled names, including C++ functions, data, and vtables. Scope lookups to loaded frameworks or image paths, resolve batches, and try ordered fallback declarations.
• Call supported C/C++ functions and methods, including virtual methods, with typed Swift signatures. Invoke concrete synchronous, nonthrowing Swift functions, methods, initializers, and property accessors.
• Invoke Objective-C selectors on existing instances with support for optionals, typed blocks, and object ownership. Capture implementations for original-method calls and read named object or class ivars.
• Integrate custom Swift wrappers through explicit native layouts and ownership adapters.
• Read bounded native memory and discover referenced objects by vtable identity, with offset hints and revalidation.
• Access shared symbol resolution and memory inspection through C interfaces and C++20 wrappers, also usable from Objective-C++. Transfer resolved symbols between Swift and native adapters while retaining their images.

Native invocation requires the caller to provide the correct ABI signature and satisfy ownership and thread requirements.
